This important new work examines fundamental, but hitherto neglected, issues of national criminal law. Where and to whom does that law apply? When can domestic law apply to conduct that takes place abroad? The author examines the territorial and extraterritorial application of the criminal law, identifying defects, lacunae, and historical accidents, and suggests possible reforms.
