The state’s use of the threat, and imposition, of punishments to
regulate conduct is thought (or at least said) by many to be
legitimised by the idea that the criminal law’s burdens only fall
on those who are blameworthy for their conduct. However, the formal
concept of ‘blameworthiness’ needs to be made substantive. This
puts various ideas regarding the criminal law’s person at the
heart of debates about blame, guilt, and responsibility. How is the
criminal law’s person constructed, by whom, and with what
disciplinary norms? How is it threatened by new ‘knowledge’,
and how do those threats play out amongst the various stakeholders
who claim the criminal law’s person as ‘theirs’? To address
these and cognate questions, this volume brings together an
international group of academics to engage with the criminal
law’s person from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
