Provocation: the fall (and rise) of objectivity

Kevin Kerrigan(1)

This article reviews the recent turbulent history of the partial defence of provocation. It assesses the current state of the law, the continuing dissatisfaction among the judiciary and academic commentators, and goes on to consider the current proposals for reform from the Law Commission. In an attempt to retain the reader’s attention, it takes the form of a (wholly imagined)exchange between a professor and student.
