Toei's top teen sexpots Reiko Ike and Miki Sugimoto were great rivals and the plot seems calculated to further fuel that rivalry. The leads spend almost every scene lashing at each other like a couple of alley cats, from the prison knife-fight where they're bound together by a rope between their teeth, to the nasty torture scene where Miki stubs a cigarette on captive Reiko's nipples. An act that repulses even the hardboiled yakuza, except it's a pretext for Masayo to help Maki escape. For all the sadism, we are meant to admire the girls' gutsy, never say die, fighting spirit. An ethos born from Toei Films, the studio founded by onetime yakuza. Of course, this is also a softcore sex opus, so we have loads of lingering nude scenes as Maki beds a series of lovers to earn cash for her revenge spree, while Oba and Mayumi go at it with sweaty abandon. Where "Pinky Violence" movies usually stand out from the sex film ghetto is in their ability to weave intricate plots. This does so quite skilfully, moving from one off-kilter set-piece to another until the final epic punch-up between Reiko and Miki - interspersed with breathless declarations of admiration. Honestly ladies, why not just shag and be done with it?

Criminal inquiries opened after woman shot in Paris train station Criminal inquiries opened after woman shot in Paris train station

A fitting rejoinder to Carlen's 'Criminal Women', this engaging collection offers real insights into the lived experiences of women involved in our criminal justice system and the chasm that remains between the criminal and social justice responses." Jane Scoular, University of Strathclyde There are very few female serial killers, by which I mean people who successively murder strangers. When the nurse Beverley Allitt stood trial in 1993 for the killing of babies and young children, the public were horrified. She was diagnosed as suffering from Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy, in which women use the ostensibly caring role of mother, nurse or nanny to inflict harm on children. While she was clearly shown to be highly disturbed and dangerous, the degree to which her offences were treated with disbelief and then moral panic reflected the extent to which she, as a nurse caring for children, had shattered the image of womanhood held most sacred by the general public. These two knife-wielding women have been jailed after they threatened a man they had both been in a relationship with outside of a Tyneside hospital. In 1994, Hindley published a statement, begging for forgiveness: “After 30 years in prison, I think I have paid my debt to society and atoned for my crimes. I ask people to judge me as I am now, and not as I was then.”In this inspiring and topical collection, scholars from the Criminal Women Voice, Justice and Recognition Network imaginatively bring to the fore the important voices and experiences of women in conflict with the law.” Loraine Gelsthorpe, University of Cambridge Soon after, Hussain took a young Syrian woman half Jones’s age as his second wife. Most of the fighters had more than one wife, but they usually took and enslaved Yazidi, Christian or Shia women. Jones boasted on social media of her wonderful life under the caliphate. encounters: Challenges and opportunities. In Dobash, R. & Dobash (eds) Rethinking violence against women.

Rafter and Gibson’s new edition of Criminal Woman is a vital resource for a diverse range of researchers and students. They effectively demonstrate that a new translation was long overdue, and adjustments can be made to textbooks and courses on criminology in the light of it.” — Lizzie Seal , Crime, Law and Social Change The study’s findings suggest that gender stereotyping by judges was the main driver of the sentencing gender gap. Drawing on wider evidence from the US, Philippe points to the influence of paternalism among male judges, who may view women as fragile and perhaps less able to cope with prison.There seems to be a sexiness about the combination of young women and power; the words “cold”, “calculating” and “ruthless” are often juxtaposed with “attractive”, “vivacious” and “pretty”. In many of the cases of IRA activity involving women, male police officers, lawyers, judges and reporters were titillated by images of the Armalite rifle in feminine hands – but also fearful of its implications. Running through the cases is a sense of horror that women should use the very attributes that make them so appealing to men to undermine their guard. It is impossible to fathom what corruption or disturbance of the human spirit can account for the horrible crimes Ian Brady and Hindley committed, and no lawyer is going to be able to provide the answers.

Karuna Nundy is an Indian Supreme Court lawyer who has also worked in the United States. Constitutional law, commercial litigation, arbitration, legal policy, and media law are her key areas of interest. The Times of India recognized her as one of three women leading a new wave, with Vrinda Grover and Arundhati Roy. She aspired to make a significant difference in India. Nevertheless, my experience of seeing the human cost when legal standards are lowered and wrongful convictions follow has taught me the imperative of keeping the bar high. The profound misogyny of Isis means that some of these women will themselves have been victims of terrible abuse, and will have been subjected to duress and coercion. The legal system will have the difficult role of charting a course through uncorroborated accounts, fragile evidence and strong public hostility to determine where real guilt lies. This is the complex terrain of justice, and it requires our utmost vigilance.
