Reflecting on how societal expectations drive individuals towards crime through the lens of Anomie and Strain Theories. Merton's insights to Broidy & Agnew's gender perspectives challenge us to think deeper. What current societal pressures do you see as most impactful in driving criminal behavior? #CriminologyDebate #SocietalExpectations #ModernChallenges

I'm thrilled to share that I'm embarking on a new book project exploring a critical and often overlooked issue: Gender Bias in Society and the Legal System. As a former police officer and author of "The Faces of Unborn Butterflies," I've seen firsthand how social attitudes and norms, along with our legal frameworks, can favor one gender over the other. This new book will delve into how females are often favored over males and the point at which feminism shifted from a progressive human rights movement to a regressive, suppressive mechanism. 📚 What to Expect: Personal Stories: Real-life accounts highlighting gender bias in domestic violence cases. Critical Analysis: Examination of gender roles and social expectations. Impact on Justice: How gender bias affects real victims and the integrity of our legal system. I'm looking to compile stories and testimonies to bring this issue to light. If you have a story to share or know someone who does, please get in touch. Let's raise awareness and work towards a fairer legal system for everyone. 🔗 Join the Conversation: Comment below, connect with me on Facebook, or send me a PM to share your experiences. Together, we can drive change and ensure justice for all. Thank you for your support! 🙏 #GenderBias #LegalSystem #NewBook #DomesticViolence #Equality #JusticeForAll #Feminism #SocialIssues 4o

Meda Chesney-Lind’s work from 1960 offers a critical examination of how patriarchal societal structures uniquely influence delinquency among young women. This approach underscores the necessity for a justice system that does not merely penalize but rather understands and addresses the underlying societal and familial pressures contributing to female delinquency. It prompts a significant inquiry into how our current systems can evolve to prevent the criminalization of survival strategies often employed by young women in distressing environments. Are our reformative policies and programs adequately equipped to tackle these gender-specific challenges? How can we implement more supportive measures that recognize and alleviate the pressures that propel young women toward criminal behavior? #GenderBias #Patriarchy #JuvenileJustice #Criminology #ReformativeJustice #ChesneyLind #SocialInequity #FeministTheory #PolicyMaking #Criminalization

Are We Disturbed!! Violence is an all pervasive crime against humanity be it any caste, creed, gender, religion or geography. For women, while education is a powerful tool for self-empowerment, it often encounters barriers due to deep-rooted gender inequalities, biases, and discrimination, thus predisposing them to violence and abuse at home, public space or the workplace. Injustice prevails due to the failure of protective laws and institutional mechanisms like police, judiciary, and Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) frameworks. As a result, women are left vulnerable and without justice.

This week, let's explore the intriguing study by Broidy & Agnew on gender differences in crime through the lens of General Strain Theory. Their research sheds light on how societal pressures unequally impact men and women, leading to varied pathways to criminal behavior. What implications do these findings have for policy and preventive measures in our communities? Join the conversation. #CriminologyInsights #GenderDynamics #PolicyImpact

Punitive #antidiscrimination measures are inadequate. They must be supplemented by measures that counteract #prejudices, #stereotypes and cognitive distortions. Marie-Anne Valfort at Paris School of Economics : 'Do anti-discrimination policies work? A mix of policies could be the solution to reducing discrimination in the labor market'. Elevator pitch Discrimination is a complex, multi-factor phenomenon. Evidence shows widespread discrimination on various grounds, including ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or beliefs, disability, being over 55 years old, or being a woman. Combating discrimination requires combining the strengths of a range of anti-discrimination policies while also addressing their weaknesses. In particular, policymakers should thoroughly address prejudice (taste-based discrimination), stereotypes (statistical discrimination), cognitive biases, and attention-based discrimination. https://lnkd.in/d-_e8Xw

#SocialJustice | In 2022, the theme for Pakistan’s annual Aurat March was Reimagining Justice. The manifesto highlighted failures of the criminal justice system, and emphasised the need to build a “feminist culture of care that looks beyond the individual to address structural violence”. The word ‘care’, it said, needs to be “decoupled from stereotypical understandings of feminine traits and envisioned as collective responsibility”. As feminist movements take cognisance of the layered injustices of gender with caste, class, sexuality, race, disability, and other marginalisations, this task of reimagining justice—to fight structural violence and build a system of care—has become increasingly central to our struggle. It arises in response to unending gender violence and sexual crime, and from an understanding that the world we live in is culturally, politically, and economically designed to create and perpetuate oppression. It also arises as we witness an alarming increase in the number of women in prison. Marginalised women and their families are imprisoned disproportionately, and criminalisation doesn't work. In this article, Shalom Gauri and Kushal Choudhary highlight what restorative justice looks like in practice. *This article was originally published on The Third Eye.
