Reviews

I very much enjoyed reading Making the Modern Criminal Law ... The monograph is an in-depth, persuasive engagement with, and challenge of, contemporary accounts of criminalisation. ... It provided a thorough engagement with key academic debates about criminalisation. * Penny Crofts, Criminal Justice * This is an immensely useful survey of the changing orthodoxy of criminal legal thought, intended to explain how we arrived at the current preoccupations of criminal law theory, especially the concern with getting the law right in its identification, labelling and condemnation of true or core wrongs or harms. * Ngaire Naffine, Sydney Law Review * The broad appeal of this book, to criminal lawyers, theorists, and legal historians, is in keeping with its erudition and ambition. It is an important work that makes vital contributions to the various fields it so skillfully traverses. * Chloe Kennedy, University of Endinburgh School of Law, Criminal Law and Philosophy *
