TAILIEUCHUNG - Crime and Culpability: A Theory of Criminal Law

Ultimately, what underlies the criminal law is a concern with harms that people suff er and other people cause – harms such as loss of life, bodily injury, loss of autonomy, and harm to or loss of property. Th e criminal law’s goal is not to compensate, to rehabilitate, or to inculcate virtue. Rather, the criminal law aims at preventing harm. | Larry Alexander Kimberly Kessler Ferzan with Stephen .Mocvc Crime and Culpability A Theory of Criminal Law CAMBRIDGE INTRODUCTIONS TO PHILOSOPHY AND LAW Cambridge .orgi9780521518772 This page intentionally left blank Crime and Culpability A Theory of Criminal Law This book presents a comprehensive overview of what the criminal law would look like if organized around the principle that those who deserve punishment should receive punishment commensurate with but no greater than that which they deserve. Larry Alexander and Kimberly Kessler Ferzan argue that desert is a function of the actor s culpability and that culpability is a function of the risks of harm to protected interests that the actor believes he is imposing and his reasons for acting in the face of those risks. The authors deny that resultant harms as well as unperceived risks affect the actor s desert. They thus reject punishment for inadvertent negligence as well as for intentions or preparatory acts that are not risky. Alexander and Ferzan discuss the reasons for imposing risks that negate or mitigate culpability the individuation of crimes and omissions. They conclude with a discussion of rules versus standards in criminal law and offer a description of the shape of criminal law in the event that the authors conceptualization is put into practice.
