The Handbook of Women, Psychology, and the Law Hardcover - 2005
by Andrea Barnes (Editor)
First line
The Psychology of Sex Differences by Maccoby and Jacklin (1974) is generally viewed as the first major contemporary review of the topic, but the study of sex differences in American psychology is as old as the discipline itself.
From the rear cover
The Handbook of Women, Psychology, and the Law is a groundbreaking book that presents legal and psychological perspectives on how society has responded to the most vital (and often controversial) contemporary women's issues. The Handbook covers such important topics as abortion, rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, employment discrimination, divorce, poverty, welfare, and mental health. Written by experts in the fields of jurisprudence, clinical psychology, feminist psychology, ethics, and public policy, this essential volume shows how crucial social issues have effected civil and criminal law. This comprehensive resource
