Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social rights for women that are equal to those of men.[1][2] This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. Feminists typically advocate or support the rights and equality of women.
Postmodern feminism refers to the feminist theory system that is inclusive of postmodern ideals
and post-structuralism theory. In this regard, it is believed that postmodern feminism goes past
modernist polarity of open-minded and far-reaching feminism. Various forms of entertainment
media have been out to use by postmodern feminists for purposes of furthering their ideologies.
The effect of this is influence of feminist studies that intersect sexuality, race, gender and race
issues. Film and TV are among the media widely used for purposes of furthering intersecting
roles.

A8 Aspects of Cultural Victimology / Aspecten van culturele victimologieVSE 2016
(Antony Pemberton, Intervict) - Victimologie heeft een opmerkelijke groei doorgemaakt in de afgelopen decennia. Slachtoffers zijn niet langer de 'vergeten groep' van het strafrecht. Echter, de opkomst van de victimologie is in twee opzichten eenzijdig geweest. Slachtoffers van bepaalde vormen van crimineel gedrag (huiselijk en seksueel geweld bijvoorbeeld) hebben de meeste academische en politieke belangstelling gekregen en het onderzoek naar slachtofferschap is voornamelijk geconcentreerd in de Angelsaksische wereld en enkele landen die cultureel en politiek in veel opzichten vergelijkbaar zijn. De culturele victimologie wil over grenzen heen kijken en zich richten op wat ontbreekt in de huidige aanpak van wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
C8 Narrative victimology. A cultural understanding of victim experienceVSE 2016
(Irma Cleven & Pauline Aarten from Intervict)
Cultural victimology also recognizes key phenomena related to culture - for instance the understanding of history, art and mass-media - as emerging as important sites for victimological research (Pemberton, Aarten, Mulder, 2015). A particularly important site for victimological research concerns narratives. This narrative victimology draws upon the increasing understanding of the importance of narrative to psychological and sociological processes, while outlining the particular importance of story-telling to victims coping, sense- and meaning making processes.
Two large Intervict-projects have sought to understanding victims experiences, and in particular their experiences with justice through narrative. The first concentrates on the experiences of victims of relatively severe crime in the Netherlands. In Stories of justice and injustice, participants were invited to consider their victimisation experience and the ensuing justice process against the backdrop of their life stories. To what extent should we understand the criminal justice process as part of this unfolding story rather than as a relatively separate reaction to victimization? Should we understand victim participation in the process as a means to achieve a specific aim or as an attempt to connect victims experience with the justice process? How do victims come to terms with the narrative rupture in their lives? The second considers the experience of victims of large scale conflict with reparations programmes, again with the inclusion of their life story as well as the collective historical narrative. How do victims understand the comparison between their own story of victimization and the narrative that surrounds them? To what extent to stories of victimisaiton – so called chosen trauma’s from the past shape current day experience and how do they figure in individual victim’s stories? Participants in the workshop will also be asked to consider narratives of victimization that form part of their own cultural heritage, as well as the manner in which they are relevant today.

Women, Crime, and Justice:
Balancing the Scales
Chapter 3: Women convicted of crime and their punishments
Purpose of Chapter 3
• Explore the purposes of sanctions for men and women:
• Differences in sentencing for women
• Intersection of race and sexual orientation in criminal sentencing.
• Historical overview of corrections for women offenders:
• Current statistics of women who are incarcerated
• Explore the life of incarcerated women, including those on death row.
• Discuss gender-responsive programming needs for incarcerated women.
• Women serving sentences in the community:
• Conflicts experienced when trying to successfully reenter society.
• Review legal issues specific to women:
• Struggles to reunite with their children
• Restorative justice practices.
• Correctional programming for women.
Women in Institutional Custody:
History of Corrections for Women Offenders
• Prior to the mid-1800s, the use of prisons and jails in England and the United States for sentencing women was
rare, but increased after the mid-1800s.
• During this time period, women were severely neglected and frequently abused, both physically and sexually,
and it was not uncommon for women to become pregnant while incarcerated.
• 1825: Elizabeth Fry wrote about the plight of incarcerated women and inspired reform in the United States and
England.
• Reformatory movement.
• Breakthroughs for incarcerated women in the United States:
• 1828: A separate building for women is erected at the Sing Sing prison in New York.
• 1873: The Indiana Women’s Prison is the first female-only institution.
• Over the next 100 years, prisons opened for women develop into two distinct categories:
• Reformatory: Held women, predominately Caucasian, who had committed public order offenses
• Custodial: Held women, predominately African-American, who had committed felony violent and property
crimes.
Bureau of Justice:
Statistics on Incarcerated Women
• There are currently over 2 million incarcerated in jails and prisons and approximately 1.6 million individuals
incarcerated in state and federal prisons alone.
• Both male and female offenders are more likely to be incarcerated between the ages of 25 and 34.
• Males: A higher percentage of African-American and Hispanic-American inmates than Caucasian inmates
• Females: A higher percentage of Hispanic-American and Caucasian inmates than African-American inmates.
• Females in state prisons are more likely to be incarcerated for nonviolent offenses (e.g., property crimes or
drug offenses).
• In the federal system, males and females are more likely to be incarcerated for drug offenses as well as weapons
and immigration offenses.
• Incarcerated persons have approximately 1.7 million minor children representing about 2.3% of the total US
population.
• 147,000 minor children belong to incarcerated mothers.
• Since 1991, the number of children under age 18 with a mother in prison has more than doubled.

Rape Victims Are A Class Of Persons Often Defined By Gender Medical ...MedicalWhistleblower
Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Only one in 50 women who have been raped reports the crime to the police.
Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women. Data on male victimization do not show that males experience comparable victimizations and injury levels, do not account for women who act in self defense, and do not measure financial control, intimidation, and isolation used by perpetrators of domestic violence against women.
The gender issue is foremost in sexual assault issues, and is usually background in general victimization. The unique cultural bias and shaming that accompanies rape cases needs its own focused opposition. The history of rape law is a history of the law used as a tool to protect rapists, rather than the raped. The anti-rape movement confronts, as it must, the cultural myths that uniquely exist in the context of rape. Manipulation of these myths, along with humiliation and victim blaming, are typical informal defenses to rape charges. Blaming victims in rape cases may be an effective means to secure acquittal. In contrast, blaming a robbery victim is typically ineffective because robbery is unaccompanied by the same pernicious cultural myths. The nature of stigma and abuse in rape cases is profound and unique, a criminal process that mistreats and excludes other types of victims also inflicts secondary victimization.
In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape). A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. In 2002, one in every eight rape victims were male. 93% of juvenile sexual assault victims knew their attacker; 34.2% were family members and 58.7% acquaintances. Only seven percent of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.
One of the most startling aspects of sex crimes is how many go unreported. The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting these crimes are the belief that it is a private or personal matter and that they fear reprisal from the assailant.
• In 2001, only 39% of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials — about one in every three. [1999 NCVS]
• Approximately 66% of rape victims know their assailant.
• Approximately 48% of victims are raped by a friend or acquaintance; 30% by a stranger; 16% by an intimate; 2% by another relative; and in 4% of cases the relationship is unknown.
• About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victim’s own home. More than half of all rape/sexual assault incidents were reported by victims to have occurred within one mile of their home or at their home.
• In one study, 98% of males who raped boys reported that they were heterosexual.
• Rapists are more likely to be serial criminals than serial rapists. In one study, 46% of rapists who were released from prison were rearrested within 3 years of their release for another crime -- 18.6% for a violent offense, 14.8% for a property offense, 11.2% for a drug offense and 20.5% for a public-order offense.
• 61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison.
So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is onl

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. • The application of the label ‘victim’ is seen to
essentialise the person and removes agency
• In response some have suggested that the term
‘survivors’ is more appropriate
• The term survivors is no less essentialising and
importantly loses sight of the process of
victimisation.
• Taking on victim status is important for a number
of reasons:
‐ to develop a response and take action
‐ without victim status no culpability
Victimisation is not an act but a process of
action and reaction in which the person
becomes the primary definer
8. Nils Christie’s notion of the ‘ideal victim’
‐ weak in relation to the offender
‐ engaged in a legitimate activity
‐ unknown to the perpetrator
‐ essentially blameless
Richard Sparks’ notion of ‘victim proneness’
‐Regularly exposed to risky situations
‐ high visibility
‐ accessibility
‐ vulnerability
‐ impunity
The paradox is that women involved in prostitution tend
to score very highly on Sparks criteria but are less likely
to be seen as legitimate victims for the reasons outlined
by Christie.
