Feminist Perspectives on Family Law (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Diduck, Alison; O'Donovan, Katherine

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Examining specific areas of family law from a feminist perspective, this book assesses the impact that feminism has had upon family law. It is deliberately broad in scope, as it takes the view that family law cannot be defined in a traditional way. In addition to issues of long-standing concern for feminists, it explores issues of current legal and political preoccupation such as civil partnerships, home-sharing, reproductive technologies and new initiatives in regulating family practices through criminal law, including domestic violence and youth justice.
