Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the long-standing legal principle of "no punishment without fault" to determine if it still holds true in the present day. While morality dictates that those who act without knowledge of wrongdoing cannot fairly be punished, the author argues that this principle is incompatible with the consequentialist theories of punishment that prevail in criminal jurisprudence. The author suggests that the idea of fault cannot be separated from the act itself and that it is unjust to punish someone who, through no fault of their own, was unaware of the law they were breaking. However, the author contends that this should not prevent consideration of fault in sentencing, since those who act without knowledge of wrongdoing should be treated less harshly than those who act with full knowledge. The author concludes that, while the principle of "no punishment without fault" serves as a noble ideal, it is not always practical or just to apply it to the letter of the law.
