Recenzje

'Overt, militant racism attracts headlines but much less thoughtful consideration of its control has been published than exists in respect of civil liability for discrimination. This book is a balanced and informed discussion, by an author with long direct experience, of the problems posed by the imposition of criminal penalties in this area.' Professor R.W. Rideout, formerly University College London, UK '...stimulates an interesting debate, based upon realistic perspective and possibilities.' The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
