In our next post, Sorcha Mc Cormack, @leedsbeckett.bsky.social argues that we are defined, in part, by our vulnerability to circumstances, and each other. Our autonomy-focused law of sexual consent should reflect this common vulnerability. Coming this Friday! criminaljusticetheoryblog.wordpress.com

In our next post, @marthe.bsky.social (Max Planck, Freiburg) argues that the wrongfulness of image-based sexual abuse lies in its infringement of personhood, and this infringement is better captured using a relational definition of persons.

This Friday, @chloejskennedy.bsky.social outlines the argument in her recent book, Inducing Intimacy: we should consult the genealogy of legal responses to deceptively induced sexual/romantic relationships when evaluating how the law regulates such conduct: criminaljusticetheoryblog.wordpress.com

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.

This Friday, @adam-kolber.bsky.social argues: in our current non-ideal world, carceral punishment is better addressed through pure consequentialism (ie denying the value of deserved punishment) than standard retributivism (where desert justifies punishment): criminaljusticetheoryblog.wordpress.com
