Fitting the MPC into a Reasons-Responsiveness Conception of Subjective Culpability

This Note compares the MPC’s mens rea regime with the “reasons-responsiveness” conception of culpability widespread among criminal law theorists. It argues that if the reasons-responsiveness account is correct, the MPC will often fail to track offenders’ relative culpability, resulting in disproportionate punishments both within and across grades of crimes.
