Many factors contribute to attrition in sexual offense cases from victim reluctance to systemic barriers. This book examines the attrition of sexual offenses across seven countries—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and Türkiye. Using various jurisdictions and legal systems sheds light on how those systems' distinctive features impact investigation and adjudication. Through the critical analyses of various sexual offenses and statistical data, European Perspectives on Attrition in Sexual Offenses demonstrates how cases continue to attrite through their journey from commencement to the finalization within the European criminal justice systems. This book would be of interest to scholars studying criminology, criminal justice, and law as well as practitioners within the criminal justice and legal professions.

This volume offers an in-depth analysis of the social phenomenon of migration from various legal-linguistic perspectives. Migration has become a global phenomenon and a burning issue provoking social conflict and political instability in modern societies all over the world. The question of dealing with migrants and asylum seekers has dominated political discourse. It has given rise to national and international legislation on emigration and immigration, some of them including discriminatory provisions, pressed laws against immigration (Acts of exclusion) and prompted anti-migration rhetoric and hate speech against migrants. Important efforts have been made in both common law and civil law jurisdictions to protect migrants' fundamental rights to dignity and equality.
This book provides an original insight into how families of origin of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) people are involved in negotiating meanings and experiences of sexuality and intimacy, an underexplored dimension of queer family life. Delving into the perspectives of families of origin and showing the complexity and heterogeneity of the ways people with their different gender and sexual identities "do" families across generations, it contributes to queerying the very distinction between families of origin and families of choice and questions the (hetero)normative assumptions about forms and boundaries of family this distinction rests upon. A focus on marginal contexts, such ...

Digital violence continues to increase, especially during times of crisis. Racism, bullying, ageism, sexism, child pornography, cybercrime, and digital tracking raise critical social and digital security issues that have lasting effects. Digital violence can cause children to be dragged into crime, create social isolation for the elderly, generate inter-communal conflicts, and increase cyber warfare. A closer study of digital violence and its effects is necessary to develop lasting solutions. The Handbook of Research on Digital Violence and Discrimination Studies introduces the current best practices, laboratory methods, policies, and protocols surrounding international digital violence and discrimination. Covering a range of topics such as abuse and harassment, this major reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, policymakers, practitioners, professionals, instructors, and students.
La desigualdad de la mujer es un hecho aún en el mundo y hay que seguir luchando para conseguir que pueda disfrutar de sus derechos en libertad e igualdad. La igualdad de la mujer no es solo un derecho humano fundamental, sino que es uno de los fundamentos esenciales para construir un mundo pacífico, próspero y sostenible. Este libro ofrece un análisis del marco jurídico de la discriminación y el odio dirigidos contra la mujer, por ser mujer y por motivos religiosos o de creencia, en los ámbitos de Naciones Unidas, Consejo de Europa e Unión Europea, sin pretensión de exhaustividad, por la complejidad del tema. La discriminación múltiple o interseccional de la mujer es una realidad que conlleva graves consecuencias para sus derechos, por lo que debe ser combatida no sólo legislativamente, sino también a través de la educación, la sensibilización y los agentes sociales, incluidas las confesiones religiosas.
Este libro habla de la falta de empatía que la criminología convencional ha mostrado hacia las mujeres como sujetos de delito. Ignoradas, cuando no deformadas bajo una mirada interesadamente sexista, ellas han permanecido al margen de la evolución de las ideas acerca de la criminalidad y su definición, como seres natural y socialmente conformes. Concebido el delito como masculino, su desviación tenía que ser interpretada como signo de una anormalidad individual, fruto de disfunciones y patologías propias de su sexo, o de una socialización frustrada en los roles normativos de género destinados a asegurar su vinculación al espacio privado y a los dictados de una domesticidad y una pa...
Se realiza una amplia exposición de derecho comparado y se analizan a fondo y críticamente los tipos penales que aparentemente se dirigen a la protección de extranjeros: los relativos al tráfico ilegal de personas; a la contratación de extranjeros sin permiso de trabajo en condiciones lesivas para sus derechos; los diversos tipos y la circunstancia agravante genérica que de forma más o menos directa se enfrentan a la discriminación y; como manifestación más propia de prácticas de componentes del propio grupo sobre los miembros más débiles, el delito de mutilación genital, especialmente femenina, y su posible relación con la libertad de conciencia. Su objetivo es facilitar a lo...
