The Interaction Of Customary Law And Microfinance: Women's Entry Into The World Economy, Shana Hofstetter
The Interaction Of Customary Law And Microfinance: Women's Entry Into The World Economy, Shana Hofstetter
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
This note examines the complicated relationship between microfinance and customary law. Microfinance, the practice of giving small, collateral-free loans to the poorest members of society, has gained great popularity in the last thirty years. These loan programs specifically target women and use women's traditional emphasis on groups to ensure success. Customary law can hinder microfinance ventures because of the restrictions these laws place on women's roles and responsibilities. Case studies on the Dominican Republic, Morocco, and Bangladesh explore how individual customary laws can hinder microfinance programs and women's micro-businesses. This note also discusses how microfinance programs act as catalysts of …
Who Is To Shame? Narratives Of Neonaticide, Susan Ayres
Who Is To Shame? Narratives Of Neonaticide, Susan Ayres
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
In seventeenth-century England, single women who killed their newborns were believed to have acted to hide their shame. They were prosecuted under the 1624 Concealment Law and punished by death. This harsh response eventually evolved into a more humane and sympathetic one, as shown by the increasing number of acquittals in the late eighteenth century and by the sharp drop of prosecutions in the late nineteenth century. Then, in 1922, England passed the Infanticide Act, amended in 1938, which provided that a mother who killed her child would be prosecuted for manslaughter, not murder. Today, the great majority of women …

Depiction Of The Regulator-Regulated Entity Relationship In The Chemical Industry: Deterrence-Based Vs. Cooperative Enforcement, Robert L. Glicksman, Dietrich H. Earnhart
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
For years, scholars and environmental policymakers have conducted a spirited debate about the comparative merits of two different approaches to enforcement of the nation's environmental laws: the coercive (or deterrence-based) and cooperative approaches. Supporters of the coercive model regard the deterrence of violations as the fundamental purpose of enforcement. They regard the imposition of sanctions, which make it less costly for regulated entities to comply with their regulatory responsibilities and avoid enforcement than to fail to comply and run the risk of enforcement, as the most effective way for inducing regulated entities to comply with their regulatory obligations. Proponents of …

What Counts As Domestic Violence? A Conceptual Analysis, Michelle Madden Dempsey
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
This article analyzes the conceptual structure of domestic violence and critiques various influential accounts of domestic violence operating in the criminal justice system, legal and sociological academia, and the domestic violence advocacy community. Part I presents a preliminary philosophical analysis of domestic violence with the goal of furthering our understanding of the correct use of this concept. This analysis centers around three key elements of domestic violence: violence, domesticity, and structural inequality. Part II develops an explanatory model of domestic violence based upon these key elements. Part III examines and critiques four principal accounts of domestic violence, each of which …
