an egalitarian reconstruction of the objective standard
The 'reasonable person' is used to assess the acceptability of behaviour in many areas of the law. This notion has attracted a great deal of criticism as it presupposes uncontested notions of 'normal' behaviour. This book explores whether there are deeper foundations to these criticisms.
Introduction: 'Personal' problems: rethinking the reasonable person -- Living on the fault line: the reasonable person and the developmentally disabled -- 'Boys will be boys': the child defendant and the objective standard -- Fun with Dick and Jane -- Just the facts: common sense ideas of the normal and the reasonable person -- Ordinary prudence, equality, and the rule of law -- Are objective standards worth saving? Exploring the feminist debate -- Culpability and the objective standard: the sexual assault debate -- Moving towards a solution: an egalitarian objective standard.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-331) and index.
