Definition in the Criminal Law

This book undertakes an investigation of the role and scope of definition within the criminal law set within a wider examination of the nature of legal materials and the diversity of perspectives on law. It offers an account of how the rules and principles found within legal materials provide practical opportunities for responding to, rather than merely following the law. This opens up a richer notion of legal doctrine than has been acknowledged in earlier representations of the workings of legal rules and principles. It also leads to a rejection of some of the established views on the roles of judges and academics, and provides the incentive for a more rigorous assessment of the serious challenge made by a 'critical' perspective on the criminal law. The intimate connection between the use of legal materials and the practice of definition is explored through a number of detailed studies. These deal with some of the apparently intractable problems concerning the definition of theft, and changes to the definition of recklessness culminating in the recent decision of the House of Lords in R v G. Theoretical insights on the different features of the process of definition and a remodelling of culpability issues are combined to question the conventional intellectual apparatus of the criminal law. The approach developed within the book offers a more realistic appraisal of the feasibility of reform, and of expectations for the principle of legality within the criminal law.
