Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess the value of the ‘chivalry thesis’ in understanding gender differences in crime. When looking at official statistics it is clear to see that there is a difference in the amount and type of crime that is committed by the two sexes. The chivalry thesis is the idea that the cause for this difference is the experience of women within the criminal justice system (CJS). The thesis argues that women are treated more leniently by criminal justice agents such as the police , magistrates and judges because men are socialised to behave in a ‘chivalrous’ way towards women. There are several differences in the amount of crime that men and women do.
MeQuesha Thompson January 30, 2015 History 101 The Code of the Assura Writing Assignment The Code of the Assura is a reliable source for understanding the lives of women in c. 1075 BCE because it explains their protection, family life, and social status. The law code protected the women in times of rape; but in I.12, “if a wife of a man walking on a highway, and a man seize her, say ‘I will surely have intercourse with you,’ if she be not willing to defend herself, and he seized her by force and rape her, whether they catch him upon her or whether at the word of the woman whom he raped, the elders shall prosecute him, put him to death (Ancient History Sourcebook: The Code of the Assura, c. 1075 BCE).” This rights shows that even if the woman is lien, the man will be put to death by word of mouth; law code I.12 displays sympathy for women that were victim of rape. Family life was important and the law code
The obvious examples in the past were when police officers have a power to arrest with ‘sus’ laws, under the 1824 Vagrancy Act (s4 and s6). Many people saw and ethnic minorities felt the abuse of this practice. Police officer stop and search and arrest people based on ‘intent to commit an arrestable offence’ for people grouping in public area. Hunte (1966: 12) mentioned ‘nigger hunting’ activity by junior police officer. Due to this problem, Scarman Report suggested to reform ‘recruitment and training’ because of racism in young police officers.
An article called US law extends protection for abused immigrants says “VAWA leads to a green card either through the self petitioning process or through cancellation of removal in immigration court. Though VAWA stands for the “Violence Against Women Act”, the law benefits men and women. The abuse can be physical or emotional” which has a lot of importance for those people who are victims of domestic violence because it keeps them protected from being abused. There are some cases where women who are victims of domestic violence get benefits by the government by helping them to get a house on their own so that they won’t be victims again and even sometimes they legalize their status in the country. I think this is a really big step ahead when we talk about the problems some immigrants have to face because it may open a lot of door for them and they can make a better future for their
Obviously, his behaviour of “sexually charged looks and gestures” and “unnecessary touching” such as hugging is a sexual harassment action to women if the women were not willing to. And first, we should confirm this issue that Haddad really had done those things to female staffs and his actions corresponded to the reports from at least 10 women. Sexual harassment cases are hard to confirm because it rarely has witnesses, so a proper investigation should take place to the authenticity of Haddad’s behaviour, If it corresponds to the reports that he allegedly sexually harassed to the female staffs, he have to be terminated. And there are three “progressive discipline policy” that written warnings, suspensions, and determination, the reason I think he should be terminated , not written warnings or suspensions is that he has high level position in the company he number of victims is more than ten, it is a sexual harassment case that by senior management personnel to numbers of female staffs. If he does not be fired, and his behaviour would go beyond the scope of the company’s definition of sexual harassment, then many female staffs would be “legally” harassed.
If the only reason to pull someone over depends on his or her race, this causes a discriminatory impact. Police departments begun to review data on stops and change police officers behaviors, arguments and attitudes towards the leading of stereotype based discriminatory treatment. (Racial profiling, 2012) This researcher frowns much upon racial profiling but with surveys conducted every day on who is likely to commit a crime, and what age, and what sex, and what minority group then people tend to lean towards these surveys proving that race is a huge part of crime involvement. In conclusion, criminal profiling works as an investigative tool to help solve crimes. Criminal profiling has come a long way and still needs a lot of improvement.
According to Roslyn Muraskin and Albert R. Roberts (2009 ), assessments of statuses of women and minorities in police work shows that there are obstacles in official and informal structures of police work organizations related to gender and race. Regardless of assessment studies, which show that women are effective patrol officers, organizational principles of law enforcement has repelled the combination of women into patrol officers for more than 20 years. There are three kinds of organizational resistance to slowing down staffing and preservation of female patrol officers. The first organizational resistance is called Technical Resistance. Technical Resistance comprises of failure to adjust police uniforms, gear, and tools sufficiently for women, and constant issues on physical testing, and firearms during their drills, and preperations.
Despite men being discouraged from a female-dominated profession, females have been progressively moving into male-dominated professions such as dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine (Kada, 2010). Why is it acceptable for women to work in a male-dominated field, but viewed as unacceptable for men to work in a female-dominated field? The issue surrounding gender bias in the nursing profession has been acknowledged by nurse scholars in recognition that efforts towards implementing strategies are needed to work towards increasing the male recruitment (Kada, 2010). The implementation of strategies towards gender equality in the workplace will assist in
However, there’s a few things wrong with the government’s approach. According to Louise Gerdes a published author with multiple articles in Opposing Viewpoints, there are many cases where "… sex work is often the only viable alternative for women in communities coping with poverty, unemployment … in… complete absence of social welfare programs" (Gerdes 1). If the government wants to eliminate human trafficking especially within the sex industry, then it must focus on those people as well and realize that different approaches must be used for each, “instead [of] lumping together trafficking, prostitution and commercial sex as offenses against the "moral law that stands above nations." (Gerdes 1). As stated by Thomas Melito the director of the International Affairs and Trade, the government uses estimates for data reports on a yearly scale.
9 April 2012 The article “Selling Safe Sex in Public Schools” by Michelle Bryant is about a young teenage girl by the name of Shelby Knox who fought to get comprehensive sex education in public schools. Shelby was interviewed by the author Michelle Bryant. Knox mentioned during her interview that safe sex education should be taught rather than teaching the students about abstinence only. Even though, Shelby has pledged abstinence until marriage, she is also aware of the consequences of having unprotected sex. The young girl went on to explain how practicing safe sex will help lower the rate of STDs and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
