Monaghan on Equality Law
The new edition of Monaghan on Equality Law is a comprehensive survey of UK equality law, EU and human rights law and some comparative law. Providing an extensive examination of the Equality Act 2010, it also offers guidance on the application of equality law to a wide range of specific areas.
Equality Law
This new book by a leading employment and human rights practitioner combines a comprehensive survey of UK equality law with an analytical critique of the existing legal framework and the concepts that underpin it. The text provides practical guidance on equality law as it applies to specific practice areas including employment, goods and services, housing, education, transport and public law. It is essential reading for practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of this fast evolving area.
Law, Rights, and Religion
This is a comprehensive study of the relationship between law and religion in English law. In an increasingly religiously and culturally diverse country, it offers a vital legal analysis of fundamental questions regarding individual and group rights, and how the political and legal systems regard and engage with such diversity.
Judicial appointments
In 2011 only 5.1% of judges were Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and just 22.3% were women. The Committee stresses that diversity incorporates a number of other elements including disability, sexual orientation, legal profession and social background and rejected any notion that those from under-represented groups are less worthy candidates or that a more diverse judiciary would undermine the quality of our judges. A number of recommendations are made to improve diversity in the judiciary, including: the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice should have a duty to encourage diversity; support of the application of section 159 of the Equalities Act; more opportunities for flexible work...
Cases that Changed Our Lives
Following the international success of Volume 1 in 2010, Volume 2 presents a brand new selection of cases that have changed our lives. This collection of essays examines key cases (both UK and international) that have changed or created the rules and procedures which govern our lives and which we abide by. It takes a retrospective look at the circumstances behind the results of these great cases, examining the facts and the lasting legacies, as well as revealing a human side to the events that is not always apparent from the law reports. The themes addressed by the book demonstrate the rule of law, showing that through something as abstract as judicial reasoning, we create a set of rules and procedures which govern our lives. In support of the rule of law and the causes championed by LexisNexis, a sum of GBP1 from every copy of the book sold will be donated to Stop the Traffik, a global movement of activists around the world who passionately give their time and energy to build resilient communities and prevent human trafficking.
The Pimping of Prostitution
This book examines one of the most contested issues facing feminists, human rights activists and governments around the globe – the international sex trade. For decades, the liberal left has been conflicted as to whether pro-prostitution activists or abolitionists hold the correct view, and debates are ongoing as to who holds the key to the solutions facing the women and girls involved. Over the course of two years, Bindel conducted 250 interviews in almost 40 countries, cities and states, traveling around Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and East and South Africa. Visiting legal brothels all around the world, Bindel got to know pimps, pornographers, survivors of the se...
Sexual Harassment in the UK Parliament
This book examines the phenomenon of sexual harassment in the UK Parliament and efforts to tackle it. The volume’s in-depth research unveils a political culture where sexual transgressions thrive. Its intersectional feminist perspective furthermore highlights multiple systems of gendered oppression perpetuating inequality. Britain’s experience is viewed against the global #MeToo movement and Hollywood’s Weinstein sex scandal. The book identifies ways to redress the status quo and challenges ahead, including a gender power gap, misuse of non-disclosure agreements to silence victims, and misogynistic organisational cultures.
Patterns of Exploitation
"With an estimated 164 million workers globally, migrant workers are an essential component of contemporary workplaces. Despite their number and indispensability in the global economy, these workers suffer workplace violations that range from underpayment of wages, to unsafe work conditions through to sexual assault and even industrial manslaughter. Patterns of Exploitation documents the bases for exploitation. It does this through a comparison of labor laws and practices in six labor law jurisdictions and four countries, over a twenty-year period: Australia, Canada (Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta), the United Kingdom (England) and the United States (California). Starting with a start...
Privatising Border Control
Policing and punishment, once regarded as central to the state's power and its monopoly on violence, are increasingly outsourced to private providers. This collection of essays explores the growing use of the private sector and private actors in border control, and its implications for our understanding of state sovereignty and citizenship.
