Intimate femicide in Israel; temporal, social, and motivational patterns

This study investigated all (76) cases of intimate femicide (the killing of women by their intimate male partners) in Israel during the years 1990–1995. The analysis focused on temporal patterns, the representation of various population groups, and given motives. The findings show a relationship between the incidence of intimate femicide and a number of major events/processes experienced by Israeli society during the period investigated. Following the Persian Gulf War (in 1991), during which families were enclosed for lengthy periods in sealed rooms, there was a sharp increase in intimate femicide. On the other hand, the enactment of the Law for the Prevention of Family Violence in 1991 was followed by a sharp (though temporary) decrease in intimate femicide in 1992. New immigrants from the former Soviet Union and even more so, from Ethiopia were over-represented among intimate femicide offenders. In most cases, more than one motive is given for the intimate femicide, with 'possessiveness' being mentioned in the majority of cases usually in conjunction with other motives (such as argument/conflict between the parties, mental, drinking or drug problems of the offender). Here too, differences were found between the various population groups. The findings are discussed within the framework of a stress-support theoretical model which postulates that violence in society will be positively related to stress factors and negatively related to support systems.     

National trends in female arrests, 1960–1990: Assessment and recommendations for research

Trends in female criminality from 1960 to 1990 are examined. The main focus is UCR arrest statistics but other sources of evidence are also used. Major findings include the following: (1) relative to males, the profile of the female offender has not changed; and (2) the principal change in the female percentage of arrests involves the overall rise in property crime, especially minor thefts and frauds. The effects of broad-based legal and societal trends on female criminality are discussed and an agenda for research on the issue of female crime trends is proposed.

Modes of legitimation by female Pentecostal-Charismatic preachers in East Africa: a comparative study in Kenya and Tanzania

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the rise of female Pentecostal-Charismatic (PC) church leaders and how they legitimize themselves in a male dominated religious field in Kenya and Tanzania. It explores, in a qualitative way, four women leaders’ modes of attaining legitimacy in African PC milieus and contributes empirically based knowledge from four cases which include Eleonorah Wambui of Prosperity Gospel Ministries and Jesca Njuguna of Prophetic Word Ministry in Kenya, as well as Neema Mwambembela of Holy Ghost Power Assemblies and Irene John of Miracle Prayer Ministry in Tanzania. We make reference to Boulding’s delineation of sources of legitimacy ([1967] ‘The Legitimacy of Economics.’ Economic Inquiry 5 (4): 299–307). We found that the four East African female preachers that we examined share certain common practices, but that differences are manifest among them owing to differences in their personal preferences and to the contextual flavour of each ministry.

农村80后外出务工女性的角色变迁研究

伴随着我国城市化进程的加快,农民工逐渐成为全社会关注的一个特殊群体.继1980年代的第一批农民工之后,新生代农民工成为新的社会焦点.新生代农民工群体,尤其是其中的80后外出务工女性,在年龄结构、教育水平、心理特征和社会经历方面都有着明显的时代特征.在传统的性别角色期待与自我角色期望之间,80后外出务工女性经历了自我角色的主流化、觉醒、冲突、定位与多样化的过程.为此,我们应该给予她们更多的社会关注和社会支持,通过整合社会各个层面的优势资源,为她们创造良好的社会发展环境.     

论文字作品的冒名侵权

署名权的法律意义之一在于明确作品的权利归属、维护作品创作的特定风格。冒名侵权作为一种新的侵权形态,具有形式上的合法性、主观上的故意性、侵权对象的特定性和行为上的隐蔽性等特点,其实质是以不知名的某特定主体的姓名或署名(与知名作家的姓名或署名完全相同)冒称知名作家的姓名或署名发表、出版、复制、销售作品的侵权行为。冒名侵权的构成要件包括知名作家权利受损事实的存在、以知名作家为侵害对象、隐性的外在冒名行为和有冒名的故意等几个方面。现行著作权侵权救济法律制度有其不周延性,只有建立和完善著作权登记制度,充实现有的著作权法规,增加作者或著作权人署名的特定附随义务,才能有效地防止冒名侵权行为的发生、保护知名作家的署名不被冒用,激发创作者的积极性和创作潜能的充分发挥。

从批评性语篇分析视角探析《金融时报》中的女高管形象

批评性语篇分析以系统功能语言学为理论基础,融合多学科知识来探讨语篇与社会的辩证关系。以批评性语篇分析为研究方法,从及物性、语态、语气和选词4个方面,深入分析英国财经大报——《金融时报》中企业女高管的形象后发现,其在对女高管进行新闻报道的语言形式之下暗含着对这一角色的社会性别定型的认识,并体现了一定的性别不对称现象。由此可知,语言不仅是交际和思维的工具,还隐藏着深层次的社会权力关系和意识形态,语言研究者和学习者应自觉揭露并抵制语言中存在的性别不平等现象。     

现代化背景下女性犯罪问题及其应难——女性犯罪与女性社会角色转变

现代化进程产生的一个后果之一是女性犯罪逐渐增多。最近30余年来，随着我国现代化进程的启动和逐渐推进，社会结构明显转型，价值观念明显变化，我国女性犯罪率也逐渐上升，女性犯罪问题显露并引起了社会的关注。传统犯罪学向来是以成年男性犯罪为基本标本的，对女性犯罪关注较少，因此，女性犯罪问题及其解决还有待于进一步的研究。当今我国女性犯罪问题的研究有多维角度，社会角色及其转变即是其中一种。
