The Subjects and Subjectivities of International Criminal Law
A Critical Introduction
Emily Haslam
This book provides a critical introduction to the core elements of international criminal law. It does so by provoking thought on what international criminal law is by contrasting the practice of state-based actors and institutions such as the International Criminal Court with practices associated with non-state actors.
International criminal law is now established as an essential legal and institutional response to atrocity. However, it faces a series of political and practical challenges. This book encourages reflection on its multiple meanings and usages in order to provoke consideration of what it means, and might mean, to deploy international criminal law today.

The Governance of Autistic Adult Defendants in the English Criminal Justice System
Marie Tidball
This book considers the governance of defendants and offenders with autism in the UK courts.
Drawing on a rigorously-researched case study of adult defendants with autism, the book brings together legal and policy literature, criminological and criminal justice theory with disability studies to provide insight into the ‘dividing practices’ that affect the governance of disabled defendants’ conduct.
Using interviews with elites and practitioners, and court observation of 8 adult defendants with autism, the book investigates why the status of defendants with autism as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 has been overlooked in criminal justice policy and criminal court decision-making.
Marie Tidball is Founding Director and Coordinator of the Oxford University Disability Law and Policy Project, UK. She is also Research Associate at Wadham College and the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, UK.
