SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Suitable for criminal law theorists, this work offers a fresh perspective on the structures of criminal law and criminal liability. Its starting point is a distinction between responsibility (understood as answerability) and liability, and a conception of responsibility as relational and practice-based.
