Self-defence – the ‘ancient right’ – has never been more
relevant than in the present era of widespread calls for criminal
justice reform. The book substantially advances the patinaed
discussion by introducing for the first time a comprehensive
value-centric approach to thinking about the defence’s deeper
rationale. It tackles core issues such as the relative importance
of the State’s claimed monopoly on force, procedural justice and
the need to shore up the justice system’s legitimacy and
creditworthiness, everyone’s presumptive ‘right to life,’ and
the importance of ensuring equal standing between citizens. And, in
so doing, the book breaks ground by addressing public perceptions
of ‘just’ and ‘right’ outcomes, as well as the emphasis
legal systems place (and should place) on State power.
