Wrongs and Crimes

Professor Tadros succeeds admirably with his mission to consider the nature and sources of wrongdoing which every law student must begin with both with personal and interpersonal responses which arise... It is a great tribute to the author that he has been able to sift through the vast literature this subject generates to give us, as the readers a coherent seventeen chapters in such a lucid way thus making the book both readable and lovable ...to us, in any event, and no doubt to a new generation of applied criminologists, and possibly budding jurisprudents. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers * Wrongs and Crimes is up to the extraordinarily high philosophical standards that Victor Tadros has set throughout his career. ... Engaging with Tadros's work has been an unbelievably effective means to sharpen, refine, and improve my own thought. I am confident it will prove equally beneficial for any philosopher of criminal law. * Douglas Husak, Criminal Law and Philosophy * Philosophical research on foundational issues concerning interpersonal consent is in fairly early days, and Tadros has elevated it to new levels of rigour. * Tom Dougherty, Criminal Law and Philosophy * Wrongs and Crimes is something rare in moral philosophy and rarer still in the moral philosophy of punishment: a book whose good sense keeps pace with its seemingly limitless cleverness. Threaded through the intricate embroidery of cases are simple, powerful, and humane ideas. * Niko Kolodny, Professor of Philosophy, UC Berkeley *
