- Description
- Aggressive criminal justice intervention in cases of wife abuse, characterized in particular by mandatory charging and no-drop prosecutorial policies, is frequently held out as offering two broad promises to women: protection for individual women experiencing wife abuse: and the transformation of the norms which currently sustain men's violence against women. The authors argue that not only has aggressive criminal justice intervention failed thus far to deliver on these promises but that it is, by its very nature, incapable of doing so. While its inability to do so is related to many factors which are discussed in the paper, perhapes the most significant is the multitude of harms that aggressive criminal justice intervention brings in tow for women, particularly those who are socially and economically marginalized.

- Description
- This paper focuses on the gap which the author's discovered between women's realities of the violence that they face from their abusers and the minimisation, trivialisation, and victim blaming that they so often encounter when they seek protection from the family court and the criminal justice system. 'The gap' is analysed from the perspective of women victims and used to evaluate the law as wel as the policies and procedures which have been adopted by police, judges, and family court counsellors for dealing with spousal violence cases.

- This essay begins with a two-part discussion of the subject of gender persecution: 'who is the subject in Western feminist theory?' and subsequently, 'who is the subject in the burgeoning legal scholarship on gender persecution?' The author argues that the subject is a culturally othered women. She then turn to examples of how the concept of gender persecution operates in cases brought before the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board under the new gender persecution guidelines to Canada's Immigration Act. The cases she discusses primarily involve domestic violence.
