Fascinating read for those interested in questions of privacy and of the roles of the state, men, and women in the home Despite my not having gone to law school, I still found this to be a fascinating read. Suk examines the roles of the state and of gender in the home, and the evolution of those roles alongside the last few decades of legal reform in the arena of domestic violence. The book is particularly salient in the post-9/11 era, as it also focuses on privacy, and the unintended consequences this area of legal reform has had on privacy. I would highly recommend "At Home in the Law" for anyone who works in fields that deal with domestic violence, or anyone who is interested in the evolution of gender roles and privacy as they pertain to the home..
