     gideon yaffe is to be commended for beginning his exhaustive treatment by asking a surprisingly difficult question: why punish attempts at all? he addresses this inquiry in the context of defending (what he calls) the transfer principle: “if a particular form of conduct is legitimately criminalized, then the attempt to engage in that form of conduct is also legitimately criminalized.” i begin by expressing a few reservations about the transfer principle itself. but my main point is that we are justified in punishing attempts only when and for a different reason than yaffe provides. i argue that attempts are legitimately punished only when they raise the risk that a harm will actually occur. to overcome the problems my explanation encounters with factually impossible attempts, i suggest an account of risk that relies on ordinary language and possible worlds.
