Recenzje

Waltman's Pornography: The Politics of Legal Challenges is an ambitious, empirically informed, and jurisprudentially skilled argument for the regulation of (some) pornography...Waltman's discussion of the various unsuccessful attempts to regulate pornography in the United States, Canada, and Sweden is quite nuanced in recounting the jurisprudential reasons cited by the courts for each such failure.
