Book excerpt: Most people confronted with objectionable behaviour will mumble some version of the phrase "there ought to be a law". But if law is seen as a policy instrument, as one way in which government tackles public problems and establishes public norms, is it always the best instrument? This paper puts the legal instrument in context, and examines some core issues of instrument choice. It provides an inventory of possible instruments and their rationales as well as criteria by which those instruments can be viewed.
