’Outstanding’ THE SECRET BARRISTER ‘It’s brilliant, it’s
comprehensive, buy it’ EVENING STANDARD ‘A powerful,
illuminating, enraging and inspiring read’ JESS PHILLIPS MP
‘Precise, heartfelt and anti-pompous’ THE TIMES Why is our
criminal justice system so bad at protecting women from violence?
Reporting from the heart of the courtroom, this book sees barrister
Harriet Johnson dissect the problems in our policing, laws and
culture. How can we hold the police accountable, take stalking
seriously and make justice a reality for sexual assault survivors?
This is an unforgettable case for change and a clear plan of how we
can make it happen.
A clear and practical presentation of the workings of an
experimental nursery school. The author offers no hasty
generalizations; she sets down the record of her eight years'
experience, and indicates the conclusions which may be drawn from
the study of children's activities during the most significant
period of physical, mental and social development--from fourteen to
thirty-six months. She exlains how the nursery goes about its
attempt to scale civilization down to the child level in its
behavior demands and to open up wider opportunities for active
exploration that an adult world can afford. In discussing the
environment offered by the nursery school, she considers the
child's activities and materials, his relation to other children
and to adults, and his introduction to language and rhythm.

'Outstanding' THE SECRET BARRISTER 'It's brilliant, it's
comprehensive, buy it' EVENING STANDARD 'A powerful, illuminating,
enraging and inspiring read' JESS PHILLIPS MP 'Precise, heartfelt
and anti-pompous' THE TIMES This is a book that calls time on the
endless tide of violence against women and the failures of our
criminal justice system to respond. From barrister Harriet Johnson,
Enough lays bare the appalling status quo of abuse against women in
our society, offering an irrefutable case for why change is needed
in policing and justice. Most vitally, it also gives a manifesto
for how to get there. With expertise, clear-sightedness and
appropriate fury, this book helps us see where women are suffering
- from homicide to domestic abuse to street harassment. It exposes
the ways the criminal justice system lets women down - from
officers failing to properly investigate to a lack of consequences
when police behaviour is unacceptable, to backlogged courts and the
realities of convincing a jury. Addressing misogyny is to
everyone's benefit and the answers aren't simple. Enough is the
call to arms we can - and must - all get behind.
