Celebrating the scholarship of Andrew Ashworth, Vinerian Professor
of English Law at the University of Oxford, this collection brings
together leading international scholars to explore questions of
principle and value in criminal law and criminal justice.
Internationally renowned for elaborating a body of principles and
values that should underpin criminalization, the criminal process,
and sentencing, Ashworth's contribution to the field over forty
years of scholarship has been immense. Advancing his project of
exploring normative issues at the heart of criminal law and
criminal justice, the contributors examine the important and
fascinating debates in which Ashworth's influence has been
greatest. The essays fall into three distinct but related areas,
reflecting Ashworth's primary spheres of influence. Those in Part 1
address the import and role of principles in the development of a
just criminal law, with contributions focusing upon core tenets
such as the presumption of innocence, fairness, accountability, the
principles of criminal liability, and the grounds for defences.
Part 2 addresses questions of human rights and due process
protections in both domestic and international law. In Part 3 the
essays are addressed to core issues in sentencing and punishment:
they explore questions of equality, proportionality, adherence to
the rule of law, the totality principle (in respect of multiple
offences), wrongful acquittals, and unduly lenient sentences.
Together they demonstrate how important Ashworth's work has been in
shaping how we think about criminal law and criminal justice, and
make their own invaluable contribution to contemporary discussions
of criminalization and punishment.
