Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For more than 35 years, those working in the New Zealand criminal justice system have been concerned about the experience of women victims of sexual violence who testify in court as complainants. Many changes introduced in 1986 impacted positively on the experience of complainants in cases of sexual offending. Others have been less successful in their implementation. Although academics, lawyers, judges and community workers continued to express concern about the low reporting and conviction rates in sexual cases, it was not until a high profile case in 2006 that the public became engaged and two successive governments were compelled to act. In the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand in the mid-1980s a number of young women claimed they were gang-raped by three police officers. Although complaints were made at the time, no action was taken until a journalist highlighted the issue in 2004. In March 2006, the three men were acquitted of raping one of the women. Public concern about the case initially centred on the fact that the jury were not told that two of the accused had been convicted of raping another of the young women.The Government responded by setting up a Taskforce for Action on Sexual Violence. It was followed by a two-year research project into sexual violence against adults in New Zealand funded by the Ministry of Women's Affairs, in partnership with the Ministry of Justice and the New Zealand Police. Both pieces of research identified the need for further consideration of the prosecution process. "Published with the assistance of the New Zealand Law Foundation and the New Zealand Law Commission."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Calls for changes to the trial process in rape cases, including removing the jury as decision-maker, have been consistent over time and across jurisdictions. Victims and survivors of sexual violence, their supporters, law reformers, researchers and academics from many disciplines have advocated for the removal of the jury from rape trials for many years. Some claim it is indeed the panacea for all that is unacceptably brutal in the current trial process, with the jury being described as the cause of most of the damage done.Anecdotal evidence, and some research, suggests that in judge-alone trials cross-examination is shorter, there is less reliance on the real rape schema, and the issues at trial are more focussed. It is also likely that judge-alone trials involve fewer delays and pre-trial appeals, and that the hearings are not as disrupted (for example, by the need for legal argument in the absence of the jury). Research also indicates a difference in verdict choices between judges and juries in the specific context of cases involving allegations of sexual violence, with the behaviour of the complainant being seen as contributory fault. Further, the way counsel conducts their case may vary when the judge is the decision-maker, which may impact on trial outcome.Due to the continued widely-held view that replacing the jury with some other entity will have the effect of decreasing the negative impact on the complainant as a witness in the trial process (along with other desired effects such as reducing the decision-makers reliance on rape myths and misconceptions), it is important that empirical research is available to inform future public debate. This book records the results of such research. This book records the results of research comparing jury trials and judge-alone trials to examine whether judges sitting alone perform better in rape trials in terms of decreasing the negative impact on the complainant as a witness in the trial process.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The high level of family violence in Aotearoa New Zealand presents a systemic and resistant challenge for the criminal justice system. While much legal and social-science research focuses on the prevention of, and response to, family violence, there is a noticeable dearth of work examining the prosecution of serious sexual and physical violence that occurs within an intimate relationship. Prosecuting Intimate Partner Rape addresses that gap.Comparative analysis of 20 intimate partner rape trials (both with a jury and judge-alone) provides the basis for wide-ranging proposals to reform law and practice with the aim of improving complainant trial experience. The work also demonstrates how essential it is for sexual violence within a relationship to be recognised and responded to as a distinct and significant form of harm in particular there is a pressing need for fact-finders to consider (and be assisted to understand) the nature of consent within a context of coercive control.Prosecuting Intimate Partner Rape will be invaluable for those working in, or with interest in, the prosecution of sexual offending and family violence and reform options. It provides commentary of use to lawyers and judges in their practice but is written to be accessible to sector workers, victim support agency workers, policy makers, and students of law, criminology, criminal justice and sociology.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This edited collection asks how key New Zealand judgments might read if they were written by a feminist judge. Feminist judging is an emerging critical legal approach that works within the confines of common law legal method to challenge the myth of judicial neutrality and illustrate how the personal experiences and perspectives of judges may influence the reasoning and outcome of their decisions. Uniquely, this book includes a set of cases employing an approach based on mana wahine, the use of Maori values that recognise the complex realities of Maori women's lives. Through these feminist and mana wahine judgments, it opens possibilities of more inclusive judicial decision making for the future.'This project stops us in our tracks and asks us: how could things have been different? At key moments in our legal history, what difference would it have made if feminist judges had been at the tiller? By doing so, it raises a host of important questions. What does it take to be a feminist judge? Would we want our judges to be feminists and if so why? Is there a uniquely female perspective to judging?'Professor Claudia Geiringer, Faculty of Law, Victoria University of Wellington'With this book, some of our leading jurists expose the biases and power structures that underpin legal rules and the interpretation of them. Some also give voice to mana wahine perspectives on and about the law that have become invisible over time, perpetuating the impacts of colonialism and patriarchy combined on Maori women. I hope this book will be a catalyst for our nation to better understand and then seek to ameliorate these impacts.'Dr Claire Charters, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Auckland'The work is highly illuminating and is critical to the development of our legal system . It is crucial, not only for legal education, so that students of the law open their minds to the different ways legal problems can be conceptualised and decided. It is also crucial if we are going to have a truly just legal system where all the different voices and perspectives are fairly heard.'Professor Mark Henaghan, Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Otago'I believe this project is particularly important, as few academics or researchers in New Zealand concentrate on judicial method. I am therefore hopeful that it will provoke thoughtful debate in a critical area for society.'The Honourable Justice Helen Winkelmann, New Zealand Court of Appeal.…
