- Title
HUMAN DIGNITY AND THE DOCTRINE OF PROVOCATION: A NEW APPROACH.
- Authors
ROSENBERG, RONI
- Abstract
The article seeks to present an alternative rationale according to which the reduction in criminal responsibility is not the result of diminished guilt due to provocation or a justification for the act of killing but rather that the act of killing is less grave when there is provocation in the U.S. It t proposes a new rationale based on the protected values for the offense of murder, including the values of life and human dignity, and explores its practical jurisprudential implications.
