In his article author, Morse considers many of the leading explanations of the excuses he believes people often claim in an attempt to get out of trouble or liability. Morse argues that these excuses are misleading and are not suitable to justify self-defense. Criminal law excuses are unstable as they are too narrow and unresponsive to evolving biological and social scientific understandings of human behavior. Morse explains that this is why courts cannot yet claim a distinct defense or opposition to these syndromes and excuses taken on by the defendants. The author looks into excuse of self-defense
