This chapter reveals the nature of Islamophobia targeted towards ‘visible’ Muslims both online and offline. The chapter highlights that this victimisation is likely to be experienced as a continuing process, rather than as a single incident occurring online or offline, and reflects upon the tendency of victims not to report such incidents to the police. Participants highlighted that the visibility of their Muslim identity was key to being identified as Muslims, and thus triggering online and/or offline Islamophobic attacks. Both male and female victims remained ‘invisible’ in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to experiences of online hate.

DA APLICABILIDADE DA JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA À VIOLÊNCIA MORAL EM FUNÇÃO DO GÊNERO APPLICABILITY OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TO MORAL VIOLENCE BASED IN GENDER Andressa Loli Bazo*Alexandre Ribas de Paulo**RESUMO: A presente pesquisa teve por fim verificar se o denominado “assédio moral” praticado contra vítima do gênero feminino encontra proteção no ordenamento penal brasileiro. Diante da constatação de uma lacuna legislativa, procurou-se avaliar se o sistema penal poderia oferecer uma resposta ao problema e, concluindo que o mesmo não é capaz de cumprir suas funções declaradas, estudou-se os postulados da Justiça Restaurativa, que se mostrou uma via legítima e adequada para sanar os conflitos intersubjetivos intrafamiliares. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Assédio Moral. Lei Maria da Penha. Justiça Restaurativa. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to verify if the so-called “moral harassment” practiced mainly against female victims finds protection in the Brazilian criminal justice system. Faced with the existence of a legislative gap, this research tried to assess whether or not the criminal justice system could offer a real answer to the problem, and, concluding that it is not able to fulfill its declared functions, it was studied the postulates of Restorative justice, which proved to be a proper and legitimate way to remedy the intersubjective conflicts within the families. KEYWORDS: Moral Harassment.

Male and female meth dealers exhibit numerous common characteristics and patterns. For example, both can be relatively heavy users and both have similar (long) criminal records. However, both groups show important distinctions in their drug dealing patterns. This exploratory study compares 34 male and 26 female meth dealers ( N = 60) who were involved in the same criminal justice system of a single western state during the same time period. Among other things, the findings indicate that male dealers treat their trafficking activities more like a business, have more customers, make more money, and are more likely prepared for violence while dealing than females. In contrast, female dealers have more education, including graduate school, have been arrested less often and are more willing to try drug treatment than male dealers.

This article discusses how practices in the Spanish criminal justice system relate to Organic Law 1/2004 on measures against gender-based violence. We examine the predominant construction of the problem and the secondary victimization1 of women. Data were collected from two sources: participant observation at police victim support units and courts dealing with violence against women,2 and in-depth interviews with abused women and legal and psychosocial professionals. Our analysis has uncovered a lack of institutional resources for detecting psychological violence and negative stereotyping of female victims. We conclude that a gender perspective should be incorporated into criminal justice system practices.

This article examines an issue that has been largely ignored in the growing literature on the treatment of sexual offences within the criminal justice system, i.e. the treatment of adult male rape and sexual assault complainants by the police. This analysis is based upon a series of interviews with men who have reported their experiences of rape and sexual assault. It considers issues of victim care and satisfaction with the performance of the police, along with other criminal justice professionals. These experiences are placed in a broader research context that indicates some of the features of men's treatment by the police, along with recurrent themes that are also seen in the treatment of female complainants. Finally, this article critically considers claims that the criminal justice's treatment of male and female rape is influenced by gender bias.
