| Sumario: | "The first volume in Joel Feinberg's four-volume series The moral limits of the criminal law, Harm to others focuses on the 'harm principle, ' the commonsense view that prevention of harm to persons other than the perpetrator is a legitimate purpose of coercive legislation. Feinberg presents a detailed analysis of the concept and definition of harm and applies it to a host of practical and theoretical issues, showing how the harm principle must be interpreted if it is to be a plausible guide to the lawmaker."--Contratapa. |
