O'Neill C: Another Question of Arson

Another Question of Arson

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book examines whether the two dominant paradigms of punishment theory - retributivism and consequentialism - can be reconciled within a single coherent rationale. It addresses a central problem in criminal law theory and moral philosophy: how punishment can be justified in a way that is both principled and responsive to social consequences. Through a comparative and analytical approach, the book brings together major attempts to bridge the divide between deontological and consequentialist accounts of punishment. It moves from Kant and Bentham to Hegel's project of unification, and then to contemporary theorists including Rawls, Roxin, Brooks, Pawlik, Jakobs, Duff, Tadros, and Zaibert. In doing so, it analyses hybrid, limited, and supra-conceptual approaches across Anglo-American and Continental traditions. The book shows that the classical opposition between retribution and prevention no longer captures the complexity of contemporary punishment theory. Instead, it argues that many competing accounts converge on the idea of punishment as a mechanism of social ordering, while also showing that order cannot be understood merely as something to be maintained or restored. It proposes that any genuinely unifying theory must reconceptualise order as dynamic, contextual, and permeable, while also acknowledging the limits of theoretical unification. The book provides a clear framework for a fragmented debate and offers new perspectives on punishment, legitimacy, and ethics that will be of interest to anyone working in, or with an interest in, criminal law, jurisprudence, penal theory, criminology, and moral and political philosophy.

The Search for a Unified Theory of Punishment

Fire Safety Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the legislative framework that governs fire safety in England and Wales. Taking into account the significant amendments that have followed the tragic events of Grenfell Tower, it explains who is subject to duties under the order and what those duties are. It then deals with enforcement, covering the duties on enforcing authorities and the investigatory powers available to them, before looking at both the bringing of criminal proceedings and the powers to issue alteration, prohibition and enforcement notices. Accessible to both those new to the field and experienced legal practitioners, and to fire safety inspectors as well as risk assessors, it serves not only as a reference work, but also provides a detailed practical guide for those working in this area on a daily basis. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.

Fire Safety Law and Practice

Decriminalisation is often framed as a 'third way solution' between legality and criminalisation, but the complex regulatory field that surrounds it is rarely examined. This edited collection marks a departure from current approaches by focusing on the consequences of decriminalisation, rather than abstractly considering what law should be. The collection offers selected case studies where decriminalisation has occurred - drug use, prostitution, homosexuality, abortion and euthanasia - subjecting each to a socio-legal analysis. It pays critical attention to the restructuring of subjects, social space and norms that takes place when modes of governance are transformed. It offers a critical framework for academics, policy makers and the members of the public seeking to move beyond simplistic legal/illegal distinctions to better understand the realities that emerge when explicit criminal sanctions are removed.

Decriminalisation

The North America: Canada and the United States volume of the International Encyclopaedia of Restorative Justice presents an overview and systematic analysis of restorative justice law, policy, and practice across 28 jurisdictions (13 provinces and territories in Canada and 15 states in the United States). It addresses key research questions on the integration of restorative justice within, alongside, or outside criminal justice systems. The second part of the book is comprised of 9 thematic chapters that identify common historical strands in the region, address emerging issues, highlight promising advancements, and discuss structural challenges facing restorative justice theory and practice in the region.

Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement

Revenge for the Sixties

An original study of the UK's preventive hybrid orders, revealing how civil powers with criminal consequences target people as much as behaviour. A timely critique of how these powers disproportionately affect groups already subject to social disadvantage and intensive policing.

Creating the Criminal Other

Behavioural Control Orders

Congolese Genocides and International Criminal Law

Drawing on broader legal-political discourses within the party-state and institutionalised academia, this book shines a light on one of the most controversial legal principles in Chinese criminal justice: the presumption of innocence. It argues the reasons why there is no presumption of innocence in China, tracing the curve, or evolution, of academic discourse about presumption of innocence against the backdrop of changing politics, or varying emphases on national conditions, from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping. The book deepens our understanding of the trajectory of criminal justice reforms in the party-state and shows how the more open and liberal phases of the reform era opened up some space for pluralist views and constructive criticism. In comparison, the second wave of autocratisation of the system influenced the conception of the criminal and paved the way for an illiberal turn.

Misjudged

¿This book provides a comparative perspective on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different criminal law systems. To this end, the book brings together country reports from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, France and Belgium.
All country reports address the same key issues in order to facilitate comparative conclusions. Those key issues re: criminal liability for spreading the coronavirus, criminal liability of medical staff in triage situations, criminal liability of political decision-makers, as well as further (country-specific) challenges in the context of the pandemic and criminal law. Furthermore, they explore domestic case-law and academic literature relevant in this context.This book will be useful for criminal law scholars and practitioners as well as policymakers around the world. The comparative approach of the book will provide them with a more informed and objective perception of their national systems and their respective approaches to COVID-19 and criminal law. Another key objective of this volume in the ICJ Series is to foster dialogue and an exchange of ideas between stakeholders of different nations and ultimately to enable cross-semination between different criminal law systems.Prof. Dr. Frank Zimmermann is Professor for Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure, European and International Criminal Law as well as Criminal Law and Digitalization at the Institute for Criminal Sciences, Dept. V, University of Münster in Münster, Germany.

Comparative Perspectives

Criminal Law and the Covid-19 Crisis

Key Ideas in Law

This book explores the law, philosophy, and wider implications of that brief but highly consequential moment when a judge imposes sentence on a convicted offender. Sentencing is one of the most contested aspects of contemporary criminal justice. It is an important field of study, both as an instance of coercive state power over the citizen and as the point at which the statutory purposes of punishment are given public expression. Focusing on England and Wales, with occasional comparative reference to sentencing practice around the world, topics include the legal and ethical implications of pleading guilty, the origin and development of sentencing guidelines, and the 'ordinary' language in which the sentence itself must be pronounced in open court. Tensions arise over the appropriate treatment of cohorts including the young, racialised, mentally disordered, and dangerous, and the disparate outcomes such treatment can generate. At a time of unprecedented crisis - from the phenomenon of 'sentence inflation' 50 years in the making, to the criminal court backlog, to an overcrowded prison estate - the book concludes with an appraisal and critique of the Sentencing Act 2026. The Act was pitched as a once-in-a-generation attempt at substantive justice reform, but its precise impact remains to be seen. Key Features · Offers an original account of a field in transition, equipping readers with a rich and robust evidence base · Reconciles classical theories of punishment with modern case law and sentencing practice · Comparative insights provide perspective and distance, enabling readers to form their own views on a complex field
