Self-Defence and the Classification of Defences

  • Frances Wright

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Over the last twenty years, criminal theorists have been occupied by attempts to classify defences. Particular attention has been paid to the distinction between "justifications" and "excuses". Theorists have found self-defence hard to classify, especially where it is based on a mistaken view of the facts.
