It brings together leading figures in the field of philosophy, psychology, and law to elucidate a multitude of facets of this important topic from a variety of different theoretical and disciplinary approaches. It provides reflections on conceptual foundations as well as a wealth of empirical data and thus qualifies as a valuable resource for students and researchers alike.
