‘I don’t think there’s many British African Caribbean men that talk positively about mental health services’
Detention under mental health law is based on professional assessments of risk but impacts on patients’ trust. Little attention has been paid by sociologists to the operation of risk, trust and racism during mental health detention processes. Our study addresses this gap through thirteen qualitative interviews with professionals, conducted in England in 2023 focusing on the mental health detention of British African Caribbean men: a group disprop…
Beyond intimate partner relationships
Increasing evidence documents domestic violence and abuse (DVA) and domestic homicide of adults killed by a relative in non-intimate partner relationships. Most literature focuses on intimate partner violence and homicide, yet non-intimate partner homicides form a substantial but neglected minority of domestic homicides. This article addresses this gap by presenting an analysis from 66 domestic homicide reviews (DHRs) in England and Wales where t…
The inhospitable court

A sexual assault complainant’s capacity to be believed in court, to share in the production of meaning…
The Case for the Federation of Law Societies Rejecting Trinity Western University's Proposed Law Degree Program

Trinity Western pratique la discrimination fondée sur l'orientation sexuelle tant dans sa politique d'embauche que dans sa politique d'admission. On a aussi constaté qu'elle entrave la liberté académique. Les établissements dont les politiques discriminatoires vont à l'encontre des valeurs …
Troubling Sex
When legal scholars or judges approach the subject of sexuality, they are often constrained by existing theoretical frameworks. For instance, queer theorists typically focus on sexual liberty but tend not to consider issues such as sexual violence. Feminist theories focus on violence but often don’t give recognition to the joy of sexuality. To assess the possibility of devising a legal theory of sexuality that can ensure equality without assimila…
