Dr James Manwaring

My research focuses on criminal law and theory.

I wrote my DPhil (PhD) on incapacity doctrines, such as infancy, insanity, and incapacity-related dimensions of other defences and offence elements. More recently I've written about various aspects of criminal law doctrine, including self-defence, homicide, and complicity.

Aside from criminal law, I also teach tort law on the Tripos, and have interests in legal and moral philosophy, and law reform.

Before taking up my Fellowship at Homerton College I was a Teaching Fellow at UCL, and before that a Stipendiary Lecturer at Hertford College, Oxford.
