Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Criminal law reform is often taken by theorists to be an abstract, even if normative, exercise in the analysis of doctrinal concepts. Such a picture of criminal law reform does not fit well with the task of the legislator who has to carry out such reform in a political context. How then should the legislator’s task in criminal law reform be understood? Can legal philosophy contribute to understanding that task? These questions are especially important in a political context of value pluralism and multiculturalism. This article urges that legal philosophy is relevant to criminal law reform seen from a legislative perspective. If a discourse of public reason is to be available in which legislators can conduct criminal law reform, philosophical reflection is needed to frame such a discourse and provide a principled foundation for public reason. The article aims to take some first steps in the direction of such principles.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
