First Edition. 54 pp. Original printed wrappers. Publisher's compliments card laid in. Very Good. Lionel Cohen Lectures, Tenth Series.

This orientation of the system towards reform of the offender rather than punishment meant in her view that criminal law should dispense with proof of individual responsibility, confining the trial's attention to the facts of the offence and deferring any consideration of the offender's state of mind to the much more important sentencing stage, where the focus should be how to determine the best means of treatment or rehabilitation. In Herbert's view, this violated fundamental liberal values: it was an overpaternalistic approach which failed to take individual agency seriously. It therefore prejudiced what was genuinely moral abut criminal law. This, he argued, is not the fact that its content necessarily reflects moral values, but that its method of judging and ascribing blame respects individual freedom and responsibility. Two of the lectures [those described above] were subsequently published as The Morality of the Criminal Law (Nicola Lacey, A Life of H. L. A. Hart, The Nightmare and the Noble Dream, 2004, 266-7).…
