Yet these are the very people women are supposed to approach for help when faced with violence. And many feminists, hoping to use the criminal justice system to protect women, fight for stronger laws and longer sentences for those who harm them.Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? traces the history of British feminism's alliances and struggles with the law and its enforcers. Drawing on the legacy of Black British feminism, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known the truth: the police aren't feminist, and the law does not keep women safe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 224gGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Social Sciences, Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureItem Width: 15mmRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
