Reviews
'This volume offers a range of sensitive debates on problems of sexual consent in a range of real-life contexts and through the lenses of different disciplinary approaches and emphases. Rigorously argued and careful to avoid platitudes, it will stimulate anyone exercised by these everyday realities - and who is not? - as well as provoking much-needed reflection.' Bob Brecher, University of Brighton, UK and Editor of Res Publica 'Consent is at the heart of sexual relationships and in this book Mark Cowling and Paul Reynolds present the most extensive, thorough and strongly-argued accounts of sexual consent to date...This timely, wide-ranging and deeply interesting collection of writings takes the debate on sexual consent a significant step forward.' Dr Helen Jones, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK 'Much of this book is directed at an unmistakably academic audience, but lawyers will find...insights to inform their arguments in sexual assault cases turning on the issues of consent...Policy-makers, in particular, should appreciate the various perspectives on sexual consent presented in Cowling and Reynolds' book as they attempt to strike the appropriate balance between protecting the disadvantaged and liberating them.' Scolag Legal Journal '...a useful collection for those interested in questions surrounding sexual consent...[that] bring[s] readers to new, useful places to begin thinking about these issues.'
