Reviews / Votes
"Judging Obscenity is a very interesting book that presents a much needed critical assessment of social science evidence in constitutional litigation and legislative-fact adjudication. Nowlin exhaustively documents the use of expert evidence in obscenity cases and mounts a persuasive argument against the abuse and misuse of such evidence." Yves-Marie Morissette, Faculty of Law, McGill University /// "A very impressive achievement. Nowlin's book will make an excellent contribution to the literature on obscenity law." Augustine Brannigan, Department of Sociology, University of CalgaryMore details
