title = "Criminalising forced marriage: Geetanjali Gangoli and Melanie McCarry analyse criminalisation as a strategy to combat forced marriage",
abstract = "The issue of forced marriage has recently become the focus of both national and international debate (Schmidt and Jakobsen, 2004; FCO and HO, 2005). Forced marriage is a human rights violation, and its impact has significant gendered consequences. In cases regarding minors, forced marriage also has to be considered as a child abuse issue (Gangoli et al., 2006). However, recent initiatives in the UK have been criticised for their emphasis on encouraging immigrants to adopt {\textquoteleft}British{\textquoteright} values and avoid marrying partners from their country of origin (Razack, 2004).",
