Reviews
There are few authors with Weait's depth and breadth of scholarship who can pull such disparate theoretical strands together in such a skilful and readable way. This is an excellent and important synthesis of the current place of HIV in UK society, and our collective responses to risk. - HIV Medicine, July 2008 This is a fascinating book, which extends effortlessly across disciplinary boundaries to argue a controversial and, at first sight, very difficult case. - Mark Cowling, British Journal of Criminology, July 2008 The author has already established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on this issue and this book is a magnificent illustration of why his work in this field is so highly regarded...In this tour de force he presents the most attractive and powerful case against the criminalisation of the trasmission of HIV available. Read this book and you will never see criminal law in quite the same way again. - Jonathan Herring, The Howard Law Journal, Vol 48. No 5, December 2009 Intimacy and Responsibility makes a valuable contribution to sociolegal scholarship in general but will be of particular interest to those working on public health, the body, gender and sexuality. Weait is at his best when setting up his arguments and presenting evidence. -Joe Rollins, Law and Politics Book Review, July 2008
