This paper utilises the concept of ‘hate relationships’ in conversation with the literature on geographies of encounter to explore experiences of racism for those entrapped by racist encounters with those who are familiar. In so doing, we attend to the uneven and harmful risks involved in some forms of everyday urban encounter. We draw upon case notes collated by a hate advocacy service in North East England, UK, to illustrate the cumulative damaging force of enduring hate relationships. By drawing parallels with work on domestic violence, we suggest hate relationships evident in our data exhibit distinct temporalities of routinisation, whereby harmful ‘low level’ violence, often under the radar of the criminal justice system, gains force through repeated neighbourhood-based encounters. In so doing, we also highlight both the situated and relational spatialities at work; localised encounters marked by familiarity, racialised territoriality and experiences of fear and immobility, but also relations of entrenched disadvantage and institutional failures that sustain harm. Concerted acts of resistance look to confront and/or escape these relationships, but as forms of resolution, where additional burdens are placed on victim/survivors, these are constrained by the same violent conditions through which such relationships are allowed to take shape.

This paper looks at the criminal case of Deborah Peagler and the California habeas law and explores the effectiveness of legislative changes to domestic battery laws as a mechanism for change in the criminal justice system in regards to its treatment of domestic violence survivors accused of committing a crime against their abuser. It focuses on the androcentric and racialized nature of the criminal justice system and argues that while legislative changes brought about by social movements facilitate opportunities for women like Peagler to pursue just outcomes, they do not counter the gender biases prevalent in the justice system and, alone, are insufficient in improving the treatment of domestic violence survivors in the criminal justice system.

There is a paucity of empirical research on solicitors, court clerks, magistrates, barristers and judges conducted within the criminal justice system in England and Wales. Even though the research conducted for this chapter is now several years old, it is included and retained because of the valuable insights provided into the era of modernisation. Importantly, it provides insights into what criminal justice professionals perceived of probation during a period of critical change under new labour. Accordingly, this chapter constitutes a slice of criminal justice history, in North-East England, that can be accessed and utilised by other criminal justice researchers. In doing so it is intended to compensate for empirical paucity in this specific domain of interest.

Media Reports

The offence of controlling or coercive behaviour came into effect in England and Wales in December 2015, and related offences have since been enacted in Scotland and Ireland. To date, there has been almost no empirical evaluation of the operationalisation of the new English and Welsh offence. This article fills that gap by analysing media reports relating to 107 individuals convicted of controlling or coercive behaviour, providing a profile of offenders and victims (gender and age), the types of abusive behaviours offenders engaged in and how the cases progressed through the criminal justice system (manner of conviction, sentencing outcomes). Media reporting of these cases is also discussed. The results suggest that the offence is (appropriately) operationalised in a highly gendered manner, that it has captured a diverse range of behaviours that would not previously have been considered criminal, and that media reports of this form of domestic violence have not demonstrated the negativity towards victims identified in previous studies. Further research of primary data is required to confirm these findings.

The marriage bond that is conducted aims to form a happy prosperous household, eternal and lasting under the protection of God Almighty, with the aim, automatically the family should be fostered as well as possible, mutual love and affectionate love between husband and wife and children . Each couple wishes for a harmonious married life, but not forever the condition of the household between husband and wife good and peaceful, because sometimes there are quarrels and bickering, which often leads to the occurrence of violence in the household that eventually happened to a percerarian. The legal policy issued by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to anticipate violence especially domestic violence is Law Number 23 Year 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (PKDRT). This law is expected to reveal the various violations in the household and the protection of the rights of victims of violence without exception, therefore the question to be answered in this study is, How to protect the law against women victims of domestic violence in the criminal justice system in the City Jambi. This research uses empirical juridical type, and as its analysis knife the researcher uses legal protection theory, that is preventive law protection and repressive law protection. The emphasis of the analysis on the fact that repressive legal protection in the criminal justice system is reflected from the case reporting process until the case is decided by the judge in court. In addition to a brief overview of the process of domestic violence in the criminal justice system, there are also some judges' decisions on cases with free decisions and verdicts stating that the case was revoked. That the repressive legal protection of victims of domestic violence through the decision of a court of a criminal verdict has shown the comparison of law, although it is still far from the legal certainty.Keywords: Legal Protection Against Women, Domestic Violence Victims, Criminal Justice System

Those monitoring the Domestic Violence Act generally conclude that it is poorly understood and badly implemented by officials in the criminal justice system. But a project aimed at understanding how ordinary cops police South Africa’s streets concludes that part of the problem with this conclusion is a failure to grasp the real limitations – legal, logistical and emotional – under which policing operates. These limitations, combined with the sheer volume of cases, affect the way in which ordinary officers handle these incidents.
