Social And Cultural Values Of Entexualization Within The Trial System

435 Words2 Pages

The study investigates how the narrative tactic termed “Entexualization” is used through language ideology as a socially, culturally, and historically driven factor in controlling defendants and witnesses not only within the trial system, but also across social contexts via the influence of mass media. The term “Entexualization” has been defined as “the process of rendering discourse extractable of making a stretch of linguistic production into a unit a text that can be lifted out of its interactional setting” (Eades 2012: 475). During the process of “Entexualization”, various social and cultural factors have a great influence on shaping and creating assumptions on ideologies, which lead the jury perceiving or coming to a decision based on claims that may have been influenced by the imbalanced social views of the prosecutions. These biased assumptions eventually contribute to the “inequality” and “imbalance” of social justification. Eades examined Pinkabe case in which three Australian Aboriginal boys being charged for “unlawful deprivation of liberty being laid against the six police officer” after they filed a complaint against those six police officers for being violent and oppressive …show more content…

In the analyzation of part of the three boys’ report about how the police got them into the police cars, the ideologies of “decontextualized fragments”, ”narrator authorship” and “repeated questioning” were used. The use of word “grab” by one of the boys was taken out of its original context and interpreted on its own. Then the ideology of inconsistency was used to support their claim that the inconsistency found in the boys’ statements are based on the texts that are inter-changeably

Similarities Between Millar And Owusu Bempah

1266 Words | 6 Pages

In terms of race, the UCR-2 only accounts for Aboriginal status. Thus, both the UCR and UCR-2 are limited in racial data. An important point made by Millar and Owusu-Bempah is that based on the data they analysed that was obtained via freedom of information request, recording racial data has been on the decline in recent years (2011). Specifically, Canadian police are not only recording less data on Aboriginal status, but race overall. According to the authors, some explanations by the police include race not being a significant factor in legal matters, or the more biased reason being that it is simply not of the police’s interest because revealing such information would work against them, by revealing discriminatory police discretion and practices.

Brave Orchid: The Thematic Power Of Silence

When she was young, her mother (Brave Orchid) cut the frenum of her tongue. Her mother claimed to do it because she did not want her daughter to be “tongue tied” (164), but her efforts did not seem to help Kingston who has a “terrible time talking” (165). At first, she did not recognize her silence as a problem. When she realized that she had to talk in school, “the silence became a misery” (166).

Hallmark Of Tyranny Summary

1179 Words | 5 Pages

Whilst, Mrs Whyte presented the issue fairy and appropriately with a good understanding of the underlying issue of social disadvantage, however, it lacked a sense of urgency and passion for the issue. Bob Gosford’s article “Is the NT’s paperless arrest scheme a new “Hallmark of Tyranny”” (2015), is a great contrast to the opinions presented in mainstream media and is highly critical of the points made by such news outlets as the Sunday Territorian as well as the Attorney General, John Elferink. Gosford uses the ideological framework of social disadvantage to propel other ideals of self determination and liberalism in order to counter act the strong views of neo-colonialism and paternalism held by policy makers. Within this article there is a strong sense of pride and will power to combat these fundamental ideological issues. By using the quotation from the case of Donaldson v Broomby (1981), the reader truly grasps a true understanding Gosford’s passion for the issue and identifies the truly devastating effects of social disadvantage Indigenous Australians face within the criminal justice

Due Process Model And Crime Control Model In The Criminal Justice System

909 Words | 4 Pages

The principle in law that one is innocent until proven guilty has created much discourse. There are those who feel that the moment that one is arrested, there is reasonable belief that they committed the crime. However, there are those who feel that just as the principle states, one is, and should be taken as a victim and the outcome could be either way: guilty or not guilty. In fact, this argument is supported by the many cases of malicious prosecutions and mistaken identities.

Social Control Mechanisms In Australia

For instance, a Queensland study on the ethnicity of young people moved on has found that Indigenous background represent the 37% of respondents, despite the fact that Indigenous youth only accounts for the 4% of Queensland youth population (Spooner 2000, 27). This over-representation may be resulted from the ‘moral panic’ framed in our society and ideal to govern the risk in our society. According to White (1999, 39), the greater surveillance and intervention of Indigenous young people in public places is due to their high levels of contact with the criminal justice system. The overrepresentation of indigenous people in the criminal justice system may cause their generalisation as a greater threat for public order compared to others in society, which may lead their representation as ‘moral panic’ and the increase in community’s anxiety of this group.

Justice may sometimes be cruel and harsh, in being so, however, it is universal for each and every one of us and we defend our rights in the name of it. When certain violations of justice occur individual entities are charged with different cases for which they are called up on a trial. For everyone to get a fair trial, there are some aspects to the law that need to be respected. The likes are: the phenomena of the “due process”, questioning the credibility of the witnesses and the role of advocates' persistency when defending their clients. All of these, together with a great deal of other principals, have to be there for justice to be done to the whole society.
