| Summary: | In the seventh and final chapter of his «The Enforcement of Morals», P. Devlin
elaborates on a several of arguments for his polemic with H. L. A. Hart on issues
of the relationship between law and morals. Based on the recommendations of the
Wolfenden Committee which proposed a radical reform of English criminal law in
the direction of decriminalizing a few of criminally punishable offences with immoral
content, Devlin notes their extreme contradiction in terms of protecting the values
of public morals. The chapter also criticizes the key arguments of J. S. Mill’s doctrine
of the balance of liberty and state coercion |
