Dr Erika Rackley discusses judicial diversity on Woman's Hour

(17 May 2011)

Dr Erika Rackley joined Jane Garvey and Her Honour Judge Isobel Plumstead to discuss whether does gender really affect the decision-making of our judges and justice in the UK on the BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour. Drawing on the research in her forthcoming book on diversity in the judiciary, Erika argues that targets should be set for increasing the representation of women judges and that gender, as with other factors such as ethnicity, background, religion and age, does make a difference.
