Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Criminal Law Opinions by Bennett Capers
How might seminal criminal law cases have come out differently had feminist insights been applied to the development of criminal law? This book answers that question by re-writing opinions that implicate critical dimensions of criminal law jurisprudence, from sexual assault law to provocation, cultural defences and the death penalty.
'This book is an ambitious project that absolutely succeeds… Highly recommended.' C. Shortell, Choice
' The book provides a real engagement with and focus on intersectional and postcolonial feminism and is noteworthy in this regard.' Anne Carline, Journal of Law and Society
'In this book, this broader historical, social, and legal context is well articulated in both the commentaries and the rewritten opinions, with the contributors making use of an array of data and materials that do the significant work of elucidating the material impact of law on women's lives.' Anna Carline, Journal of Law and Society
