Summary
This chapter makes the methodological case for my study of criminal responsibility. It proceeds from the conviction that space and time are crucial to a deep understanding of criminal responsibility principles and practices. This chapter introduces the socio-historical methodological approach I adopt in this book and accounts for my timeframe, the spatial and temporal scope of my study. As I discuss, my focus is on the development of criminal responsibility over the twentieth century in the context of Australian criminal laws, a delimited frame centred on a new set of jurisdictions which enables me to develop a located or grounded analysis of criminal responsibility.
