While women are less likely to commit violent crime, maternal infant homicide is an enduring form of offending that needs to be understood in a wider social context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eCriminal Justice Responses to Maternal Filicide\u003c\/em\u003e, Milne provides a comprehensive analysis of conviction outcomes through court transcripts of 15 criminal cases in England and Wales during 2010 to 2019. Drawing on feminist theories of responsibilisation and 'gendered harm', she critically reflects on the gendered nature of criminal justice's responses to suspected infanticide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis contemporary study makes a novel contribution to the fields of law, criminology and gender studies, arguing that through its inability to recognise the vulnerable position of accused women, and respond accordingly, the application of law reflects wider social judgments of pregnant women and mothers who challenge or fail to fulfil ideals of motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Milne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839096233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839096235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Emma Milne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45481838510335,"sku":"9781839096235","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e76f4e8-75d8-48dd-8692-64458e7f78e1.jpg?v=1715987836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/criminal-justice-responses-to-maternal-emma-milne-9781839096235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
