Benjamin Levin: Styles Make Fights, Styles Make Boards

In this episode, Benjamin Levin, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School, discusses his article "Mens Rea Reform and Its Discontents," which will be published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. Levin begins by explaining the concept of mens rea in the criminal law, and the landscape of modern mens rea reform more generally, including proposals that call for default mental state requirements, and proposals that require prosecutors establish that defendants knew or had reason to know they were breaking the law. While political fights over mens rea reform have often broken down along political lines, these disagreements illustrate broader and more intractable issues to consider when it comes to criminalization that Prof Levin discusses, including concepts of governing through crime, “leveling up” punishment, and carceral exceptionalism. Levin also recently co-authored a Slate article on the subject with Carissa Byrne Hessick. Levin is on Twitter at @hashtagblevin.This episode was hosted by Guy Hamilton-Smith, a legal fellow with the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. Hamilton-Smith is on Twitter at @G_Padraic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
