Conclusion
Alexander Sarch is a Reader (Associate Professor) and Interim Head of School at the University of Surrey, School of Law.
"This is an excellent book. It's clear and well-argued, and any
philosopher working on wilful ignorance and other culpability
imputation principles is going to have to engage with it." --
Alexander Greenberg, Department of Philosophy, University College
London, Journal of Moral Philosophy
"The paucity of books on legal fiction is in part due to the
density of the concept, but Sarch flushes out some of that density
through deliberative and clear prose. An important book in the
field, Criminally Ignorant is best suited to legal scholars. ...
Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty."
-- A. R. S. Lorenz, Choice
