     in his recent book attempts, gideon yaffe suggests that attempts should be criminalized because of a principle he dubs the “transfer principle.” this principle holds that if a particular form of conduct is legitimately criminalized, then the attempt to engage in that form of conduct is also legitimately criminalized. although yaffe provides a powerful defense of the transfer principle, in this paper i argue that yaffe’s argument for it ultimately does not succeed. in particular, i formulate two objections to yaffe’s argument for the transfer principle. first, i argue that a basic assumption about criminalization, on which yaffe’s argument crucially depends, is incomplete, and yaffe’s own attempt to supplement it undermines his argument for the transfer principle. second, i argue that yaffe’s argument does not properly account for the fact that those who merely attempt a crime and those who complete it might sometimes be responding to reasons in different ways. accordingly, i conclude that yaffe has not succeeded in establishing the truth of the transfer principle.
