Utilitarianism runs even deeper in legal thinking than most of recognize. I’m thrilled to have contributed to this great new book that tracks some of the ways it does so. Thanks, Guillaume Tusseau, for the invitation!

I’m thrilled to see this volume out in print. Every single essay engages deeply with the most basic questions about what criminal law is all about. Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of it!

Rights in Criminal Law

The collection on 'Rights in Criminal Law' edited by @phirsch.bsky.social and Elias Moser is now out and free to download at www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph?do.... In my contribution, Ch 7, I argue that victims' rights should make no difference to whether someone can plead a justification.
