Abstract
The author recognises the contemporary need for the reform of homicide offences and challenges the structure of homicide offences in the law that is offered by the prevailing orthodoxy. The author attempts to rationally create a structure of homicide offences that moves away from the existing imprecise and inelastic structure. The author argues for criminal law to embody a serious category called culpable homicide, taking a critical view of the dominance of subjectivism as a school of thought in English penal thought.
