Self-Defense, Moral Acceptability, and CompensationMichael Louis CorradoUniversity of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill - School of Law October 19, 2009 American Criminal Law Review, Vol. 47, p. 91, 2010 Abstract: This paper is a response to Reid Fontaine's Attack on Self-Defense, published in ACLR. I argue against his hybrid theory of self-defense, and argue generally for a subjective view of self-defense. I also argue that what distinguishes the justification of actual self-defense from the justification of mistaken self-defense is - or, rather, should be - the requirement of compensation in the latter case.
