- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the product of extensive research and reflection over a substantial period of time. It sets out to explain the meaning of an attempt, to situate attempts in action theory and to resolve conceptual problems with criminal attempts prior to advancing its own theory of attempts. Over the course of nine chapters, it advances cogent, insightful and original arguments thoroughly grounded in relevant scholarship and case law. Part I examines the concept of attempts and its relationship with intention, action subjectivity and possibility. Part II builds on this to offer a novel and ambitious theory of criminal attempts.
