Philosophy
Criminalization Project
Prof. Antony Duff (Principal Investigator)
Antony Duff is Professor of Philosophy and Head of the Philosophy Department at the University of Stirling. He works mainly on the philosophy of criminal law - in particular on the philosophy of punishment, on the proper aims, scope and structure of criminal law, and on the moral and political preconditions of criminal liability. His books include Trials and Punishments (CUP, 1986); Intention, Agency and Criminal Liability (Blackwell, 1990); Criminal Attempts (OUP, 1996); Punishment, Communication and Community (OUP 2000); Answering for Crime (Hart 2007), and (with Lindsay Farmer, Sandra Marshall and Victor Tadros) The Trial on Trial III: Towards a Normative Theory of the Criminal Trial (Hart 2007). He has also edited collections of readings on punishment, and edited and contributed to collections of new essays on criminal law theory (Philosophy and the Criminal Law: Principle and Critique, CUP 1998; Defining Crimes, OUP 2005). His recent projects, before the current project on Criminalization, were 'Answering for Crime', on the structures of the criminal law and of criminal responsibility (for which he held a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship, 2002-2005), and (with Lindsay Farmer, Victor Tadros and Sandra Marshall) 'The Trial on Trial' - an AHRC-funded project (2002-2005) working towards a normative theory of the criminal trial.
