Four key drivers for leaving (Consequences and Trust, Self-Sacrifice and Worthlessness, Relationship Breakdown, and Dissociation and Depersonalisation – a culture) intersect as powerful detrimental narratives, illustrating damaging organisational expectations of emotional suppression leading to avoidant coping and emotional alienation, with officers expressing a range of dissociative behaviours. Organisational policy and procedures, and the attitude of senior officers and supervisors send clear signals that emotional expression is a weakness.

These provisions were justified by the perceived need to protect personal or family honour. Law 442/1981 repealed them, declaring honour-based justification unacceptable in light of cultural changes in Italian society. Nevertheless, honour still plays a significant role, not only within immigrant communities - brought to judicial attention through cases of young women's murders – but also within Italian society at large. The persisting patriarchal culture uses honour to preserve its power, turning reactions to transgressions of its rules into duties imposed by the family. A case law study on domestic abuse confirms this dynamic: analysis of 194 judgments from the Criminal Court of Milan – the Italian city with the highest percentage of foreign residents – showed that Italian women suffered violence in the name of so-called honour at the hands of their husbands in the same way as immigrant women. Although perpetrators rarely invoke honour explicitly (unlike in some honour killing cases), it clearly emerges as the root cause of violent behaviours aimed at asserting supremacy and hegemonic masculinity, as reflected in victims' testimonies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 100797"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145684764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, we provide an overview of the debates about whether and what role the law might have in addressing family abuse.

Despite evidence indicating the role of domestic violence in female pathways at crime, there is a notable research gap concerning the recidivism processes of women in conflict with the law and the strategies employed at the national level to address this issue. The present article is the first study to examine the experiences of domestic violence among women in conflict with the law in Türkiye, with a focus on recidivism and the impact of the criminal justice system. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with thirteen women under probation using a phenomenological research design. The results demonstrate that women in conflict with the law perceive the processes and outcomes resulting from their disadvantaged social circumstances to be shaped by gendered structural power relations. Concurrently, these conditions are regarded as the constraining element of an unending cycle, whereas the coping mechanism establishes the routes that lead to the criminalization process. Therefore, the criminalization and criminal justice involvement processes should be understood, and their gender-specific needs addressed, to prevent recidivism after the criminal justice process. These findings highlight the need to not only address the causes of crime from a traditional perspective, but also to develop our understanding of the crimes that women perceive as a coping mechanism against violence, the social conditions of disadvantage, the complex structure and solutions to crimes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 100801"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145520127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means that considerably less is known about their post-hire experiences as they continue to navigate the ongoing prospect of disclosure in the workplace. Drawing on empirical research conducted in England and Wales, this paper highlights a juxtaposition between the static criminal record and the fluidity of life experience and identity. The consequences of this for employment will be explored, illustrating how ever-changing national policy and institutional practice creates an unstable working environment for PWCRs. The emotional labour of remaining hyper vigilant to potential disclosure and self-censoring in conversation will be explored, with a discussion of how legally concealing one's criminal record can feel like deceit.

This article examines how prosecutorial sentencing recommendations have redefined the dynamics between prosecutors and judges. Drawing on over 80 in-depth interviews with frontline prosecutors and criminal judges, it finds that while the reform formally strengthened the binding nature of prosecutorial sentencing recommendations and restricted judicial discretion, its implementation reveals a more complex reality. Under pressure from performance evaluations and demands for efficiency, prosecutors and judges often engage in informal pretrial consultations to facilitate the adoption of sentencing recommendations and accelerate case resolution. This cooperative model alleviates tensions over sentencing authority and departs from the traditionally adversarial relationship between prosecution and adjudication. However, this performance-oriented collaboration in sentencing raises deeper institutional concerns, as the erosion of clearly defined boundaries between prosecutorial and judicial functions may substantially compromise procedural safeguards and infringe upon the fundamental rights of the accused.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 100796"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145465945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
