This book considers the appropriate response of the criminal law with regard to women whose acts or omissions in pregnancy cause the death or injury of the child born alive. It compares recent developments in English law with those in America which has seen an enormous growth in litigation over the last two decades. The author examines the implications of the laws in both systems and also looks at the rights of the mother and child in relation to the obligations of the state to protect both of them.
