Within Cambridge Core's Law: General Interest collection, The Language of Romance Crimes surveys how legal discourse encodes offenses that unfold in the context of intimate relationships. The work examines the vocabulary used to name and categorize acts such as deception, coercion, fraud, stalking, and manipulation within dating, marriage, and partnership settings, and it tracks how terms influence perceptions of culpability and harm. Across statutes, indictments, judicial opinions, and media reportage, the analysis highlights patterns in language that shape accountability, deterrence, and remedies across different jurisdictions. Approach and scope are descriptive and comparative. The text analyzes statutory and doctrinal language, case-law summaries, and argumentative strategies employed in courts, presenting how phrases about consent, deception, and intent function in a variety of factual scenarios. It considers the role of narrative framing in legal outcomes and the impact of social attitudes toward romance on legal definitions. The discussion remains neutral, focusing on linguistic phenomena rather than normative judgments about specific acts. Intended for students, scholars, and practitioners, the work serves as a reference on the intersection of language and criminal law in the context of romantic relationships. It offers terminology in use, clarifications of common ambiguities, and pointers to comparative perspectives, supporting analysis of how language can influence charging decisions, evidentiary proofs, and policy debates. The catalog-style presentation aims to provide a concise, non-technical overview suitable for library catalogs and introductory study.
