In recent decades, national legislation in many European states has especially focused on vulnerable groups with the aim of securing their enhanced protection and social inclusion. This trend is also noticeable in North-Eastern Europe, where the legal frameworks are constantly being revised to address the needs of vulnerable parts of society, including women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and minorities, as well as prisoners and victims of crime. But despite these positive changes, many challenges persist.

The Insecurity State Vulnerable Autonomy and the Right to Security in the Criminal Law


Free Download Peter Ramsay, "The Insecurity State: Vulnerable Autonomy and the Right to Security in the Criminal Law "
English | ISBN: 0199581061 | 2012 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The Insecurity State is a book about the recent emergence of a ‘right to security’ in the UK’s criminal law. The Insecurity State sets out from a detailed analysis of the law of the Anti-Social Behavior Order and of the Coalition government’s proposed replacement for it. It shows that the liabilities contained in both seek to protect a ‘freedom from fear’ and that this ‘right to security’ explains a lot of other recently enacted criminal offences. This book identifies the normative source of this right to security in the idea of vulnerable autonomy. It demonstrates that the vulnerability of autonomy is an axiomatic assumption of political theories that have enjoyed a preponderant influence right across the political mainstream. It considers the influence of these normative commitments on the policy of both the New Labour and the Coalition governments.
