Blaming people for doing wrong is a necessary and normative endeavour that brings with it unequivocally negative, material consequences. This book has sought to rouse the criminal law, as a form of public law, to its duty to protect the person who offends as penal subject, which precedes its duty to hold them responsible for culpable wrongdoing. It has argued that to protect is to advance social justice, and it has named and explained the form that justice must take at the heart of the moral conversation between state and person within the criminal law. In proposing a Universal Partial Defence, the book has sought to shift the boundaries of blame to facilitate a more authentic account of personhood at the heart of the criminal law. The conclusion provides an overview of key contributions.
