Summary
The field of Tort and Crime is in its infancy. This book’s purpose is to contribute to its coming of age. It seeks to do so by exploring, and explaining, important connections between tort and crime, and looking generally at how law changes. Criminal law and tort law have seen links across substantive concepts and doctrines, and had interfaces for their procedural rules for hundreds of years: this work explores the connections made, unmade, and missed, seeking to draw out a deeper understanding of them and of legal development in general.
