Analysis of the Relationship Between Sexual Violence and Assertive Behavior in Young Spanish Adults

Abstract Introduction Research on sexual violence is of particular importance because of the prevalence and consequences of such violence in the young adult population. The identification of possible protective factors may be one step towards helping ameliorate this problem. We therefore analyzed the relationship between sexual violence and assertive behaviors in a population of young adults. Method A cross-sectional, correlational study. Data were collected between February 7, 2022, and August 9, 2022, in a population of young adults from Spanish universities. The sample consisted of 473 young adults between 19 and 24 years of age. Results The prevalence of violence perpetrated and experienced in the sample was high. Men reported a higher level of violence perpetration than women. Relationships are indicated between different types of assertive behaviors and sexual violence. In this regard, a higher degree of assertive behavior as a response is a protective factor against experiencing sexual violence in both sexes, while non-assertive behavior is a risk factor. In the case of sexual violence perpetration, overly assertive behavior is a risk factor. Conclusions A number of assertive behaviors were identified that may be considered risk or protective factors for sexual violence. Policy Implications Research enables the development of targeted, evidence-based intervention programs that can lead to a reduction in sexual violence in the young adult population.

"You kind of blame it on the alcohol, but. . .": A discourse analysis of alcohol use and sexual consent among young men in Vancouver, Canada.

There is growing awareness about issues of sexual consent, especially in autonomy-compromising or "non-ideal" contexts, including sex involving alcohol. Understanding the conditions needed for consensual sex to occur in this emergent milieu is critically important, especially for young men (ages 18-30 years) who normatively combine drinking alcohol with sex and are most often perpetrators of sexual violence. This study offers a discourse analysis of young men's alcohol use and sexual consent. Data are drawn from qualitative interviews with 76 young men (including gay, bisexual, queer, and straight men) in Vancouver, Canada, from 2018 to 2021. Informed by Kukla's non-ideal theory of sexual consent and critical and inclusive masculinities, this analysis identified three discursive frames: careful connections, watering it down, and blurred lines. In careful connections young men discussed their efforts to actively promote sexual and decisional autonomy for themselves and their sexual partners when drinking. Yet, in watering it down young men invoked discourses of disinhibition, deflection, and denial to normalize alcohol use as being somewhat excusatory for sexual violence, downplaying the role and responsibility of men. Lastly, men operationalized blurred lines through a continuum of consent and of "meeting (masculine) expectations" when discussing sexual violence and victimization while intoxicated. Together, these discursive frames provide insights into the gendered nature of sexual violence and the extent to which idealized notions of sexual consent play out in the everyday lives of young men who use alcohol with sex. Findings hold philosophical and pragmatic implications for contemporary efforts to scaffold sexual consent.

Penerapan Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Terhadap Pelaku Inses AnakKandung

Incest is a form of sexual deviation that often occurs in social life, especially in the family. The factors thatcause incest do not stand alone or single, but are an accumulation of various psychological, socialproblems, mental attitudes, morality and patriarchal culture of the perpetrator. This crime of incest is animmoral and immoral act that threatens children who are victims of sexual intercourse by their ownfamilies. Incest is very rampant in society because it is rarely reported due to the embarrassment for familymembers if it is known by others. The most common perpetrators of sexual violence, including incest, arefathers and uncles. This is sad, because many perpetrators of violence in the personal realm are consideredand expected to be protectors such as fathers, uncles or husbands. Criminal liability for perpetrators ofincest can be charged under Article 287 of the Criminal Code or Article 419 of Law No. 1 of 2023.Meanwhile, for the formulation of acts of incest against children, they can be charged using Article 294paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code or Article 418 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. Law No.1 of 2023.Obstacles in accessing justice and recovery also occur when victims do not receive support from theirfamilies, which encourages victims to leave their homes and lose their rights to education and protectionfrom their families.

Sexual Violence Against Children And Criminal Sanctions Towards Actors Based On The System Of Indonesian Law

This study aims to describe how the criminal law regulates sexual violence in Indonesian positive law and to analyze how criminal sanctions for perpetrators of sexual violence against biological children are in Indonesian positive law. This research was conducted using normative legal research in the form of library research using three types of legal materials, namely primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials, with a qualitative descriptive research analysis.The results of the study stated that the crime of sexual violence as a whole is regulated in the Criminal Code (KUHP), the Human Rights Law Number 39 of 1999, the Elimination of Domestic Violence Law Number 23 of 2004. And specifically against children as victims regulated in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. The results of other studies state that criminal sanctions for perpetrators of sexual violence in the Criminal Code against minors are formulated in Article 285 of the Criminal Code, namely imprisonment for a maximum of twelve years. Whereas in the Child Protection Act, imprisonment based on Article is a minimum of 5 (five) years and a maximum of 15 (fifteen) years and a maximum fine of Rp. 5,000,000,000.00 (five billion rupiah). Parents, guardians, caregivers of children, educators, or educational staff, then the penalty is added to 1/3 (one third) of the criminal threat as referred to in paragraph (1).

GANTI KERUGIAN TERHADAP ANAK KORBAN TINDAK PIDANA PENCABULAN

Regulations in force in Indonesia have protected the rights of child victims of abuse. However, law enforcement officials often believe that punishing perpetrators with criminal penalties is the best approach to help victims and not by violating victims' rights, especially the right to compensation. Normative legal research methods were used in this study with a normative juridical approach and qualitative descriptive data analysis. The results showed that compensation for child victims of abuse was paid procedurally. Therefore, the provision of compensation is difficult because it requires the request of victims which is considered to have come first. The lack of support from the community and victims' legal representatives is a challenge for the Witness and Victim Protection Agency in assisting child molesters to get compensation. The right to redress has not been effective due to a lack of support from human resources, especially psychologists, in assisting victims of sexual violence and law enforcement officials. The lack of coercive action against perpetrators of sexual violence regarding the payment of compensation decided by the court, and the provision of compensation depending on the good intentions of the perpetrators, presents challenges for law enforcement officials in carrying out compensation to victims of sexual violence. In addition, it must be requested first and the court has the authority to reject the request for compensation of the child victim, then this right is not fundamental. Restitution cannot be considered a right, because if it is, it must be granted automatically

Disparitas Hukum Pidana Terhadap Pelaku Kekerasan Seksual Pada Anak

This research aims to elucidate how criminal law disparities against perpetrators of sexual violence against children manifest based on Islamic law in Indonesia. The legal disparities indicate that child victims of sexual violence have not received comprehensive legal justice. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through exploration and reading online media with the keywords 'sexual violence against children in Indonesia' on the Google search engine. This paper reveals that legal imbalances have undermined the value of justice for child victims of sexual crimes, affecting them both psychologically and physically, and leading to other consequences such as dropping out of school, forced marriage to the perpetrator, and suicide. This study is crucial to bring about justice based on Islamic law for child victims of sexual crimes, juxtaposed with Pancasila justice. It highlights that the criminal legal disparities in cases of sexual violence consistently place children as the disadvantaged objects of legal justice. True legal inequality would not occur if the application of the law is based on Islamic Law grounded in divine values, as the punishment for perpetrators of sexual violence in Islam can be judged as hudud crimes, qhisas crimes, and ta'zir crimes.

Criminal Liability of Perpetrators of Criminal Acts of Sexual Harassment Against Children

In today's world, the sustainability of children's lives, growth, and development is often threatened by actions that degrade human dignity. One of the most disturbing forms of violation of human dignity is cases of sexual harassment against children. Children are particularly vulnerable to acts of cruelty and sexual crimes. Perpetrators of sexual violence often pose a significant threat to children, even though they are aware of the legal consequences. The purpose of this writing is to explore the criminal liability for the actions of perpetrators of sexual harassment against children using a juridical-normative method. The research findings indicate that the criminal liability for sexual harassment against children can be attributed to individuals or the perpetrators themselves. This responsibility is not exempt from the burden of proof, as the elements of criminal liability must be established. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider aspects of criminal liability, such as the ability to be held accountable, guilt, and the absence of legal excuses.

Analysis of Legal Protection of Sexual Violence Against Domestic Workers

The existence of Women Workers or Domestic Workers is familiar in Indonesia both in urban and rural areas. The government's lack of attention to domestic workers, the majority of whom are women, has made many of them victims of violent crimes. This study aims to determine the legal protection of domestic workers who get sexual violence and find out the criminal sanctions obtained by perpetrators of sexual violence. This type of research is qualitative research using a normative approach, which includes a statutory approach (statute approach) and a conceptual approach (conceptual approach). The sources of legal materials used are primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary materials. The legal material that has been collected is then reviewed systematically and classified to produce a conclusion. The results showed that explicitly domestic workers who are victims of domestic violence receive protection from several laws and regulations but do not specifically regulate the form of protection, both related to employment relations, discrimination, violence, wages, and so on. Unlike Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence and the Criminal Code, both preventive and repressive means protection for domestic workers as part of their family. Criminal sanctions in Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence are formulated alternatively, namely imprisonment or fines. This means that perpetrators of domestic sexual violence can be subject to imprisonment or fines.

La formation des professionnels en psychiatrie légale : résultats d’une enquête en Occitanie

ObjectivesSince the enactment of the French law of 4 March 2002, patients’ rights have been the subject of constant legislative evolution and particular attention from many independent administrative authorities. In psychiatry, these have led to numerous legal reforms over the years. Moreover, psychiatry is a medical specialty with abundant, long-standing and more than ever topical interactions with the judicial system (psychiatric care without consent, isolation and restraint, court-ordered care, psychiatric care in prisons, treatment of perpetrators of sexual violence, judicial expertise or the question of lack of criminal responsibility due to a mental disorder). In response to the many legal questions asked by medical and paramedical teams, and to the growing interest in research in forensic psychiatry, a unit called EPL (Espace de Psychiatrie Légale) was created, composed of a multidisciplinary team, based in the department of Haute-Garonne, France. In order to adjust its scope of intervention, a questionnaire was distributed to mental health professionals to assess their training needs in forensic psychiatry. In this article, we aim to present and discuss the results of this survey. MethodsWe used a self-assessment survey designed by the multidisciplinary team of the EPL and which was filled out online by the respondents. The target population was all the professionals working in mental health facilities, members of the FERREPSY Occitanie research federation. The questionnaire consisted of several sections relating to the respondents, the typology of patients under their care, the professionals’ daily practice, and training in and knowledge of forensic psychiatry. We included some open-ended questions on the situations encountered that may have presented difficulties and on the impact of legislative changes on the daily practice of professionals. All responses were analyzed anonymously. ResultsFrom 05/05/21 to 17/07/21, 155 professionals responded. Most of them were psychiatrists (32.3%), healthcare managers (20.6%) or nurses (18.7%). The majority were women (78.7%) and had been working in Haute-Garonne for more than 5 years (74.2%). 56.1% of the professionals worked in outpatient units, 37.4% in inpatient wards and 74.8% in adult psychiatry. This questionnaire revealed a strong need for training in forensic psychiatry. Indeed, 94.8% of respondents wanted to receive training in forensic psychiatry, which contrasts with the number of people who had already received training in this area (15.5% in initial training, 32.3% in continuing education). The results highlighted that the most common forensic situations encountered in daily clinical practice concerned areas where professionals considered their knowledge to be insufficient. In addition, the self-assessment scales used were able to highlight specific training topics that should be developed. ConclusionsThe results of this survey therefore establish a basis for making adjustments to future educational interventions involving forensic psychiatry, which, although it has only recently emerged in France, embraces issues that have always concerned the management of patients receiving psychiatric care.

Analisis Yuridis Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Tenggarong Nomor 29/Pid.Sus-Anak/2017/Pn.Trg Tentang Anak Sebagai Pelaku Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual

Cases of criminal acts involving children are very common. One of them is the case of sexual violence committed by minors. This can happen for various reasons. One of them is the lack of supervision from parents, inadequate access to sexual education for children, and also the lack of control over technological developments in internet use. The purpose of this study was to analyze the decision of the Tenggarong District Court Number 29/Pid.Sus-Anak/2017/Pn .Trg concerning Children as Perpetrators of Sexual Violence is in accordance with Law no. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System. The benefit of this research is that the author hopes that this research can provide insight as a reference and reference material for the community and academics to increase knowledge in enriching the science of juvenile criminal justice. The research method that the author uses is normative juridical using a case approach. The results of this study explain that the judge's consideration of the actions of child perpetrators is sentenced to 1 year in prison and 6 months of job training. However, this does not take into account Law Number 71 paragraph 3 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. that children cannot be sentenced to cumulative penalties, namely fines and imprisonment. Fines can only be replaced by job training. The analysis of the legal material used is deductive reasoning analysis, namely the preparation using a hypothesis or temporary answer. Meanwhile, this study applies a general to specific pattern.

The views of victim/survivors of sexual violence about perpetrator post-release measures

ABSTRACT People convicted of sexual offences are increasingly subject to a range of post-prison measures designed to reduce their risk of reoffending, including civil commitment, public offender registers, electronic monitoring and Circles of Support and Accountability. The views of a range of stakeholders, including policy-makers, legislators, and perpetrators themselves, have previously been documented about these measures. However, very little research has sought to document victim/survivors’ views, despite victim/survivors having a vested interest in the efficacy of such measures. This study began to address this gap by investigating the views of victim/survivors of sexual violence about post-release measures for perpetrators. To do this, the research reported here involved conducting semi-structured qualitative interviews with 33 victim/survivors of sexual violence. The research found that victim/survivors favor post-release measures that reflect either purely consequentialist or a hybrid of consequentialist and deontological motivations. The study’s findings will be of relevance to legislators and policy-makers, who increasingly see value in incorporating the views of victim/survivors into the development of measures designed to respond to perpetrators of sexual violence.

Disrupting the carceral narrative of gender-based and sexual violence

This discussion seeks to critically explore the white, colonial narrative of gender-based and sexual violence that has justified and facilitated increased carceral power in responding to the social issue. In particular, I aim to emphasise the ways in which carcerality obscures the complex histories and dynamics of gender-based and sexual violence in order to individualise and privatise the problem. To demonstrate these dynamics, I will analyse: (1) the characterisation of perpetrators of gender-based and sexual violence as violent ‘Others’; (2) the centring of white women’s narratives in justifying increases to carceral power and implementing criminalising policies; (3) the extension of the carceral gaze through social work service provision; and (4) the fallacies of postfeminism facilitated by carceral logics. This discussion will conclude with exploring the possibilities of abolitionist social work and anti-carceral feminism in challenging the white narrative and creating space for partial histories to emerge.

Healthcare workers’ perceptions of sexual violence during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Eastern Cape

Background: The South African government implemented lockdown restrictions in order to prevent the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).Aim: This study explored the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on sexual violence in the Eastern Cape province through the lens of healthcare workers’ (HCWs) experiences.Setting: A Thuthuzela care centre in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.Methods: This qualitative study brings together the findings from thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted among 11 purposively selected HCWs in May 2022.Results: Overall, three themes emerged from the study: the effects of COVID-19 on sexual violence, profile of the survivors and recommendations for combating sexual violence in the region. Most respondents believed that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in the incidence of sexual violence, although all acknowledged that movement restrictions affected reporting. The participants treated mostly black women and children’s survivors, who experienced physical injuries simultaneously. The respondents’ narratives revealed that educational campaigns targeting boys and men could reduce sexual violence in the region. In addition, it was recommended that stricter laws and harsher penalties would serve as deterrents for perpetrators of sexual violence in the country.Conclusion: The COVID-19 lockdown restrictions exposed the vulnerabilities of black women and children to sexual violence in the study setting. Educational programmes aimed at re-orientating boys and men in both rural and urban communities should be implemented.Contributions: This study provides an insight into the perceived effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on sexual violence in the Amathole district and South Africa.

Implications of sexual fantasy characteristics and memory intensity for harmful sexual behaviour.

Sexual fantasies and memories are aetiological considerations in the perpetration of sexual violence, but fantasy-memory-behaviour relationships may be influenced by various factors, including sexual fantasy and memory phenomenology, that are the properties of mental imagery. To investigate differences in sexual fantasy phenomenology and sexual memory intensity in men who report a history of harmful sexual behaviour compared to those who do not. We also investigated whether the likelihood of reporting harmful sexual intent was related to sexual memory intensity, independently of age and harmful sexual behaviour history. An online cross-sectional survey design was used, focusing on men aged ≥18years who were recruited from the general population via social media. The survey prompted participants to envisage a favoured sexual fantasy, then obtained data on fantasy phenomenology, including vividness and sensations, and arousal level. In addition, information was requested about sexual memory intensity and harmful sexual behaviour history and intent. A total of 322 men completed the survey. Multiple Welch's t-tests showed that men self-reporting one or more harmful sexual behaviours, such as rape or child sexual abuse, gave significantly higher ratings of sexual fantasy phenomenology but not fantasy frequency or masturbation. They were also more likely to report higher sexual memory intensity. Although the significance of fantasy phenomenology varied between subgroups, binary logistic regression indicated that age, history of harmful sexual behaviour and sexual memory intensity were each independently associated with harmful sexual intent. Our findings provide new insights into the importance of fantasy phenomenology, demonstrating nuanced differences between those with and without a history of harmful sexual behaviour and illustrating that memory intensity is associated with harmful sexual behaviour intent. Further research into these differences in the context of assessment and intervention for sexual violence perpetration is warranted.

5·18 당시 계엄군에 의한 여성 성폭력 사건에 대한 국제형사재판소(ICC) 및 국내법원에의 제소 가능성

State-level investigations into state violence that occurred during the May 18 Democratization Movement were conducted several times. So far, the investigation has focused on the truth about excessive suppression, firing and shooting from helicopters by martial law forces. However, the fact-finding of the case of sexual violence against women committed by martial law troops at that time was not properly investigated. In this situation, courageous testimonies of women victims of sexual violence were reported in the media, including the Hankyoreh Newspaper, Yonhap News and SBS Broadcasting in May 2018. As a result, society became aware of the seriousness of the problem.
 The Ministry of National Defense, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family launched the “Joint Investigation Team for Sexual Violence by the May 18 Martial Law Forces” in June 2018. As a result of the investigation, a number of violations of women's human rights, such as sexual harassment, were found, including 17 cases of sexual assault by martial law troops at the time. And the May 18 Democratization Movement Truth Committee, which was launched in January 2020, is closely investigating cases of sexual violence against women by martial law forces. According to the May 18 committee's investigation results, at least two of the victims of sexual assault were revealed to be high school girls, and it was found that group sexual assault occurred at least twice.
 In particular, after the results of the investigation by the Joint Investigation Team were announced in 2018, the public demanded that not only the direct perpetrators of sexual violence, but also the commanders of related units be identified and punished criminally. It is expected that the demand for such criminal punishment for those involved will increase even more after the results of the investigation by the May 18 committee are finally announced.
 In this regard, the statute of limitations has been completed at the present time. Therefore, there is no longer a right to prosecute, and criminal punishment is impossible. On the other hand, some have suggested that cases of sexual violence against women by martial law forces can be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court(ICC) because they fall under Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. In addition, even if it is difficult to prosecute the ICC, there is a view that the perpetrators of sexual violence can be prosecuted and punished in domestic courts based on the criminality of ‘crime against humanity’, which was an international crime in 1980, based on customary international law.
 Therefore, in this paper, first, in relation to the case of sexual violence against women by martial law troops at the time of the May 18, the results of the Joint Investigation Team's investigation of sexual violence against women by martial law troops were briefly reviewed(Ⅱ). Second, as a result of the investigation by the Joint Investigation Team and the May 18 committee, if the substantive true of the case of sexual violence against women by martial law forces was revealed, and the direct perpetrators and related martial law commanders were identified, the possibility of prosecuting them to the International Criminal Court was reviewed(Ⅲ). Thirdly, if criminal punishment through the International Criminal Court is difficult for the relevant person, the possibility of prosecuting them in a domestic court and punishing them was reviewed(Ⅳ).

Pembaharuan Sanksi Tindakan Kebiri Kimia Terhadap Pelaku Kekerasan Seksual Oleh Paedofil

The purpose of this research is to describe chemical castration sanctions that need to be renewed. This research uses a legal approach and a conceptual approach. Chemical castration raises pros and cons in its application as an action sanction, where the sanction has an educational nature, not as a form of retaliation. Chemical castration sanctions are applied to perpetrators of sexual violence against children. Even though it has been classified for anyone who can receive sanctions in the form of chemical castration, the rule does not mention what if the perpetrator is classified as a pedophile, where a pedophile is an adult who repeatedly performs sexual acts with prepubertal children. There needs to be scientific research related to how pedophiles can be stopped or cured because if seen from what is called a pedophile and the prohibitions mentioned in the child protection law are the same. The concept of renewing sanctions that must then exist is where the application of chemical castration is abolished and replaced with rehabilitation, but it is necessary to conduct research on whether these perpetrators are classified as pedophiles. carry out the punishment that is in effect today, because the possibility of the perpetrator committing the act repeatedly is quite high considering that chemical castration is not permanent like conventional castration is permanent. If possible, there will be new regulations in the form of revisions to laws and/or issuance of government regulations.

Pemberatan Pidana dalam Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual Terhadap Penyandang Disabilitas

This study aims to analyze legal protection for persons with disabilities as victims of sexual violence and the best formulation of criminal sanctions for perpetrators of sexual violence against persons with disabilities. The research method used in this study is normative juridical research with a problem approach, namely the statutory approach, the conceptual approach, and the case approach. Having a disability status in Indonesia has not been fully accepted and appreciated by other normal humans. They are still considered different and are often bombarded with insults and inappropriate behavior such as sexual violence. The results of the study show that the high number of victims of sexual violence among persons with disabilities ranges from adolescence to various genders. Then the DPP PPDI stated that they seemed to be walking alone in fighting for justice for the weak position of persons with disabilities as victims of sexual violence without special attention from the State. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new article to enforce legal protection for victims as well as their right to receive treatment, both short-term and long term after experiencing sexual violence and to increase the effectiveness of castration for perpetrators of sexual violence against persons with disabilities.

DEATH PENALTY FOR PERPETRATORS OF CHILD SEXUAL VIOLENCE (CASE STUDY OF DECISION NUMBER 5642 K/PID.SUS/2022)

The increasing number of cases of sexual violence against minors has made the government required to make new regulations regarding child protection in order to deter the perpetrators. This study aims to explain the application of the death penalty against perpetrators of sexual violence against children in the perspective of law and legal experts as well as the judge's consideration in deciding the criminal case. The object used in this research is Judge Decision Number 5642 K/PID.SUS/2022 and the law regarding the application of the death penalty against child sex offenders. The type of data used is secondary data obtained from legal literature sources regarding child protection and sexual violence. The method used to analyze this research is normative qualitative research method. The application of the death penalty according to the law does not violate the existing rules but is a punishment that has been regulated in it. Another case with one of the legal experts in the field of human rights who stated that the application of the penalty does not reflect the protection of human rights and overrides the interests of protecting the rights of victims.
