Eve Was Framed: Women and British Justice

Product Information

This book is a little older, so more progress may have been made since its release, but the stereotypes still very much exist and it's important that people become/remain aware of them. Her resounding conclusion was we must demand fairness, and that different but equal treatment of men and women will lead to the same outcome, a fair one. As a survivor myself I found the sections about sexual violence particularly illuminating and infuriating. Using her own experience and expertise, Kennedy reflects on how women often fail to find justice or fair treatment when it comes to the criminal law in the UK. At the start, Kennedy warns that this book is not to be treated as an academic account but as a polemic, her own take on how our law fails women.

Eve Was Framed is an eye-opening analysis of the disadvantages that women face in the criminal justice system. Most of this book concerns how stereotypes about women operate in the law, particularly in criminal justice.

Meanwhile, battered women who finally snap and kill their tormentors are being prosecuted for murder, and mothers who miss a probation appointment because it was scheduled during the school run are being imprisoned.

This novel might be slightly out of date in its citing of laws passed ten years ago, especially when legal precedent is constantly changing, but generally, what was true then is still true now (unfortunately). Such brief basics will be helpful to a first-year law student since it helps you to approach law in a more rounded way. When you hear Women’s Health, is it only reproductive organs and, maybe, breast health, that come to mind? Before reading the book, I thought trials were fairly simple processes and that, most of the time, the judiciary are easily able to ascertain if someone is innocent or guilty.Too much estrogen can lead to high blood pressure, increased blood sugar, and increase risk of blood clots.
