1 Crim. L.F. v (1989-1990)

handle is hein.journals/crimlfm1 and id is 1 raw text is: Autumn 1989 Foreword Criminal Law Forum is born out of a conviction that a new scholarly journal is needed to capture the changes that are transforming the criminal law as we have known it. Launched in the first month of the last decade of the century, the Forum is very much a creature of its time: a time when there are no longer any easy certainties about the purpose of the criminal law, its proper ambit, or its effectiveness. The pages of Criminal Law Forum are intended to be a meeting place where scholars from around the world can share their observations and in- sights about these changes. The Forum's existence is a continuing affirmation of the importance of new ideas in understanding our world and, more sig- nificantly, in shaping it. A forum is a place for discourse: for experiences to be recounted, for opinions to be aired, for reflections to be shared. In this Forum, the discourse will be about the enduring preoccupations of the criminal law: the embodi- ment and enforcement of fundamental values. It is our hope that, in these pages, scholars will address the basic questions confronting us all. How do our present criminal laws, once cornerstones of emerging nation-states, ap- ply in a world increasingly without borders? What are, and what should be, the shared values of the new global society? What powers should enforce these values in the future? How will they do so effectively and equitably? The Forum will have achieved its purpose if future scholars, looking back through these pages, can trace the emergence of a global community of criminal law scholars working together to respond to their changing world and striving to create a better one. Vincent M. Del Buono v Paul H. Robinson
