Abstract

"Throughout the nineteenth century and twentieth century, various attempts were made to define and control problematic behaviour in public by legal and legislative means through the use of a somewhat nebulous concept of "indecency". Remarkably however, public indecency remains a much under-researched aspect of English legal, social and criminal justice history. Covering a period of just over a century, from 1857 (the date of the passing of the first Obscene Publications Act) to 1960 (the date of the famous trial of Penguin Books over their publication of Lady Chatterley's Lover following the introduction of a new Obscene Publications Act in the previous year), Public Indecency in England investigates the social and cultural obsession with various forms of indecency and how public perceptions of different types of indecent behaviour led to legal definitions of such behaviour in both common law and statute. This truly interdisciplinary book utilises socio-legal, historical and criminological research to discuss the practical response of both the police and the judiciary to those caught engaging in public indecency, as well as to highlight the increasing problems faced by moralists during a period of unprecedented technological developments in the fields of visual and aural mass entertainment. It is written in a lively and approachable style and, as such, is of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of deviance, law, criminology, sociology, criminal justice, socio-legal studies, and history. It will also be of interest to the general reader"--

Abstract

Atmospheric and fast-paced, this novel of manners set in a provincial South Korean city leads readers through the silent corridors of a school for hearing-impaired children and the city’s foggy back streets and murky centers of power to a stirring courtroom climax. Gong Jiyoung’s Togani (The Crucible), published in Korean in 2009, is based on a historic case of child sexual abuse at a state-run institution. The novel went on to sell nearly a million copies and, along with a 2011 film adaptation directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, prompted the South Korean National Assembly to pass the “Togani Laws” to provide greater legal protections for children and vulnerable adults under state care and harsher penalties for those convicted of their abuse. At a time when Korean popular culture drives cultural production worldwide, Togani reminds us of the power of fiction to effect meaningful societal change.A story of courage in the face of corruption, Togani offers nuanced portraits of a failed young businessman seeking a new life as a teacher and his counterpart, a young woman committed to a career in human rights; a police officer of humble origins who rose through the ranks as he turns a blind eye to the abuse of students by the school’s administrators; and a hearing-impaired teenage girl, a victim of that abuse, who cares deeply for the other children at the school. The book testifies to the legacy of neo-Confucian class conflict, gender disparity, and the vulnerability of those near the bottom of the social ladder. It is a heart-wrenching and provocative work that helped bring about change to a system it dared to challenge.

Abstract

Sans en avoir conscience, un grand nombre d’individus est confronté tous les jours à des formes de coercitions sexuelles tantôt sévères tantôt plus sournoises. Ce terme englobe en réalité un large éventail de tactiques et de stratégies qui tendent à manipuler ou contraindre une personne à s’engager dans une relation sexuelle contre son gré. Les stratégies coercitives peuvent notamment prendre la forme de pressions, de menaces, de chantage, impliquer l’usage de la force, de l’autorité, d’alcool ou de drogue. &#13;&#13;Aussi, nous nous sommes intéressés aux coercitions sexuelles chez les personnes entrant dans l’âge adulte, c’est-à-dire les individus âgés de 18 à 25 ans. Afin de mener une recherche approfondie, nous nous sommes penchés sur différentes associations entre les coercitions sexuelles, l’attachement romantique des jeunes adultes et le vécu de traumatisme sexuel durant l’enfance. Pour cela, nous avons créé un questionnaire en ligne et l’avons diffusé sur différents réseaux sociaux. &#13;&#13;Grâce aux 483 participations récoltées, nous avons pu observer que les femmes étaient plus souvent victimes de stratégies coercitives et les hommes auteurs de celles-ci. Il est également apparu que les personnes anxieuses avaient plus de risques de devenir victimes de coercitions sexuelles. Nous nous sommes aussi aperçus qu’avoir vécu un traumatisme sexuel durant l’enfance augmentait le risque d’être victime de coercition sexuelle à l’entrée de l’âge adulte. Nous avons constaté que le style d'attachement n'avait pas le même effet sur le score de perpétration selon le sexe des sujets. Finalement, il est également apparu que le style d'attachement n'avait pas le même effet sur le score de perpétration selon que l’on ait vécu ou non des abus sexuels durant l’enfance.&#13;&#13;Bien que ces différents facteurs ne soient pas les seuls à jouer un rôle dans le fait de devenir victimes ou auteurs de coercitions sexuelles, nous espérons qu’ils pourront contribuer à la compréhension de ce phénomène et à la conscientisation des jeunes adultes vis-à-vis de celui-ci.

Abstract

: Les mauvais traitements envers les enfants, notamment les agressions sexuelles, suscitent fréquemment incompréhension et indignation. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que de nombreux chercheurs aient tenté d’identifier les facteurs étiologiques de ces abus (Collin-Vézina et Cyr, 2003). Un sujet qui a suscité particulièrement intérêt est la théorie de l’abusé-abuseur. Dans cette étude, nous allons sonder des auteurs d’infraction à caractère sexuel qui ont été victimes d’abus sexuels durant leur enfance pour comprendre l’(les) éventuel(s) lien(s) qu’ils font entre leur victimisation sexuelle et l’infraction à caractère sexuel qu’ils ont posé.
