{"product_id":"9781801179317","title":"Rough Sex' and the Criminal Law : Global Perspectives by Hannah Bows","description":"`Rough sex' has been at the forefront of criminal law in recent years following several high-profile murders of women killed during alleged consensual sex `gone wrong', leading to widespread calls for reform to prevent the use of what has been termed the `rough sex defence.' Situated in a global context in which violence against women is one of the leading preventable contributors to death and illness for women aged 18-44 worldwide, this timely collection examines the rough sex defence and responds to some of the wider debates around sex and the law.   Drawing on a range of empirical and theoretical standpoints, chapters delve into a range of topics including the female experience of `unwanted' slapping, choking and spitting during sex, the BDSM community, the impacts of pornography, the normalization and sexualization of violence against women, early depictions of BDSM involving the eroticization of non-consensual relations, problematic perceptions of BDSM as inherently violent, and more.   Bows and Herring expertly collate a wide-reaching mix of perspectives to contribute to a powerful feminist investigation of this critical issue. It is a compelling read for scholars interested in the intersection of sex, the law, and the criminal justice system.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307327992181,"sku":"9781801179317","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781801179317.jpg?v=1762803576","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781801179317","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
