- D. Baker’s pathbreaking monograph advances understanding of criminal complicity and inchoate participation offences, two notoriously complex areas of criminal law. Baker argues that the mental element in complicity is intention and recklessness cannot suffice. As both perpetrator and accessory are perpetrators for the purpose of punishment and crime labelling, limiting the mental element to intentional participation is the only way to reconcile the law with the requirements of proportionate punishment and fair labelling. Lord Toulson benefitted from a draft of the work whilst examining the issues in Jogee [2016] UKSC 8, the leading Supreme Court authority on the topic.
