The former explains an agent’s reasons for having committed a pro tanto offence (i.e., actus reus + mens rea). The latter is a denial that the agent committed any pro tanto offence at all. In this piece, I build on Gur-Arye’s argument, suggesting that her claim about powers can be extended to all instances in which rights are displaced. I argue that in its expanded form, the practical significance of Gur-Arye’s claim goes well beyond what she identifies. It points to important and underappreciated points about the structure and classification of defensive claims in the criminal law, and helps identify errors in some arguments commonly made to support claims about disputed features of justifications. 2023-09-19T09:21:22Z 2023-09-19T09:21:22Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11572-023-09696-2 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9104 en application/pdf Springer
