The Logic of Consent analyzes the varied nature of consent
arguments in criminal law and examines the confusions that commonly
arise from the failure of legislatures, courts and commentators to
understand them. Peter Westen skillfully argues that the conceptual
aspect accounts for a significant number of the difficulties that
legislatures, courts and scholars have with consent in criminal
cases; he observes that consent masquerades as a single kind of
event when, in reality, it refers to diverse and sometimes mutually
exclusive kinds of events. Specifically, consent is used in law to
refer to three pairs of contrasting kinds of events: factual versus
legal, attitudinal versus expressive, and prescriptive versus
imputed. While Westen takes no position on whether the substance of
existing defenses of consent in criminal law ought to be enlarged
or reduced in scope, he examines each of these contrasting events
and analyzes the normative confusions they produce.
