How Language Works in Politics : The Impact of Vague Legislation on Policy Hardback
by Matthew (University of Oxford) Williams
Hardback
Description
Using analysis from machine readings of all legislation enacted between 1900 and 2015, this book discusses the social impact of increasingly elastic legislative language on the contemporary workings of the British constitution.
Crucially, it shows that vague legislation has a tremendous impact on policy delivery, disproportionately affecting the weakest, in areas including immigration, homelessness and anti-discrimination.
