A proposal to incorporate the concept of structural injustice in the standard toolbox of the legal reformer.
Structural Injustice and the Law presents theoretical approaches and case studies demonstrating how the concept of structural injustice can aid legal analysis, and how legal reform can reduce, or even eliminate, some forms of structural injustice. The interdisciplinary topics discussed here in the book include domination, equality, human rights law, legal status, labor law, criminal justice, domestic homicide reviews, homelessness, regulatory public bodies, and the films of Ken Loach. Drawn together, these subjects build an invaluable resource for legal theorists exploring how to use the concept of structural injustice and political philosophers looking for nuanced accounts of the law's role both in creating and mitigating structural injustice.Author Biography
