In this book Greenawalt explores the three-way relationship between
the idea of freedom of speech, the law of crimes, and the many uses
of language. He begins by considering free speech as a political
principle, and after a thorough and incisive analysis of the
justifications commonly advanced for freedom of speech, looks at
the kinds of communications to which the principle of free speech
applies. He then turns to an examination of communications for
which criminal liability is fixed. Focusing on threats and
solicitations to crime, Greenawalt attempts to determine whether
liability for such communications seriously conflicts with freedom
of speech. In the second half of the book he goes on to develop the
significance of his conclusions for American constitutional law,
addressing such questions as what should be considered "speech"
within the meaning of the First Amendment, and what tests the
courts should employ in deciding whether particular criminal
statutes should be held constitutional. He concludes that the
issues are too complex to yield simple solutions, and insists that
the protection of the First Amendment can be reduced neither to one
justification nor to one all-purpose test of coverage.
