Harmful Traditional Practices: Prevention, Protection, and Policing de Gerry Campbell

Harmful Traditional Practices: Prevention, Protection, and Policing

Autor Gerry Campbell, Karl A. Roberts, Neelam Sarkaria
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2020
This book is about harmful traditional practices: damaging and often violent acts which include female genital mutilation, forced marriage, honour killings and abuse, breast ironing, witchcraft and faith-based abuse. Often targeting women and young girls, these practices are often justified on spurious religious or traditional grounds but are all forms of abuse. Roberts, Campbell and Sarkaria have backgrounds in psychology, policing and law and have spent many years working at the forefront of attempts to end these practices. Harmful Traditional Practices is therefore a uniquely pragmatic book which aims to inform readers about these acts while identifying the best approaches towards ending and prosecuting against them.
