Enough - The Violence Against Women and How to End It

THIS IS A BOOK THAT CALLS TIME ON THE ENDLESS TIDE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THE FAILURES OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM TO RESPOND. From barrister Harriet Johnson, Enough lays bare the appalling status quo of abuse against women in our society, offering an irrefutable case for why change is needed in policing and justice. Most vitally, it also gives a manifesto for how to get there. With expertise, clear-sightedness and appropriate fury, this book helps us see where women are suffering – from homicide to domestic abuse to sexual abuse and street harassment. It exposes the ways the criminal justice system lets women down – from officers failing to properly investigate, to a lack of consequences when police behaviour is unacceptable, backlogged courts and the realities of convincing a jury. Addressing misogyny is to everyone’s benefit, and the answer isn’t simple. Enough is the call to arms we can – and must – get behind.
