Decriminalizing Prostitution: Liberalization Or Dehumanization?, Jeanne Schroeder

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article explores the contentious debate over the decriminalization of prostitution, examining whether it represents liberalization or dehumanization. It highlights the complexities of the issue, emphasizing that decriminalization is not a straightforward solution but rather a deeply contested and multifaceted question.

Battered Women: A Perspective On Injustice, Michael Dowd Jan 1993

Battered Women: A Perspective On Injustice, Michael Dowd

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the historical and legal challenges faced by battered women, particularly in the context of self-defense claims. It traces the roots of spousal abuse to early social and religious norms that subjugated women, leading to a legacy of systemic injustice.
