Description

Helena Kennedy challenges the record of modern governments over fundamental values of equality, fairness and respect for human dignity. She argues that in the last twenty years, civil liberties have been eroded, culminating in extraordinary legislation that undermines long-established freedoms. Kennedy questions whether these moves are a response to demands for law and order or if they represent a covert reframing of the relationship between citizens and the state. Her analysis is acute, questioning and humane, making her one of the most powerful voices in legal circles today. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the changing face of justice and its significance to us all.
