This Friday, @ChloeJSKennedy outlines the argument in her recent book, Inducing Intimacy: we should consult the genealogy of legal responses to deceptively induced sexual and romantic relationships when evaluating how the law regulates such conduct: https://t.co/xsWL87vlSx

This is imminent!

[Criminal Justice Theory Blog @TheoryJustice]

This Friday, @Adam_J_Kolber argues: in our current non-ideal world, carceral punishment is better addressed through pure consequentialism (i.e. denying the value of deserved punishment) than standard retributivism (where moral desert justifies punishment): https://t.co/ZmotzZU65W

And here it is: @should_b_workin's post on whether actions can manifest traits or attitudes that are not actually present: https://t.co/jxlmp2wYSz Enjoy!

[Criminal Justice Theory Blog @TheoryJustice]

In our next post, @should_b_workin argues that, to a limited extent, the criminal law can fairly take D’s actions to manifest traits or attitudes even when we know that D does not actually possess them! Under what conditions? Find out this Friday on https://t.co/xsWL87vTI5!

@ValerijZisman's post on Empirical Research into the Psychology of Punishment is now live on our blog, Check it out at https://t.co/LmisSXpLA4. Comments and questions welcome!

[Criminal Justice Theory Blog @TheoryJustice]

In our next post, coming Friday, Valerij Zisman (of @MPICSL) discusses the use of empirical research in human psychology on punishment theory. He say that it can be a very important yardstick to assess ethical and legal theories, but we must use it more carefully. Watch for that!

Here's our very own @markedsouza1 on why we should not be tempted into thinking that an AI can be addressed as a criminal defendant.

[Criminal Justice Theory Blog @TheoryJustice]

Here is @markedsouza1's post on why AI entities can never be treated as responsible agents anything that is recognisably a system of criminal laws. https://t.co/67LBCFwB0P Comments/reactions welcome!

In our next post, this Friday, @markedsouza1 argues against recent suggestions that the criminal law should consider treating AI entities as autonomous agents, capable of being criminal defendants in their own rights. Look out for that!

In our next post, this Friday, @levinguever counters suggestions that some deviations b/w criminal law and morality are ok. He says (a) factors favouring supra-moral criminalisation can be overstated; and (b) we can regret even all-things-considered justified. Look out for that!
