On Strict Liability, Regulatory Offenses, and Overcriminalization
Monday, August 13th, 2012The latest Illustrated Guide post is finally up. It only took for-freaking-ever, what with work and family and something like twenty rewrites. It goes into some of the problems with strict liability, overcriminalization and regulatory crimes — which is the perfect way to sneak in a (simplified) history lesson on criminal law, to show how the problems developed. It wraps up with some preachy solutions.
It’s the longest one yet, with 56 panels and over 100 drawings. The tl;dr version is “good people still get in trouble, but it’s fixable.”
The first half can be seen here.
