Motherhood is interpreted through a specific set of socio-cultural norms with mothers needing to be loving, warm, selfless, and protective at all times. Any deviation from these norms can result in harsher sentencing. This article explores the complexity of maternal filicide and, the extent to which gendered constructions of motherhood are used in the South African criminal justice system to sentence women who murder their children. It examines how the dominant narrative identities of the bad/mad/sad mother influence the sentencing of these women and leads to inconsistent sentencing practice within the South African legal framework. By highlighting the disparities in sentencing and the importance of considering contextual information, it calls for reforms to ensure that sentencing aligns with the circumstances of these women, rather than reinforcing stereotypical perceptions of motherhood. It further highlights the need for reform to protect children from filicide.</p>","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Brazil, where it has arguably been most successful, the insignificance principle has purported to be an import of the German <i>Geringfügigkeitsprinzip</i>, originally devised by German criminal jurist Claus Roxin. We will start by comparing the two versions of the principle, emphasizing the possible misunderstandings in the conceptual importation. Then, we will analyse the consequences for the general crime theory of this problematic reception. Finally, we intend to bring to light some of the apparent impasses involved in the application of the insignificance principle. Given that the insignificance principle theory has been developed mostly by a literature focused on practitioners, our main purpose is to take stock of its state and contribute to stimulating a scholarly scrutiny on the matter. We conclude that, despite the confusion with its German namesake and the still unresolved technicalities, the insignificance principle theory has led to an interesting reflection on the relations between fundamental criminal legal principles inherent of the constitutional state and general crime theory. A more solid theoretical basis for excluding from the scope of criminal law conducts that pose little to no threat to society can improve the protection of individual and personal rights within the framework of the principle of human dignity.</p>","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140168872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People charged with homicidal acts supposedly perpetrated under the influence of belief in witchcraft and juju sometimes raise the plea of self-defence or self-defence in conjunction with mistaken belief. Hence, since the latter part of British colonial rule in Africa, particularly the 1930s, the courts in Anglophone Africa have on several occasions been invited to address the question of whether killing suspected witches to repel supposed metaphysical attacks avails to accused persons the plea of self-defence or self-defence based on mistaken belief and, if so, under what conditions. Drawing on case law, statutes, and a range of pertinent academic literature, the present study explores the historical development of the self-defence based on mistaken belief plea in witchcraft-related homicide cases in English-speaking Africa. It examines the African courts’ attitude towards the self-defence against metaphysical witch attacks defence, highlighting the divergent perspectives of various national and regional courts.</p>","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140071195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, authors analyze several laws and court verdicts prohibiting the broadcast of fake news. Authors specifically highlight the latest development namely Penal Code 2023 having recently been passed. By using the framework of protection of a legal interest from harmful behaviour, the results of the analysis reveal that Indonesia’s historical, political, social, and cultural backgrounds justify the prohibition on the broadcast of fake news as a restriction to freedom of expression. This perspective is slightly different compared to the western ideals that prefer to allow negative (or untrue) opinions to be conveyed in the public sphere as long as they do not endanger individual, public order, or even national security. The fake news broadcast offense is a kind of indirect incitement on an autonomous individual to commit an act harming public order. This harm constitutes a remote harm. In order that the criminalization of fake news shall be in accordance with the freedom of expression, this criminalization should be made specifically and strictly. The criminalization shall only be made against a clear and present danger. Unfortunately, after analyzing the provisions of the Penal Code 2023, authors find out that the formulation of the fake news broadcast offense is not specific and not strict; therefore, this is against the freedom of expression. In the end, the applicable law should be improved.</p>","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139981053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
