In recent years the philosophical study of ques- tions about the legal and the criminal has flourished. We hope that Criminal Law & Philosophy will play a valuable role in bringing together the exciting work that is now being done in philosophy of criminal law, and in promoting and stimulating more such work. The growth in interesting and original work on philosophical aspects of criminal law over the last two decades can be ascribed partly to the way in which academic lawyers have come to pay more serious attention to the theoretical dimensions of their subject and its connections with other subjects, and partly to the way in which philosophers have become more ready to take the criminal law seriously as a human practice.
