Ashworth Andrew, Zedner Lucia, Tomlin Patrick (eds.) Prevention and the Limits of the Criminal Law
Oxford University Press, 2013. — 319 p. — ISBN: 978–0–19–965676–9.
This book arises from a three-year study of Preventive Justice, generously funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project’ s main objective is to develop an account of the principles and values that should guide and limit the state’ s use of coercive preventive techniques. Central to the project is an interdisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional approach, developed with the collaboration of scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, jurisdictions, and legal cultures. This book is the product of two seminars held at All Souls College, Oxford, at which 14 leading international scholars in the fields of criminal law, public law, legal theory, criminology, philosophy, and political theory presented and discussed early drafts of what were to become the chapters collected in this volume. Each draft paper was subject to detailed commentary by a designated respondent and then subject to searching analysis by the invited seminar participants. Their collective contributions advanced the debate and undoubtedly enriched the final chapters in this volume. The contributing authors are all world-renowned scholars in their respective fields. They include leading academics from the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the UK, and continental Europe.
