Criminal Law and Prior Fault
Comparative Perspectives on Addiction and Intoxication
About this book
This book offers fresh perspectives on the role of addiction in prior fault culpability by integrating legal, psychological, neuroscientific and philosophical dimensions.
Are intoxicated defendants responsible for harms they cause to persons and property when intoxicated? Should they be criminally liable for those harms, even if they act without intention or control? What if their intoxicated state is associated with addiction?
Analysing the complex interactions between addiction, intoxication and law, prior fault is addressed from various jurisdictions including predominantly England and Wales, Scotland, and the Netherlands, while also incorporating multiple disciplines, thereby discussing prior fault structures from overarching, non-jurisdictional perspectives. These different disciplines and legal systems are not merely described but closely integrated through co-authored chapters, involving academics from different disciplinary fields and legal traditions.
This collection is a thorough resource for students, academics, researchers, and practising lawyers who aim to deepen their understanding of the law's approach towards addiction and intoxication. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of a collaborative approach between different legal traditions and interdisciplinary scientific understanding, thereby laying the groundwork for future legal reforms, informed legal practice, and research.
