Ignorance of Law

Auteur: Husak, Douglas (Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University, Department of Philosophy)
Editeur: Oxford University Press Inc
This book argues that ignorance of law should usually be a complete excuse from criminal liability. It defends this conclusion by invoking two presumptions: first, the content of criminal law should conform to morality; second, mistakes of fact and mistakes of law should be treated symmetrically.
