The law relating to general defences is one of the most important
areas in the criminal law, yet the current state of the law in the
United Kingdom reveals significant problems in the adoption of a
consistent approach to their doctrinal and theoretical
underpinnings, as exemplified by a number of recent developments in
legislation and case law. A coherent and joined-up approach is
still missing. This volume provides an analysis of the main
contentious areas in British law, and proposes ways forward for
reform. The collection includes contributions from leading experts
across various jurisdictions. Part I examines the law in the United
Kingdom, with specialist contributions on Irish and Scottish law.
Part II consists of contributions by authors from a number of
foreign jurisdictions, all written to a common research grid for
maximum comparability, which provide a wider background of how
other legal systems treat problems relating to general defences in
the context of the criminal law, and which may serve as points of
reference for domestic law reform.
