Its practitioners explore such diverse conceptual and normative matters as the character of a culpable act and the proper contours of criminal liability for an omission, the principles of causation, the difference between defenses of justification and of excuse, the nature of complicity, and a variety of puzzles involving attempts, among innumerable other topics. Historically, however, one question has dominated the rest: in virtue of what is the state morally justified in subjecting an individual to criminal punishment—i.e., the intentional infliction of suffering and/or the deprivation of substantial liberties, joined to moral censure or condemnation? Answers to this question routinely travel under the heading of “theories of punishment,” though “justifications for punishment” would be more apt.

  • Page 94 Carl Cohen the Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical
    Page 94 Carl Cohen The Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical Research Carl Cohen is a professor at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor. (Source: "The Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical Research," The New England Journal of Medicine 314 [1986], 865-869. Notes have been omitted. Copyright © 1986, Massachusetts Medical Sociy. All rights reserved. Reprinted by permission of The New England Journal of Medicine.) Using animals as research subjects in medical investigations is widely condemned on two grounds: first, because it wrongly violates the rights of animals, and second, because it wrongly imposes on sentient creatures much avoidable suffering. Neither of these arguments is sound. The first relies on a mistaken understanding of rights; the second relies on a mistaken calculation of consequences. Both deserve definitive dismissal. Why Animals Have No Rights A right, properly understood, is a claim, or potential claim, that one party may exercise against another. The target against whom such a claim may be registered can be a single person, a group, a community, or (perhaps) all humankind. The content of rights claims also varies greatly: repayment of loans, nondiscrimination by employers, noninterference by the state, and so on. To comprehend any genuine right fully, therefore, we must know who holds the right, against whom it is held, and to what it is a right. Alternative sources of rights add complexity Some rights are grounded in constitution and law (e.g., the right of an accused to trial by jury); some rights are moral but give no legal claims (e.g., my right to your keeping the promise you gave me); and some rights (e.g., against theft or assault) are rooted both in morals and in law.

  • Washington Defendants' New Right of Pre-Trial Flight
    NOTE Washington Defendants' New Right of Pre-Trial Flight Christopher T Igielski" As an indoctrinee to criminal law in the first semester of law school, I buried more than one naive assumption about the purpose and workings of criminal law. For instance, I learned that criminal law serves the important and broad societal purposes of retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence. Yet, I can call to mind a bleached notion that criminal law should mainly serve the interests of crime victims. In the household of my youth, loud after-dinner discussions following the evening news focused not on the deterrence of future crime, the moral imperative of retribution, or the elusive promise of "correction." Rather, we were concerned that the justice system punish criminals for the sake of their victims. We believed that rape victims should not be deprived of "such balm as a conviction of their torturer supplies."1 We felt that families of murder victims have a right to know that the person who took the life of a loved one will also be made to suffer. Law students are taught doctrines of legal philosophy that neatly flank and dismember the common idea that criminal law should punish wrongdoers on behalf of their victims. First, vengeance is identified as a base moral purpose, ill-equipped to meet higher social objectives. For instance, acts of vengeance do not stoically deliver punishment as a moral obligation to the wrongdoer. Nor does vengeance acknowledge the sickness of the wrongdoer as a condition that society must cure. Second, law students learn that, from a historical and practical viewpoint, a foremost purpose of criminal law is to serve the interest * J.D.

    UFW DOCUMENTATION PROJECT ONLINE DISCUSSION November 2004 Abby Flores Rivera, 11/1/04 RE: Prayers for a Mighty Chavista Dear Richard, Danny, Albert, Sammy, Family and All: When I first met Minnie it was behind the counter of the Jewish bakery you mentioned in your e- mail, Richard. (I had arrived late from LA to your wedding but just in time for all the great dancing so I never got to meet your parents.) Later, all of us, Anna and Lou, went to see Minnie where I met her from behind the counter with the wonderful aroma of good bread baking that managed to pleasantly form a lasting impression on me and a great way to remember a first meeting. I was amazed at how she could run the bakery, and manage her home and kids from there as well. Four sons is not an easy job. Later, I was even more impressed at how she ran her home. Wish that my home could look like hers and I only had two kids. She really had you guys in check, in sports, community and church work at a young age, etc. She is a tough lady and proved hands down that she could handle so much more. Minnie ran the San Ysidro Office like a tight ship. She worked on many projects at a time with nothing seeming impossible to her. She was always on alert to bring farm workers in on the spot to help with projects and had the keen ability for spotting them. If she learned someone had a particular skill, or had an eagerness to help do whatever was needed, she would enlist them quickly.

  • The Processors Viewpoint on the Implication of the 1967 Federal Meat Inspection Act J
    241. THE PROCESSORS VIEWPOINT ON THE IMPLICATION OF THE 1967 FEDERAL MEAT INSPECTION ACT J. A. BEAVERS, JR. BEAVERSPACKING CO., INC. Perhaps the best capsule description I could Give I; to the response of the Meat Packing Industry to the Wholesome Meat Act of 1367-- at least the independent segment thereof €or which I an qualifies to speak-- is that independent packers at presect are in a state of confusion bordc.ring on chaos. This judgment should not be misconstrued to ?Infer that independent packers are resisting the administrztion and enforcement of the new lax. To the contrary, much of the confusion stems from their sincere anxiety to comply and conform. My heartfelt sympathy goes out--and I am -not being facetious--to the top officials of the consuxer and marketing service, USDA, who arc charged with the administration and enforcement of the new law. Rather than finding themselves with the responsibility of what would have been the some- what more reasonable and orderly procedures of the Purcell Bill, which we did support, as did the department initially, they found themselves catapulted, largely by hysteria and panic of ow press and our legislators, into the almost unmanageable task which now confronts them, with neither suff icicnt money nor manpower available for the gargantuan task. Immediately following the passage of the act, our association, which had fought it vigorously, for reasons which should become apparent as I proceed, gave tangible evidence of our willingness to cooperate with the department in facilitating the compliance of our members with its provisions. We offered the courtesy of our platform at large meetings at Bd Harbour, Florida, and New Orleans, and at other smaller meetings, for them to present their interpretations of the provisions of the law and to answer questions of our members as to specific applications.
