The Moral Limits of Criminal Law is a four-volume work that answers
the question: what kinds of conduct may a legislature make criminal
without infringing the moral autonomy of individual citizens?
Volume three, 'Harm to Self', tackles the riddles associated with
the commonly proposed principle called 'legal Paternalism'. It
evaluates (and rejects) the principle that it can be right to
impose coercion on a person 'for his own good', whatever his own
wishes in the matter. Chapters in this section discuss the concept
of personal autonomy (or 'sovereignty'), voluntariness, and
assumption of risk, as well as 'failures of consent' because of
duress, fraud, and other factors incompatible with voluntary
behaviour.
