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. 'this elegant, closely argued and convincing book is of
great value and can be expected to be of lasting influence.' James
Chalmers 'Crimes, Harms, and Wrongs . . . is a welcome addition to
this field, and should clarify the reader's thinking on a
breathtakingly broad range of issues. . . . This is an important
book, and [its] consideration of not only Anglo-American theory and
law, but also German legal doctrines and writings on
criminalisation, should ensure that this debate reaches new heights
in the future.' Findlay Stark 'the result of [the authors'] many
decades of thought and writing on this fundamental subject is an
integrated, accessible, philosophically sophisticated discussion of
this subject.' Justice Gilles Renaud 'A.P. Simester and Andreas von
Hirsch present an informed and systematic account of the principles
that, in their view, should structure decisions about what to
criminalize, and when.' Vincent Chiao 'an outstanding work,
original in many respects and meticulous in its arguments. It
represents the greatest advance on this subject since Feinberg's
four volumes . . . an outstanding contribution to the
re-invigorated criminalization debate.' Andrew Ashworth 'important,
original, interesting, and often ingenious. Unlike some recent
competitive books it has the virtue of making sound arguments. And
like everything else the authors have written, it is a joy to read
...This is an absolutely wonderful book.' Douglas Husak
