Duff, Antony,

The realm of criminal law / R A Duff. - First edition. - viii, 373 pages ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references (pages 335-354) and index.

We are said to face a crisis of over-criminalization: our criminal law has become chaotic, unprincipled, and over-expansive. This book proposes a theory of criminal law, as an institution that can play an important but limited role in the civil order of a political community: it shows how criminal law could be ordered, principled, and restrained.
