Occasionally Jane Monckton-Smith's writing appears to lose a little direction and clarity; the subject matter however, clearly speaks for itself! Professor Jane Monkton Smith isnt simply an academic it's very clear that she has a deep understanding of the system and its flaws.

I was intrigued to understand and read more about this from a level-headed, non-dramatised perspective. Using this the author debunks the myths of 'crimes of passion' and also looks at how the victim in these cases is often unheard and somehow deserved their treatment.
