The Criminalization series arose from an interdisciplinary
investigation into criminalization, focussing on the principles
that might guide decisions about what kinds of conduct should be
criminalized, and the forms that criminalization should take.
Developing a normative theory of criminalization, the series
tackles the key questions at the heart of the issue: what
principles and goals should guide legislators in deciding what to
criminalize? How should criminal wrongs be classified and
differentiated? How should law enforcement officials apply the
law's specifications of offences? The fourth book in the series
examines the political morality of the criminal law, exploring
general principles and theories of criminalization. Chapters
provide accounts of the criminal law in the light of ambitious
theories about moral and political philosophy - republicanism and
contractarianism, or reflect upon on the success of important
theories of criminalization by viewing them in a novel light. Ideas
that are fundamental to any complete theory of the criminal law -
liberty, harm, and the effect on victims - are investigated in
depth. Sociological investigation of the criminal law grounds a
critical investigation into the principles of criminalization, both
as a legislative matter, and with respect to criminalization
practices, in contemporary and historical contexts. The volume
broadens our conceptions of the theory of criminalization, and
clarifies the role of the series in the development of this theory.
It is essential reading for all interested in legal, political, and
social theories of criminalization.
