Reviews

Moral Rhetoric and the Criminalisation of Squatting is a comprehensive and wide-ranging, multidisciplinary examination of this important topic that sets the bar for all future work. Leading figures and emerging new voices develop a series of unique insights into the offence of squatting from the perspectives of the state, the squatter and the landowner in the UK and beyond. Anyone with an interest in this topic must engage with the contributions to this excellent collection. - Professor Thom Brooks, Durham University, UK This book is an absolute treasure for both teachers and students interested in the basic jurisprudence of where a tort ends and a crime begins and whether in the 21st century the law of tort has as much relevance today when the state can deal more effectively with a trespass than the civil courts have done. - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
