- This book was the output of research which began in 2005. The book developed a transparent interpretive methodology, which necessitated systematic analysis of extensive case-law in its entirety, integrating multiple theoretical perspectives and condensing the analysis into a concise guide for legal and non-legal audiences. The case-law analysis focused on a large body of primary sources consisting of all relevant judgments between 1959-2017 (n=1505). A database of judgments was created and systematically read and analysed. The book’s theoretical argument for a particular interpretation of ‘degrading treatment’ in law required extensive research in social philosophy, social psychology and social science.
