Advance praise: 'Alexander and Ferzan consider an extremely wide range of important problems, both familiar and novel, in the philosophy of criminal law and punishment. Their work is punchy, interesting, entertaining, sharply argued, and right at the cutting edge. There are few people that I agree with less, or enjoy reading more.' Victor Tadros, University of Warwick Advance praise: 'When Alexander and Ferzan - two of our most original and stimulating criminal law theorists - offer a tour of the field's 'problems and puzzles', the smart move is to hop aboard. Readers not fully persuaded by Ferzander's heterodox yet rigorous arguments are nonetheless bound to emerge unsettled, and provoked to deeper thought.' Mitchell Berman, University of Pennsylvania Law School Advance praise: 'Alexander and Ferzan are deft deployers of analytic rigor to solve the puzzles and paradoxes that criminal law produces. Many will disagree with their creative and often elegant solutions, but all readers will be challenged and learn from this book. It is an indispensable work of criminal law theory.' Stephen J. Morse, University of Pennsylvania Law School
