Criminal Legal Doctrine
First published in 1997, this volume examines questions of legal doctrine which have never been far from the study of crime. It has not always been able to keep the doctrinal aspects of law clearly in sight. There is always the pressure to turn to philosophy for the consideration of questions of moral and legal responsibility and to criminology and psychology for the analysis of action. The essays collected in this book turn again to questions of doctrine and consider the dogmatic order of law as the basis of the understanding of crime. It is the general argument of this book that without an understanding of the dogmatic order of the legal subject of crime, there will only ever be answers to...
Public Bodies/private States
This book is part of the 'Photography: Critical Views' series. The series sets out to cross disciplinary boundaries in order to situate photography in its intellectual context. 'Public Bodies/Private States' combines visual imagery from women artists and the work of leading women theorists in a multi-disciplinary examination of the body concerning the boundaries between the public and private, as well as issues of territory, placed in an historical and contemporary context. The book is structured around the four key themes affecting women now and in the past: health and reproduction; architecture and urban space; violence, marriage and the law; and religion. Each of these themes is investigated both visually and textually with the aim of expanding the boundaries of contemporary debates in these areas. This collaboration combines the visual areas of photography and mixed media with the academic disciplines of medicine, architecture, law, social science, and theology, in order to specifically examine the ways in which these institutions affect our understanding and experience of the world mediated through our bodies in both the public and private spheres.

Key findings: (i) it is unacceptable that, more than a year after the Government announced it was phasing out the National Policing Improvement Agency, it still has not announced any definite decisions about the future of the vast majority of the functions currently performed by the Agency - the phasing out of the Agency should be delayed until the end of 2012; (ii) after the Olympics, the Home Office should consider making counter-terrorism a separate command of the New National Crime Agency, rather than it being the responsibility of the Metropolitan Police; (iii) the Government must urgently...
Misjustice
Two women a week are killed by a spouse or partner. Every seven minutes a woman is raped. Now is the time for change. ‘Fascinating and chilling’ Caroline Criado Perez, bestselling author of Invisible Women Helena Kennedy, one of our most eminent lawyers and defenders of human rights, examines the pressing new evidence that women are being discriminated against when it comes to the law. From the shocking lack of female judges to the scandal of female prisons and the double discrimination experienced by BAME women, Kennedy shows with force and fury that change for women must start at the heart of what makes society just. ‘An unflinching look at women in the justice system... an important book because it challenges acquiescence to everyday sexism and inspires change’ The Times
