On Guilt, Responsibility, and Punishment
Selected essays originally published as a book in Danish in 1970. Three had been published before then in English, but the others are new. All deal with concepts common to law and morality. "They function in the same way in legal and moral discourse: guilt determines responsibility, and responsibility punishment.

The shift toward 'government by risk' and the fore-fronting of 'risk consciousness' has not had the same impact on men and women alike. Complex and multiple understandings of femininity and masculinity inform risk thinking, as well as institutional and individual responses to various risks.

It also identifies some of the new directions and challenges for research and theory that emerge out of thinking risk as a governmental technique, as a form of consciousness and action, and as a political issue, that shapes, and is shaped by, gender in contemporary society.
