Can, and should, section 76(2)(b) (the impersonation provision) be read to include a different class of identity deceptions? How should the concept of personal identity be understood in this context? While the concept has had some airing in the courts, and the distinction between identity and attributes of the person softened, the law on rape still fails to give proper effect to identity deception and leaves many questions unanswered. This book offers a novel take on the problem of sexual deception. Through meticulous interrogation of the meaning and normative implications of the concept of personal identity, it challenges the law’s restrictive approach and argues that qualitative identity is, like numerical identity, normatively important. This book provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the philosophical, theoretical, and psychological experimental literature on personal identity, marshalling relevant insights to support a broader reading of the impersonation provision. The argumentative thrust of the book is an extended equivalence thesis, which links numerical with qualitative identity. In this task, it engages in capacious exploration of different kinds of impersonation, at each juncture leading the reader to a more permissive understanding. Guided by the principle of consistency, the central thesis is that certain deceptions about personal traits should be unlawful based on existing prohibitions with which there is equivalence. A central contribution of the book is the articulation of a theoretical framework to support a richer understanding of identity, giving due attention to its qualitative aspects. This new framework is applied at stage three of the equivalence thesis to explain the relationship between individual traits and identity change. By implication, a potentially wide scope of consent-vitiating deceptions is endorsed. This presents a challenge to those who would defend more stringent limits. The book thus invites further discussion on the implications of this approach for the law on rape and indicates areas for further research and attention. 001484074 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 15, 2023). 001484074 650_0 $$aSex crimes$$xLaw and legislation$$zGreat Britain.$$xSex differences$$0(DLC)sh 85033998 001484074 650_0 $$aFalse personation$$xLaw and legislation$$zGreat Britain.$$zUnited States$$0(DLC)sh2009124068 001484074 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484074 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031444744$$z9783031444746$$w(OCoLC)1394890340 001484074 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in law.$$x2192-8568 001484074 852__ $$bebk 001484074 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-44475-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001484074 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484074$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484074 980__ $$aBIB 001484074 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484074 982__ $$aEbook 001484074 983__ $$aOnline 001484074 994__ $$a92$$bISE
