Inducing Intimacy: Deception, Consent and the Law

  • The Signet Library Parliament Square Edinburgh, EH1 1RF Scotland (map)

Speaker: Dr. Chloe Kennedy

Based in part on research conducted at the Signet Library and based upon her new book, Dr. Chloe Kennedy considers the law's response to deceptively induced intimacy across both civil and criminal law over more than two centuries. Encompassing both criminal and civil law responses within a fresh model of socio-legal history, Dr. Kennedy takes a long-term historical view which has important implications for law's treatment of induced intimacy today.
