James Gacek is a doctoral candidate at Edinburgh Law School. He continues to publish in areas of incarceration, genocidal carcerality, critical issues in media, justice, and security studies, the exploitation of human-animal relations, and the broader politics of judicial reasoning.“This innovative and thought-provoking book provides rigorous academic scholarship that creatively combines law and legal studies. It offers doctrinal discussion of law that intersects with theoretical explorations of how judges read issues of sex and critical inquiry into whether the jurisprudence appropriately reads sex and sexuality in its contemporary contexts. The text uniquely broadens consideration how the work of the judiciary is exercised within and through law. It critically explores how law is engaged in creative exposition of judicial rhetoric and reasoning, rendering diverse sexual identities and practices more observable and governable within society.” - Dr. Rebecca Jaremko Bromwich, Carleton University Department of Law and Legal Studies // “This ambitious and timely volume sheds light on the developments across a whole range of gender and sexuality-related topics within criminal law. The authors' trans-substantive approach allows them to provide insights unavailable through individual treatment of particular problems. They make an important contribution to an under-theorized area of Canadian criminal law.” - Erin Sheley, Associate Professor, University of Oklahoma College of Law//“This ambitious and timely volume sheds light on the developments across a whole range of gender and sexuality-related topics within criminal law.
