This volume collects 17 of Douglas Husak's influential essays in
criminal law theory. The essays span Husak's original and
provocative contributions to the major topics in the field,
including the grounds of criminal liability, the significance of
culpability, the role of defences, and the justification of
punishment. The volume includes an extended introduction by the
author, drawing together the themes of his work and exploring the
goals of criminal theory.
Together, the essays present a desert-based analysis of issues in
criminal theory that rejects the consequentialist approach more
familiar among legal scholars. The foremost concern of these essays
is to ensure that the principles and doctrines of the criminal law
preserve justice and do not sacrifice individuals for the common
welfare. Engagingly written, the essays are accessible to
non-specialists and represent an excellent introduction to current
issues and debates in the theory of criminal law.
