- Action and crime: a fine-grained approach.
A fine-grained approach to the individuation of act-tokens is better than the coarse-grained account given by Michael S. Moore in 'Act and Crime: The Philosophy of Action and Its Implications for Criminal Law.' The coarse-grained view treats acts that have different properties as identical, thus violating the principle of the indiscernibility of identicals. Furthermore, the fine-grained theory better accounts for the way offenses are referred to in double jeopardy cases in criminal law.

- Drunks claim double jeopardy.
Lawyers have begun raising claims of double jeopardy in drunk driving cases. The double jeopardy defense is based on the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits individuals from being punished twice for the same crime. Lawyers claim that drunk drivers are being punished twice by first having their license taken away at the scene, followed by the filing of criminal charges against them. However, a number of high and lower courts have ruled against the double jeopardy defense.
