Title: Killing in Self-Defence (Oxford Monographs on Criminal Law and Justice)
Description: In what circumstances should we be allowed to kill an intruder who breaks into our home? Should battered women be forgiven for killing their husbands? This book analyses the questions raised by the argument of self-defence, and offers a theoretical framework for understanding the defence in the context of human rights norms.
