This dazzling, thought-provoking study covers issues such as the right to privacy and the increase in electronic surveillance; the questions raised by advances in genetics; the procedural issues of 'double jeopardy' and the proposed reduction of trial by jury. Kennedy examines the huge increase in the number of women in prison, the inequities of the welfare system, but she also probes into issues that involve our relationship with other states: asylum, immigrations and terrorism, daring to ask - is the climate of fear being deliberately used by the government to roll back our liberties?
