Table of ContentsReviewsPrize: Shortlisted for the SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship 2011 'Baker's remedy to the crisis of unjust punishment is to locate a fundamental right not to be criminalized in the U.S. Constitution and its international counterparts. He persuasively argues that the time has come to take this fundamental right seriously. Legislatures that follow Baker's sage advice will produce a more just and enlightened penal code.' Douglas Husak, Rutgers University, USA 'Dennis Baker provides fascinating insight into the justification, if any, for criminalizing conduct that is not in itself harmful. His book is a rich resource for arguments about criminalization of many controversial activities in the world today.' Jeremy Horder, King's College London, UK Author InformationDennis J.
