'Findlay Stark's book on the culpability of recklessness and negligence is rigorous, thorough and thought provoking. It is persuasively argued, and engages in stimulating ways with both criminal law theory and caselaw ... the book offers valuable and original contributions throughout, which will make it a rewarding read for criminal law scholars and practitioners alike.' Alexander Sarch, Criminal Law and Philosophy 'Findlay Stark's book is a major contribution to the study of legal understandings of recklessness and negligence. It provides new insights into these concepts, but does so in a way which is focussed on the difficulties facing judges in these cases. It is beautifully written and clearly argued: academic scholarship at its best.' Jon Herring, Law Quarterly Review

Jon Herring, Law Quarterly Review 'Culpable Carelessness is an excellent piece of work: it is learned and persuasive, and adds much value to the literature. It is now the essential point of reference on recklessness and negligence in the common law tradition, and it deserves a befittingly wide readership.' Andrew Cornford, Criminal Law Review 'Culpable Carelessness by Findlay Stark is a careful and considered contribution to the 'punishment for negligence' debate. As well as providing a comprehensive overview of the doctrinal and theoretical aspects of recklessness and negligence in the criminal law, it also offers novel insights for scholars already steeped in these debates. An additional methodological strength is that Stark takes seriously the connection between theory and law, offering useful potential jury instructions on recklessness and negligence.'
