Abstract
Little about strict liability has evoked much agreement among commentators except for their opposition to it. Most but not all philosophers of law regard strict liability in the criminal law as unjust. To be sure, the opposition of commentators is highly qualified. Legal philosophers are more tolerant of strict liability in tort law than in criminal law, less vehement when punishments are relatively lenient, and sometimes prepared to allow the exigencies of law enforcement to override considerations of justice. These concessions, however, are made in a general climate of hostility to strict liability.
