Criminal Responsibility and Social Constraint

This book explores the relationship between criminal responsibility and social constraints. McConnell argues that a just system of punishment must take into account the constraints placed upon individuals by their social environment, and that criminal responsibility should be defined accordingly. Drawing on both legal and philosophical perspectives, McConnell offers a compelling case for a more nuanced approach to criminal responsibility.
