Review:

Review from previous editionPunishment and Responsibility is still regarded as one of the cornerstones of both penal philosophy and the burgeoning field of criminal law theory in Britain, Australia, Israel and North America. Its idea of criminal responsibility ... is the inspiration for or counterpoint to almost all serious scholarship in English in the field published over the last 35 years. (Nicola Lacey, A Life of H.L.A. Hart (OUP, 2004))
