I argue that riskier killings of innocent people are, other things equal, objectively worse than less risky killings. I ground these views in considerations of disrespect and security. Killing someone more riskily shows greater disrespect for him by more grievously undervaluing his standing and interests, and more seriously undermines his security by exposing a disposition to harm him across all counterfactual scenarios in which the probability of killing an innocent person is that high or less. I argue that the salient probabilities are the agent’s sincere, sane, subjective probabilities, and that this thesis is relevant whether your risk-taking pertains to the probability of killing a person or to the probability that the person you kill is not liable to be killed. I then defend the view’s relevance to intentional killing; show how it differs from an account of blameworthiness; and explain its significance for all-things-considered justification and justification under uncertainty.

危险的杀戮

我认为，在其他条件相同的情况下，对无辜者进行更高风险的杀戮在客观上比风险较低的杀戮更糟糕。我基于不尊重和安全的考虑来建立这些观点。通过更严重地低估他的地位和利益，更危险地杀死一个人表明对他更大的不尊重，并且通过在所有反事实情况下暴露出伤害他的倾向来更严重地破坏他的安全，在这些反事实场景中，杀死一个无辜者的可能性是那么高或那么低。我认为显着概率是代理人的真诚、理智、主观的概率，无论你的冒险行为是与杀死一个人的概率有关还是与你杀死的人不会被杀死的概率有关，这个论点都是相关的。 . 然后我捍卫该观点与故意杀人的相关性；说明它与应受指责的描述有何不同；并解释其对万有考虑的论证和不确定性下的论证的意义。
