Book Description
This publication contains the text, with commentary, of a draft code for the Scottish criminal law, prepared by a group of Scottish academic lawyers. It is a modernising draft based on existing substantive law, and is in the form of a Scottish Parliament Bill, called the 'Criminal Law (Scotland) bill. The code consists of 114 sections and three schedules, and is divided into 10 parts. These relate to general aspects such as the burden of proof, presumption of innocence, causation, defences and penalties; particular offences including sexual and non-sexual offences, offences against property and economic interests, extortion and deception, public order offences and those against law government and the administration of justice, offences against animals; as well as a section dealing with rules on consent, interpretation and final provisions.

Book Description
The subject of intention in the criminal law is currently causing many debates among criminal lawyers. This compelling and probing volume addresses two key questions: should the criminal law distinguish between direct intention and recklessness, and what should the law be concerning cases of oblique intention - i.e. cases in which the actor does not act in order to cause the proscribed result, but is nevertheless practically certain that his, or her, action will cause it? The discussion is divided into two parts with the first being devoted to the question of whether it is justified to grade offences based on the distinction between intention and recklessness. The second part deals with offences in which intention is required as a condition for the criminalisation of the conduct and in the context of which reckless actors are not exposed to criminal liability. The book explores the issue of intention from the viewpoint of degrees of moral culpability and it discusses, inter alia, the doctrine of double effect, the possibility that the law in cases of oblique intention should not be the same for all crimes of intention , and the possibility of using a moral formula in the definition of certain offences. The discussion also addresses many other criminal law issues, including the philosophy of punishment, the role of motives in determining degrees of blameworthiness, sentencing, stigma, and criminal attempts.

Book Description
This is the second of two Commission reports which examine options for reform of the law relating to criminal liability for encouraging or assisting another person to commit an offence (the previous report 'Inchoate liability for assisting and encouraging crime' was published in July 2006 as Cm. 6878 (Law Com. no. 300, ISBN 9780101687829). This report focuses on the law of secondary liability and examines the problems with the law as it currently stands; the differences between inchoate liability and secondary liability; recommendations to introduce statutory schemes of secondary liability and of innocent agency and a new offence of causing the commission of a no fault offence; defences and exemptions; and extra-territorial jurisdiction. It includes the text of two draft bills: Participating in Crime Bill and Participating in Crime (Jurisdiction, Procedure and Consequential Provisions) Bill. Taken together, the recommendations contained in both reports seek to establish a system whereby inchoate and secondary liability will support and supplement each other in a way that is rational and fair.

Book Description
Conspiring to commit a crime is a criminal offence. Under the current law, when two or more persons plot a crime they can be arrested at the planning stage, regardless of whether the crime is ultimately committed. Attempting to commit a crime is also an offence, but only if the perpetrator commits an act which is a "more than merely preparatory" step towards the commission of the offence itself. This consultation paper examines these two areas of criminal law. With conspiracy, conviction is dependent on it being proved that the perpetrator actually knows that the crime will be committed. With criminal attempt the uncertain character of the law leaves too much doubt in cases where common sense suggests that the accused is guilty. The law's definition of "preparatory" has become too generous to the accused. The Commission puts forward 21 proposals for consultation (which closes on 31 January 2008). The proposals should be considered in light of the recommendations made in the Commission's 2006 report "Inchoate liability for assisting and encouraging crime" (Cm. 6878, Law Com. No. 300, ISBN 9780101687829).
