Excusing Crime

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complexities of criminal responsibility, this book delves into the concept of excusing conditions in law. It challenges traditional views by advocating for the recognition of a broader array of excuses beyond duress, including 'diminished capacity', 'due diligence', and 'demands of conscience'. Jeremy Horder presents a compelling argument for how these factors should influence the legal treatment of individuals who may have committed wrongdoing.
