Abstract

This essay reflects on some of the major themes running through Foundational Texts in Modern Criminal Law, a collection of essays in which contemporary scholars engage critically with formative texts in criminal legal thought since Hobbes. This project aims to contribute to the emergence of a canon, along with a documentary intellectual and disciplinary history, of modern criminal law and, at the same time, to take a snapshot of contemporary work on criminal law within that historical context.

Keywords: criminal law, comparative law, criminal law theory, history of criminal law

JEL Classification: K14
