Jonathan Herring writes on criminal, family and medical law, as well as legal ethics. He researches how the law relates with the things that matter most to us. Our family, our friends, our bodies. His writing questions the assumption that we are capable, independent, self-sufficient, autonomous people who need legal rights to protect us from invasion from others. Instead, he suggests we are profoundly vulnerable and interdependent. He has written over 250 books and articles on a wide range of issues including caring; vulnerable adults; older people; children's rights; marriage; ownership of body parts; pregnancy; rape; and disability. He also has experience of working with the media, including broadcast work with BBC Radio 4 and 5.
