{"product_id":"rights-as-security-rhonda-powell-9780199589111","title":"Rights as Security: The Theoretical Basis of Security of Person","description":"The right to security of person is widely recognized but little understood. Courts, legislatures, and scholars disagree about how the right to security of person should be defined. This book investigates the meaning of the right to security of person through an analysis of its constituent parts. Applying an original conceptual analysis of 'security', the right to security of person imposes both positive and negative duties. Also, identifying the interests to be protected by the right requires a theory of personhood or wellbeing such as Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's 'capabilities approach'. It is accepted that any existing legal rights to security of person must be artificially delineated in order not to overstep the boundaries of other rights. In recognition of the naturally broad meaning of the right to security of person, it is proposed that human rights law as a whole should be seen as a mechanism to further security of person: rights as security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhonda Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199589119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199589111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Rhonda Powell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054722773247,"sku":"9780199589111","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df5f9f70-824a-4f2f-a9f9-096de95d9e93.jpg?v=1685031612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rights-as-security-rhonda-powell-9780199589111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
