Description

Challenging Legal Core Values is available open access digitally under the CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

This book presents the first ethnographic study into a new consent-based rape law in Sweden and illustrates how the implementation of this legislation challenges outdated legal frameworks, requiring a shift in legal practice.

Focusing on the Swedish context, it provides insights that are globally applicable, offering valuable lessons for other countries where consent-based rape laws are enforced. By examining the limitations of the conventional legal enactment of autonomy, rationality, and objectivity, the authors advocate for an evolved approach to ensure fairness and effectiveness. Integrating feminist legal theory with the sociology of emotions, the book reveals how emotional and contextual factors shape legal reasoning.

Aiming to make legal processes for sexual violence more transparent, predictable, and democratic worldwide, this work is an urgent call for enhanced professional training in emotional reflexivity and empathy.
