This is surprising insofar as much of the theory of democracy concerns how shared norms become binding law, and where are shared norms more forcefully expressed or enforced than in the domain of criminal law? Perhaps the reason for democratic theorists’ recent neglect of criminal justice and punishment is the fact that there is so little agreement in most democratic societies as to the purpose of punishment. Is it fundamentally retributive in purpose, and therefore appropriately measured out in proportion to the seriousness of the offense? Is its purpose deterrent, so that no greater (and no lesser) punishment should be inflicted than is necessary to dissuade individuals from violating the law? Or is its purpose rehabilitative, to “discipline” in its root meaning as synonymous with “teach”? Or, finally, we might conceive of criminal justice as restorative, with the aim of repairing victims’ injuries and reintegrating offenders into responsible membership in the community. There is clearly no settled consensus on these questions in contemporary democracies.","PeriodicalId":344882,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Criminal Law Review","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130066039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Rape and Force: The Forgotten Mens Rea","authors":"Kit Kinports","doi":"10.1525/NCLR.2001.4.2.755","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1525/NCLR.2001.4.2.755","url":null,"abstract":"In rape cases involving physical violence or express threats of physical harm, proof of the actus reus obviously does establish mens rea with respect to force as well as nonconsent. A defendant who beat or threatened to kill his victim could hardly raise a plausible argument that he did not know he was using force. But, in other circumstances, the defendant's mens rea vis-a-vis force may be less clear, and it may therefore make a difference whether a rape conviction requires proof that the defendant purposely intended to use force, or whether it is enough that he knew he was exercising force, that the woman thought he was using force, or that a reasonable person viewing the situation would have thought so. Given the traditional criminal law assumption that a mens rea requirement attaches to every material element of a crime, it seems odd that so little attention has been paid to the question of what mens rea, if any, attaches to the force element.Admittedly, a handful of courts have paid lip service to this issue, and their opinions are described below in Part II. But the overwhelming majority of court decisions and commentaries discussing mens rea and rape have focused exclusively on the defendant's beliefs and mistakes about the victim's consent. As explained in Part III, this almost universal disregard of mens rea issues as applied to the element of force confirms the redundancy of the force requirement, once absence of consent and its accompanying mens rea have been established.","PeriodicalId":344882,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Criminal Law Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131739512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The success of one’s students within one’s own professional world seems proof that the pursuit of knowledge is a relay race in which the scholars of each generation pass the batons of the discipline to the next, with the promise that the strides of each will preserve the advances made by the strides of those who ran before. And so it is that I indulge a great deal of selfish pride in commenting upon the recent work of Professor Vera Bergelson, who, as a student of mine at the University of Pennsylvania Law School all too long ago, proved herself very adept at picking up and running with the batons she was handed by her admiring faculty members. The particularly slippery baton that Professor Bergelson so adeptly runs with in her provocative and insightful article, “Victims and Perpetrators: An Argument for Comparative Liability in Criminal Law,” is the chestnut puzzle concerning the criminal law’s refusal to recognize an explicit defense of “contributory responsibility,” as I shall call it, on the part of the victim. Consent is no defense to a crime, it is often said, nor is assumption of risk or contributory negligence. But are these mantras true? asks Professor Bergelson. And if they are true, why would this be? Can a refusal to take account of the victim’s own contributions to the harm for which the","PeriodicalId":344882,"journal":{"name":"Buffalo Criminal Law Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122706239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
