Initially, juries were reluctant to convict these women of murder since it carried the death penalty. The current "infanticide" law was adopted in 1948 to impose uniformity on legal practice and to ensure a homicide conviction. Even then, prosecutors faced considerable difficulties, but now, amidst media pressure, and with public attitudes possibly hardening, there are calls for the repeal of the infanticide law and the adoption of a draconian framework to deal with these cases."--Amazon.comLaw and society series (Vancouver, B.C.)InfanticideCanadaInfanticideCanadaHistorySociological jurisprudenceInfanticideCanadaHistoireSociologie juridiqueInfanticideInfanticideHistory.Sociological jurisprudence.InfanticideHistoire.Sociologie juridique.345.71/02523Kramar Kirsten Johnson1965-1552935MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783745403321Unwilling mothers, unwanted babies3813094UNINA
