This volume is the first published product of a research project on Criminalization, funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (Grant No 128737). Three further collections of papers from the project's workshops and conference will be published in due course, along with three monographs by members of the project.

We are grateful to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for the grant that made this project possible, and to our own universities for the further material and administrative help that they providedthe University of Stirling and the Stirling Department of Philosophy, the University of Glasgow and the School of Law, the University of Warwick and the School of Law.

Above all, however, we are grateful to the authors who have contributed to this volume, to all those who took part in the workshops and meetings from which this volume has emerged, and in particular to the commentators on the drafts of the papers collected in this volumeKimberley Brownlee, Erik Claes, Rowan Cruft, Alon Harel, Tatjana Hrnle, Douglas Husak, Susan Mendus, and Andrew Williams. These meetings showed us how fruitful, and enjoyable, this kind of interdisciplinary work can be. We are also extremely grateful to Andrew Cornford for his assistance in preparing the final manuscript and to Christine Kelly for preparing the index.
