- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph marks the culmination of a 15-year project. It traces shifts in English criminal law’s conception of responsibility since the eighteenth century and situates them in a set of broader social, political, cultural and economic changes. The book therefore distils academic literature from law, philosophy, criminology, politics, and social, legal and intellectual history in order to contextualise the relevant case law and legislation. The main challenge was to assimilate this complex material and develop a clear explanatory thesis which remained sensitive to historical and institutional context.
