Recenzje

'Arlie Loughnan's Self, Others and the State is an important and fundamental analysis of criminal law: how its thinking has been shaped, its principles established, its organization created and justified and the role of criminal responsibility in each of these dimensions of the discipline. It offers a direct and effective challenge to the prevailing scholarship.' Ngaire Naffine, Journal of Legal Philosophy
