Wrongs and Crimes is up to the extraordinarily high philosophical standards that Victor Tadros has set throughout his career. ... Engaging with Tadros's work has been an unbelievably effective means to sharpen, refine, and improve my own thought. I am confident it will prove equally beneficial for any philosopher of criminal law.
