Rezensionen

'Femicide, Criminology and the Law captures the distinctive nature of femicide and lays out its components with sophistication critical to comprehending its exceptionality. I believe the authors' interdisciplinary methods for effectively addressing femicide have significant potential for global applicability, and I strongly recommend their book.'
