"Renz's book is an important contribution in this moment for bringing us back to the legislation and how it practically impacts the people whom it was designed to help. Forme, this is first and foremostwhy this book is important. Nonetheless, it also makes important theoretical contributions, perhaps most persuasively in relation to legal consciousness but also to agency and emotion. Any scholarship engaging with these ideas will also find in Renz's book an important and stimulating contribution." Chris Ashford, Northumbria Law School, Northumbria University, UK.
