Despite this, substantial gaps exist in our understanding of the real – as opposed to theoretical – risks of discrimination when these systems are deployed. This article reports on findings from qualitative empirical research investigating the use of AHSs by Australian employers. It demonstrates that the way in which these systems are operated in practice creates serious risks of algorithm-facilitated discrimination. This may arise from the data, the use of proxies, the system's implementation, new structural barriers, a failure to provide reasonable adjustments, or the facilitation of intentional discrimination. These findings are significant, make an original contribution to an emerging field of research, and are relevant in any jurisdiction where an AHS is in use. There is a lot at stake when such discrimination occurs; as one research participant acknowledged, a ‘job application is literally a person's attempt to change their life with a new job’.","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 2","pages":"269-291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.12535","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with judges, prosecutors, defence lawyers, and complainants’ counsels. The findings suggest that while professionals assert that attributions of moral guilt to complainants are rare, complainants may perceive blame due to misinterpretation of legally relevant questions. Undue attribution of moral guilt occasionally occurs, particularly during defence cross-examination. Strategies to mitigate the risk of blame include ensuring that hearings are respectful and fact oriented, addressing victim-blaming issues in professional development courses, and preparing complainants prior to hearings. In our study, the attribution of moral guilt predominantly centred on rape cases, which may be due to historical discourse and sensitivity surrounding sexual assault cases. The study highlights the need for further research into mechanisms of attributing moral guilt to complainants and into sources of tension that contribute to negative experiences for complainants.","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 2","pages":"229-248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.12530","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Section 2 outlines the origins of rap and its policing, going on to explain why rap music should be interpreted as an art form. In Section 3, the policing of rap in England is chronicled, focusing mainly on grime and drill, but also on rap outside London and in the United States. Section 4 asks whether rap music causes crime; having established that the evidence does not support this conclusion, the article determines that the policing of rap in England amounts to cultural policing underpinned by an ideological state response to social insecurity. Finally, Section 5 considers the consequences of the policing of rap for Black communities, leading to a call for the state to reinterpret rap and recognize its value in informing policy and as a fixture within educational curricula. Throughout, the lyrics of rappers themselves take centre stage as a form of critical thought.","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"52 2","pages":"181-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.12532","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
