Public Perceptions of Sadomasochism and its Criminal Law Provision
09 January 2020
My research aims to investigate public perceptions surrounding sadomasochism and to what extent people agree/disagree with the current criminal law provisions. This piece of research is integral to my Dissertation which seeks to understand how views surrounding sadomasochism may have changed and what implications this may have on criminal law. I am doing this research as part of my Degree programme at Royal Holloway University of London, of which I am a third year student.
