... Law commission recognized the following arguments against duress as a general defence:
· Doing wrong can never be justified. ... Criminal law does not take motive for the purposes of threats.
· Criminal law itself is a system of threats (if you commit a crime you will be punished), that structure would be weakened if other system of threats were permitted to play a part. ...
Despite recognizing these points the law commission didn’t recommend the defence should be abolished.
