  1. (1 other version)Criminal Proof: Fixed or Flexible?Lewis Ross - 2023 - Philosophical Quarterly (4):1-23.
    Should we use the same standard of proof to adjudicate guilt for murder and petty theft? Why not tailor the standard of proof to the crime? These relatively neglected questions cut to the heart of central issues in the philosophy of law. This paper scrutinises whether we ought to use the same standard for all criminal cases, in contrast with a flexible approach that uses different standards for different crimes.

    El objetivo del trabajo es debatir los argumentos de la obra de Liat Levanon (2022), Evidence, respect, and truth. La primera parte presenta estos argumentos con un grado considerable de detalle; en la segunda, se hace un balance de su contribución a la teoría general de la prueba jurídica actual. En el balance se identifican sus aspectos positivos y negativos. Entre los primeros destaca que tener en cuenta el modelo de Levanon permite trazar mejor la distinción entre concepciones (subjetivistas y (...)
