The problem to define sexual deviance is one of the biggest diffusive problems in the literature that tries to classify it (Ward, Laws & Hudson, 2003). Different classification systems exist, but only two models will be reviewed. In the essay the Behavioral Thematic evaluation of Canter and the Massachusetts Treatment Center: Rape classification system revision 3 (MTC:R3) will be compared and contrasted as two models of sexual assault. Both models assume that sexual assault is rape that an adult man inflicts upon an
Tiffany Allen CJ 210: Criminal Investigation Professor Cindy Johnson March 3, 2013 In Today’s society there are many specific ethical considerations that need to be addressed when investigating a specific crime. In this report I will talk about Rape and Homicide. Rape is when the victim is forced to have sexual intercourse. A Homicide is a person who kills another human being. Other questions that I will also talk about are how to reduce ethical problems in an investigation, what prosecution problems could arise and what ethical issues are related to the prosecution.
Others will say that they can’t explain it, but they know it when they see it. Emilie Buchwald, the author of Transforming a Rape Culture describes rape culture as “a complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women.” The people of a rape culture assume that violence is a fact of life when in reality it is not, and is actually the values and attitudes of a society, which are quite possible to change. Rather than teaching that people shouldn’t rape, they try to teach what to do to make it less likely that a rapist will choose you. The Marshall University Women’s Center explains that “Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety.” America has objectified sex to the point where it’s more about reaching a goal of obtaining sex than it is about intimacy and emotions. According to Becky Lockwood, the associate director at a center for women, this causes people to see sex as a commodity, making them think it is okay to do whatever they deem necessary to acquire it, even if that means violence.
If you commit a terrible crime such as being a sexual predator/child molester or something of that nature the shame will be with you the rest of your life and it’s going to be hard overlooking it because of the laws we have placed. In jail the inmates will even look down on you and treat you like scum they will even threaten your life. The shame for somebody doesn’t stop after the crime has been forgotten about or once they are out of jail. They have to register themselves as a sexual offender you can’t just move and try to leave it behind you. With the internet we have websites that allow us to see if sex offenders live near us it will give you there exact address.
Unless the government is able to prove the existence of these elements, it can't obtain a conviction in a court of law. The due process model is a model of the criminal justice system that stresses that every criminal justice conclusion is built on scrupulous information. Due process stresses the adversarial process, the rights of defendant and the rights of the formal decision-making procedure. It is vital to realize that courts allow individuals to defend themselves based on entrapment, self-defense or insanity. These, however, must be proved appropriately to allow courts practice fairness in defenses.
preventative detention and continued detention where sex offenders under the "Serious Sex Offenders Act 2006 (NSW) could be held in custody after their sentence has been served - as well as 2 yrs monitoring of sex offenders under the Sex Offenders Registration Act -then I concluded with young offenders - how whilst the community does push for rehabilitation/welf Here is one of the most difficult places for law enforcement to balance the opposing goals of the "best interests of the community" vs. the "rights and freedoms of the individual." The community wants the police to PREVENT crime -- to stop criminals before they get a chance to do harm -- and not just wait around for a crime to take place and then try to solve it. (Even if they do solve it, it would still be better if it had never happened.) So inner-city cops "stop and frisk" bad-looking kids, suspicious characters, etc. 1) If the search of the suspects reveals nothing (no weapons, drugs, burglary tools, stolen goods, etc.
The purpose of today's talk is to start a debate about how we in society view the offence of rape and whether we bring our conscious or subconscious views and stereotypes to our consideration of it. Rape is a serious crime and one in which there have been a number of reports and recommendations over the years looking at how we improve the way in which these cases go through the Criminal Justice System. It is surprising when looking back that it was only in 1991 that the law was clarified to recognize rape could be committed within a marriage. Before then a husband could rape his wife with impunity. It is also not that long ago that we did not have rape specialists either investigating or prosecuting these cases and victim care was awful.
Holmes & Holmes (2009, p290) stated “To appraise a crime without some knowledge of the victim is certainly remiss.” The victim constitutes half of the crime therefore victimology should be heavily looked at in order to connect them to the offender (Douglas, Burgess, Burgess, & Ressler, 1992).Victimology is important to an investigation process in that, it is not just learning about the victim’s personal history and personality, but it also why the victim was chosen (Petherick, 2010). Holmes and Holmes (2009,p 291) created a list of elements which should be important to victim profiling it includes: "Physical traits, marital status, personal lifestyle, occupation, education, personal demographics, medical history, psychosexual history, court history, and last activities." A victim’s lifestyle, preferences, family, relationships, and routines, can give investigators clues about potential suspects who had access to the victim (Brown & Davenport, 2012). Other concepts that should be considered when victim profiling are the method of approach, method of attack and risk assessment (Turvey, 1999). Con, surprise, and blitz are three methods of approach that an offender will use to capture his victim.
Gender is now an established and central topic in criminology and studies of criminal justice (Heidensohn, forthcoming). his chapter relects this status by outlining the development of the feminist critique, the present state of the art in key ields of research and debate: women, girls and crime, history, police, and men. Later sections cover signiicant areas in gender and justice, particularly major shits in the treatment of women in the criminal justice system in the twenty-irst century. As will be apparent, continuity and change are central themes of our survey: thus some of the questions raised by the pioneer scholars in the foundational years, such as the gender gap, are still being vigorously debated today (see below and Heidensohn 2010a and Miller 2010). the early feminist critique of criminology One of the irst tasks in second-wave feminism from the 1960s onwards was to develop a comprehensive critique of the discipline.
They trust that regardless of the possibility that marital rape is remembered, it would turn out to be a simple restorative arrangement in the Penal Code. Indian women would scarcely set out to blame their husbands for rape and start prosecution to convict them. It is also believed that legitimizing the offense of marital rape may commensurate to testing the current social ethos. It may break the ideas of force, control and predominance and open an entire scope of issues experiencing issues and astounding ramifications. It has also been widely argued that proving marital rape in court would be almost impossible and criminalizing it would only add burden to the already overburdened legal system.
