    Summary note
    "[This book focuses on] two topics: the intersection between freedom of expression and criminal law and the evolving nature of defamation law. The free speech papers examine a variety of important and interesting issues: advocacy of illegal action (from both U.S. and Hungarian perspectives); justifications for criminalizing sexual speech; character evidence; and violent videos and the protection of juveniles."-- Provided by publisher.
