Criminal Law: Text, Cases, and Materials (10th edn)

The effective two-part structure of each chapter in the book - the first part explaining the law as it is, the second examining the theoretical aspects of the law - ensures that readers not only gain a secure understanding of the law itself but also acquire a fundamental appreciation of the surrounding philosophical and ethical debates. Important theoretical material is made accessible to students through a particularly engaging writing style. The author's clarity of expression brings the subject to life and places the law in context. Law and Vulnerability Vulnerable Adults and the Law explores the nature of human vulnerability and its relevance to the law. In Vulnerability, Childhood and the Law I have explored the law's conception of childhood vulneariblity. My most recent book, Law and the Relational Self, explores how the law could be reshaped to focus on relationships rather than individual rights. Care Law My book, Caring and the Law, explores the law’s treatment of caring and how adopting an ethic of care could transform the law. I focus on how the law interacts with the important things in life: not money, companies or insurance; but love, friendship and intimacy. In my work I seek to develop ways the law can recognise and value the goods in activities such as carework and sex, while protecting people from the harms that so often result. I draw particularly on feminist ethic of care and relational theory in developing my thinking.
