Abstract
In this paper, I critique one aspect of Simester and von Hirsch's, Crimes, Harms, and Wrongs-their recognition of harm and offence principles, but failure to construct a paternalistic principle, despite their willingness to countenance some small measure of criminal paternalism. Construction of such a principle would have clarified the problems of as well as the limits to criminalising paternalism.
