Details

Despite many journal articles on the subject, this book is unique in comprehensively addressing the topic of criminalisation of a ship's Master.

The book interrogates the aim to define the nature of criminalisation, identifies the constituent problems in such criminal accountability, and open debates on options for solutions to the problems in the criminal process. It combines research into criminalisation of the shipmaster with many practical examples, cases and jurisprudence.

The book will be directly relevant to the multitude of cases where the demand of society pushes to find someone to blame for environmental and human loss.
