The book titled 'The Enforcement of Morals' authored by :

  • A.H.L.A. Hart
  • B.J.S. Mill
  • C.A.L. Goodhart
  • D.P. Devlin

Answer: D

The Enforcement of Morals was written by P. Devlin.

Lord Patrick Devlin delivered the lecture 'The Enforcement of Morals' in 1959, in response to the Wolfenden Report on homosexuality and prostitution, and published it with later essays under that title in 1965. He argued that society may use the criminal law to protect its shared morality, because that morality holds it together.

H.L.A. Hart replied in Law, Liberty and Morality (1963), drawing on J.S. Mill's harm principle in On Liberty. A.L. Goodhart wrote on precedent and the ratio decidendi.
