31. Fair Opportunity and Responsibility
David O. Brink’s “Fair Opportunity and Responsibility” delves into the intricate intersection of moral psychology and criminal jurisprudence. The book explores the concept of responsibility and its connection with desert, culpability, excuse, blame, and punishment. Through the exploration of excuses, the author reveals that responsibility is inversely related to excuse, and that an agent is responsible for misconduct only if it is not excused.
“Fair Opportunity and Responsibility” proposes that responsibility lies in an agent having suitable cognitive and volitional capacities, also known as normative competence, and a fair opportunity to exercise these capacities free from undue interference. The book argues that our reactive attitudes and practices presuppose this fair opportunity conception of responsibility, leading to a predominantly retributive conception of blame and punishment that treats culpable wrongdoing as the desert basis of blame and punishment.
The author applies the fair opportunity framework to a variety of circumstances, including structural injustice, situational influences, insanity, psychopathy, immaturity, addiction, and crimes of passion, allowing readers to appreciate the need to take partial responsibility and excuse seriously in their practices of blame and punishment. With its compelling exploration of responsibility, blame, and punishment, “Fair Opportunity and Responsibility” is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of moral psychology and criminal justice.
