This essay outlines the implications for abused women and children living in a society dominated by a high level of social
disruption and examines the various responses to domestic violence when it occurs in the midst of political violence. Attention
is focused on whether or not there are any special problems encountered in such a situation and whether these have particular
implications for women elsewhere. Using Northern Ireland as one example, the essay explores the social conditions impacting
at the familial, community, and state level and assesses the extent to which these provide a pervasive and interactive system
for legitimizing domestic violence. 相似文献

This article analyses the role of law as an element of the Republican Movement's violent and political struggle during the Northern Ireland conflict. The trials and legal hearings of paramilitary defendants, the use of judicial reviews in the prisons, and the use of law in the political arena are chosen as three interconnected sites which highlight the complex interaction between law and other forms of struggle. The author argues that these three sites illustrate a number of themes in understanding the role of law in processes of struggle and political transformation. These include: law as a series of dialogical processes both inside and outside a political movement; law as an instrumental process of struggle designed to materially and symbolically 'resist'; and the constitutive effects of legal struggle upon a social and political movement. The article concludes with a discussion as to whether or not Republicans' emphasis upon 'rights and equality' and an end to armed struggle represents a 'sell out' of traditional Republican objectives. 相似文献

Abstract This paper provides a perspective on women's resistance in Northern Ireland by focussing on their experiences of house raids. In light of a growing literature on women in conflict with the state, it argues that women have become increasingly politicised and organised in their resistance to repeated incursions into the home by the security forces which have ruptured traditional boundaries around relations of motherhood, home maker and sexual privacy. Based on a qualitative study of one hundred women in Northern Ireland, this paper suggests the coercive agents of the state have played a significant role in both the individual and collective resistance of women. Paradoxically, it seems, the security forces have become agents of change whereby the exposition and violation of the home has been one of the forces which has nurtured and defined women's political consciousness. 相似文献

By creating ‘outsiders’ … labelling invariably gives rise to repeat interventions of increasing intensity that … ultimately establish, consolidate, and/or confirm offender ‘identities’. Such ‘identities’ attract further intervention and/or negative reaction and so the process continues. (Goldson, 2010) As the above quote attests, labelling theorists recognise the harmful impact of formal system contact on the individual and contend that problems occur when members of society become intolerant towards the individual's offending, forming a ‘negative social reaction’, invoking damaging consequences for the ‘offender’ (ibid). 相似文献

One of the central reasons for the longevity of the terrorist conflict in Northern Ireland is that the main terrorist groups generate support from their ethnic constituencies through their powers of patronage in the informal economy. The terrorist groups have evolved into formalised structures which have been able to amass a sizable amount of dirty money which has been used in part to create an informal welfare network. The paper explains the inadequacies of some accounts of the terrorist groups, examines the links between those groups and the informal economy, and examines the government's recent attempts to combat racketeering. Racketeering will not be eliminated by police action alone. 相似文献

This article critically examines discourses of political policing in contemporary Northern Ireland (NI). Recognising the post-conflict and post-reform climate that policing now occurs within, it argues that these environmental factors have conditioned discourses of policing that are directly tied to how legitimate political opposition to the political status quo in post-Good Friday Agreement (GFA) NI is policed. The article asserts that political policing discourses have taken a new trajectory that departs from traditional ethno-nationalist interpretations of the issue to instead reflect a broader structuralist interpretation of state-police power relations. It concludes with the argument that political policing discourses have evolved to reflect common class-based disillusionment with the post-GFA state across the political divide that sees the matter rooted in police protection of a system of devolved governance that has failed to tackle structural exclusion and socio-economic deprivation. 相似文献

This essay arises from the experiences of a practitioner who has, until recently, managed a project offering services to those
under threat from paramilitary organisations. This essay is divided into two sections. The first section offers an overview
of the ideologies and practices of Loyalist and Republican paramilitaries regarding informal justice. The second section examines
the problems of intervention with those under threat and the insights offered by an analysis of the project’s casework.

The notion that the abuse of human rights leads to conflict has been recognised by commentators and international legal instruments.
Human rights activists in Northern Ireland have long argued that the failure on the part of the government to comply with
its international obligations to protect rights has exacerbated the conflict. This essay is predicated on the thesis that,
as issues of justice and the abuse of rights were central to the genesis of the conflict, they must also be the seminal strands
in the search for peace. By way of an audit measured against the proposals of human rights activists and the recommendations
of international institutions charged with assessing UK compliance with human rights treaties, the essay examines the changes
in the human rights situation in Northern Ireland since the declarations of the ceasefires. The discussion draws on the experience
of other jurisdictions to support its central thesis. Finally, the reasons for the UK reluctance to adopt a more rights-centred
approach to peace negotiations are outlined, and the practical benefits which would result from such an approach is considered.

Pipe bombs are crudely constructed improvized explosive devices which are easily made at home. They are increasingly used by terrorists and others, and may inflict serious injuries and cause death. Four fatalities have occurred in association with their use in Northern Ireland between 1998 and 2002. In 2 cases, death was due to penetrating shrapnel injuries to the chest causing laceration of the great vessels, and a third fatality occurred due to a bomb fragment penetrating the cranial cavity. A pipe bomb exploded close to the back of the head of a fourth victim and this was associated with a severe brain injury. The pathologist was able to determine the position of the victim in relation to the explosion by interpreting the pattern of injuries. It seems likely that 2 of the victims had been involved in the construction, transport, or use of the devices. A third victim was entirely innocent and had been in the process of removing a pipe bomb, which had been thrown through the window of her home, when it exploded. The fourth victim was a member of the security forces who had been struck by a bomb fragment, in the region of the right eye, during a period of sectarian unrest. 相似文献
