Abstract
One central pillar of scholarship about criminal defences concerns their structure. Three categories of defence are commonly recognised in the academic literature, and to a degree by the courts: capacity defences, justifications, and excuses. This article considers how defences should be structured and the impact that such a structure has on the content of legally recognised defences such as diminished responsibility, necessity, coercion, and provocation.
