Recenzje

In The Criminalization of Violence Against Women: Comparative Perspectives, the contributors have produced a rich, challenging, and extremely timely intervention that wrestles with questions about the parameters, legitimacy, and value of criminalization as a response to gender-based violence. Confronting the risks, costs, and benefits of criminalization, the book does not shy from the scale of the challenge or complexity of the issues at stake, and reaches beyond to interrogate the potential for alternative framings to provide more holistic, sustainable, and transformative solutions.
