Details

We are said to face a crisis of over-criminalization: our criminal law has become chaotic, unprincipled, and over-expansive.

This book proposes a theory of criminal law, as an institution that can play an important but limited role in the civil order of a political community: it shows how criminal law could be ordered, principled, and restrained.
