Stanley Cohen (1942-2013) has proven to be one of the most influential figures in the field of criminology and human rights within the last 40 years. His prolific work contributes not only to the study of crime, deviance and control but also to human rights. This volume brings together a broad selection of Cohen's published works which collectively testify to his lasting contribution to criminology and to the wide variety of themes with which Cohen was involved. Topics included in the collection are: reactions to deviance - including moral panics (from the late 1960s till the mid-1970s); punishment and social control (from the early 1970s till the late 1980s); and reactions to human rights violations - including denial (from the late 1980s onwards).

Tort is the law of civil wrongs. This means behaviour which the law regards as wrongful and which gives rise to a remedy of damages or other relief, such as an injunction. The most important tort is that of negligence. The tort of negligence protects those injured by a failure to take reasonable care by a person who owes them a duty of care. Other torts include nuisance, defamation, trespass to land, battery, assault, false imprisonment and misuse of private information. Giliker's Tort law textbook presents an accessible and current picture of the law of torts and is ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time. The text succinctly covers all the major concepts in the law of torts and clearly illustrates how they work in practice by reference to the major cases in this field and the main statutory provisions
