Zusatztext Head and shoulders above anything else that I have read in criminalisation theory so far. Informationen zum Autor AP Simester is Amaladass Professor of Criminal Justice and Co-Director of the Centre for Legal Theory at the National University of Singapore, and Edmund-Davies Professor of Criminal Law at King's College London, UK. Andreas von Hirsch is Emeritus Honorary Professor of Penal Theory and Penal Law at the Cambridge University, and Honorary Professor of Penal Theory at the Law Faculty, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Germany. Much of his earlier writing has appeared under his anglicised name, Andrew von Hirsch. Klappentext When should we make use of the criminal law? Crimes, Harms, and Wrongs offers a philosophical analysis of the nature and ethical limits of criminalisation. The authors explore the scope of harm-based prohibitions, proscriptions of offensive behaviour, and 'paternalistic' prohibitions aimed at preventing self-harm, developing guiding principles for these various grounds of state prohibition. Both authors have written extensively in the field. They have produced an integrated, accessible, philosophically-sophisticated account that will be of great interest to legal academics, philosophers, and advanced students alike.
