What Is Due To Others: Speaking And Signifying Subject(S) Of Rape Law, Penelope Pether Dec 2008

What Is Due To Others: Speaking And Signifying Subject(S) Of Rape Law, Penelope Pether

Penelope J Pether

Australian journalist Paul Sheehan's representation of the alleged and convicted immigrant Muslim/Arab rapists he demonises in Girls Like You, like his representation of the rape survivors in that text, has much to tell us about the law's production of rape law's speaking and signifying subjects, "real rape" victims and survivors, false accusers and perpetrators. This article uses a variety of texts, including Girls Like You, recent Australian rape law jurisprudence and legislative reform, texts involving two controversial recent US rape cases — one from Maryland and one from Nebraska — and a recent UK study on attrition in rape prosecutions, …

Probation Sentencing Of Convicted Child Sex Offenders, Robert Marsh, Steven Patrick Dec 2008

Probation Sentencing Of Convicted Child Sex Offenders, Robert Marsh, Steven Patrick

Robert L. Marsh

This research examines the probation sentencing of convicted from data collected over an 8 year period. The research uses multiple regression and nominal log linear regression to examine length of probation and whether or not the convicted offender is actually sent to prison or sent to probation. While many independent variables appear to be related to probation sentencing and whether one is actually sent to prison or probation, they fall into three categories; characteristics of the victim, characteristics of the offender and characteristics of the crime.

Sexualbrottens sexualitet(er) - om den straffrättsliga konstruktionen av sexualitet

Under de senaste trettio åren har sexualbrottslagstiftningen varit föremål för omfattande kritik, särskilt utifrån feministiska argument. Dessa argument, bestående i att sexuellt våld betraktas som ett uttryck för bristande jämställdhet mellan könen, har tagits upp i flera statliga utredningar. I första hand har utformningen av våldtäktsparagrafen diskuterats och ifrågasatts. Dock har förekomsten av en särskild brottskategori benämnd sexualbrott inte utmanats nämnvärt. Genom att ta avstamp i den enkla frågan ”Vad är ett sexualbrott?” syftar mitt avhandlingsprojekt till att utforska den straffrättsliga konstruktionen av sexualitet.

Fokus för projektet är den straffrättsliga gränsdragningen …

Exceptional Justice: A Discourse Ethical Contribution To The Immigrant Question, David Ingram Dec 2008

Exceptional Justice: A Discourse Ethical Contribution To The Immigrant Question, David Ingram

David Ingram

I argue that the exception must be a legitimate possibility within law as a revolutionary project, in much the same way that civil disobedience is. In this sense, the exception is not outside law if by "law" we mean not positive law as defined by extant legal documents (statutes, legislative committee reports, written judgments, etc.) but law as a living tradition consisting of both abstract norms and a concrete historical understanding of them. So construed, the exception is what can be exemplary - a law unto itself that best interprets and creatively extends (and transcends) the law that already exists, …
