Praise for Restless Hearts Who amongst us would not want to be
offered a second chance to correct a previous mistake? Who amongst
us would not want the support and participation-even in a dream-of
national heroes to help us turn a failed mission into a mission
completed? Writing in a smooth, easily reading style, Commander
Baker weaves a complex, but almost plausible story of a group of
modern-day heroes who use a dream to gain the support and
participation by a group of earlier national heroes to turn a
failed mission into a mission completed. Drawing on his own
experience as an enlisted man and then an officer in the navy, he
learned about living right as you go, making amends if need be, and
the importance of second chances. I commend this book to your
reading. -Lawrence F. Snowden, Lieutenant General, US Marine Corps,
retired; veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam; highest
ranking survivor of the battle of Iwo Jima If Ernie Pyle had
breached the consciousness of war weary Americans with narrative
rather than articles and cartoons, he would have done so much in
the context of RESTLESS HEARTS. For those many patriots, past and
currently serving, who have crossed into the line of fire and
returned home, especially those bearing the scars of conflict,
Dennis Baker's uniquely woven and reflection provoking story of
service and sacrifice will be an emotional and satisfying read. We
were all changed by our experience in the combat arena, no matter
how brief that experience. RESTLESS HEARTS speaks to the humanity
of every American warrior, and the countless motivations that lead
a Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman to shield a comrade in mortal
combat. -James H Flatley III, Rear Admiral, USN (Retired) One of
three generations to command a carrier fighter squadron in combat,
a Navy test pilot and a recipient of the Navy's John Paul Jones
Award for inspirational leadership. Restless Hearts recognizes all
warriors and their families, as well as the hardships they
encounter from the scars of war, and seeks to provide hope for a
new tomorrow. The perfect gift for any veteran, their family, or
active military member serving today.
In Reinterpreting Criminal Complicity and Inchoate Participation
Offences, Dennis J. Baker argues that the mental element in
complicity is one of intention, that recklessness alone is not
sufficient. This is demonstrated by showing that the ancient and
modern authorities on complicity required intention. The book
argues the 'causal participation' element in complicity means that
the conduct element can only be established when there is
intentional encouragement on the part of the accessory. As the
Accessories and Abettors Act 1861, like most of the statutory
provisions found in the United States, deems that both perpetrator
and accessory are perpetrators for the purpose of punishment and
crime labelling, limiting the mental element in complicity to
intentional participation is, the author argues, the only way to
reconcile these provisions with the requirements of proportionate
punishment and fair labelling. As some forms of reckless
encouragement and assistance will not be criminalised if the mental
element in complicity is intention only, the author suggests that
the solution is to amend section 45 of the Serious Crime Act 2007
to criminalise reckless participation. In addition, the author
argues that standard complicity and joint enterprise complicity
have the same mental and conduct elements and thus joint enterprise
complicity is not a distinct form of complicity.
