Effective Aggressiveness And Inconsistencies In The Bijuridical Treatment Of Aggressive Behaviour: Mixed Martial Arts, Bullying, And Sociolegal Quandaries, Sara Gwendolyn Ross Jan 2015

Effective Aggressiveness And Inconsistencies In The Bijuridical Treatment Of Aggressive Behaviour: Mixed Martial Arts, Bullying, And Sociolegal Quandaries, Sara Gwendolyn Ross

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

This paper seeks to address effective aggressiveness and the treatment of aggressive behaviour in the context of MMA in comparison to the balance of the formal Canadian legal landscape.

Tormented: Antigay Bullying In Schools, Ari Ezra Waldman

Articles & Chapters

This Article begins a theoretical and empirical discussion on bullying and cyberharassment of all students, but particularly gay and lesbian youth. Despite the recent spate of bullying-related suicides, I argue that antibullying proposals that include harsh criminal punishments for egregious cases of bullying and cyberbullying in schools lack validity as a matter of legal theory and practice. In fact, it is what makes criminalization so initially attractive — that is, the public’s emotional and retributive need for punishments equal to bullying tragedies — that ultimately leaves the proposal devoid of reason. Criminalization proposals only satisfy retributive aims and are unlikely …
