Truth And Consequences: The Force Of Blackmail's Central Case - Draft - 1/11/1993, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Its primary tool will be to define what I call the "central case" of the blackmail literature, and to supply the connecting links that will allow us to see how the various theories converge where central-case blackmail is involved. Among other things, I will show how the deontological and consequentialist (economic) approaches converge in condemning central-case blackmail, and I will defend the criminalization of such blackmail.
