According to the CBC news: “In May 1993, Borutski is injured in a car accident” (Nease, 2017). Through textbook written by White, Eisler, and Haines, biological and psychological positivism was a contributing factor to crime.

In “Girl Unprotected”, Sports writer and journalist Laura Robinson argues that if you examine the Judicial system, then you will find a strong bias against victims of hockey abuses with an emphasis against women. Throughout her essay, Robinson uses the case against Mike Danton and the NHL to emphasize the issues of gender inequality and the lack of recognition to the abuses in hockey. In her essay, Laura Robinson begins her argument by claiming that “women’s bodies were only allowed to be adjectives to describe men” (Robinson 326). By doing so, she suggests that women’s bodies are all that the men in hockey care about while their mind’s and talents are ignored and lack in value. To reinforce her thesis, Robinson also includes a quote from a

She discussed the Battered Woman Syndrome and examined its application to ten women's defences in their murder trial; she highlighted its strength and its weaknesses. She dispels different myths surrounding battered women, like why they remain in the relationships, why they do not report the abuse, discounts physical attacks as the only form of abuse and how the imminence of the attacks are not necessary for killing their partner.

They have distinct experiences that separate them from the typical murderer, and these experiences require special attention. She wants to change the public opinions which contribute to the further victimization of battered women and enable these women to receive the necessary assistance they need from the courts and other social

Canadian Women & the Struggle for Equality by Lorna R. Marsden provides a deeper understanding of the struggle women went through to achieve gender equality. She describes in detail the long and increasingly difficult journey that women went through and are still going through to accomplish gender equality. Throughout the book she has certain strengths and few but substantial weaknesses in her writing. While she does provide the reader with plenty of information she fails to make the information relatable and interesting, or to make it stand out from other books that were written on the same topic. Nevertheless, she does provide a lot of supporting evidence for her thesis and thoughtfully organizes the book by theme.

Interactionist Andrei Chikatilo worked alone through out all his killings. He did not share his plans with anyone neither, before or after he committed them. There was no clear person who inspired his actions beside his own discoveries he made about how to satisfy himself. As the interactionalist theory believes failure of self direction and insufficient social roles are the main causes of criminal behaviour, which are highly accurate regarding Andrei Chikatilo, still, he wants power over others more then acceptance in society, as he already has it (class notes). He is prepared to do this alone, as he wants the complete satisfaction for his own extremely personal and private gains, not for the acknowledgment of others.

We were told that this theory is too broad because it explains everything and yet explains nothing. The question of which came first the chicken, or the egg conception is the same of learning is too simplistic. Do we truly learn from those who are closest to us who else can we learn from?

1 Introduction Whether it be due to the ever prominent abuse of alcohol, or to the raging tempers due to everyday stresses of living in South Africa at the present moment, it can be said that perpetual domestic violence has found a place in our society, as those cases are increasingly being reported. The term ‘Battered Women’s Syndrome’ is used when referring to cases regarding a cycle of domestic violence, and through the course of this essay, this Syndrome will be investigated using a variety of sources - including South African and International case law - in order to discover whether, and to what extent, Battered Wives Syndrome constitutes a defence to a charge of murder in terms of South African law. 2 Battered Wives Syndrome A battered wife can be defined as someone – not necessarily a woman – who is subjected to perpetual domestic violence over an extended period of time to the extent that the violence develops into a cycle.
