         <description><![CDATA[<div>Women as victims are more prevalent than men and often attitudes towards women victims trivialise the act of violence or blame the victim for the occurrence of a violent or sexual assault. The social values that are accepted as the norm allow for men's violence against women to become portrayed as an insignificant matter and is often used for entertainment purposes in music, television, advertising and media in general. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As discussed by Powell and Webster 2016) violence supportive attitudes are prevalent in today's society and are becoming the social norm. They define this as being able to: <br><br>“Justify , excuse, minimise or trivialise physical, sexual and other forms of violence against women, or blame or hold women at least partly responsible for violence perpetrated against them”<br>These attitudes are making it difficult for women to report violence committed against them or for the perpetrators to receive the punishment they deserve. <br><br><strong>"Minimise, blame and deny"</strong> are the three main attitudes underlying the culture supporting men's use of violence against women (Powell and Webster, 2016).</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is not surprising to read these statistics:</div><div>“Of the 469 most recent incidents of physical or sexual assault in the last two years perpetrated by an intimate partner, less than one in three incidents were reported to the police” (Stavrou, Poynton, &amp; Weatherburn, 2016). <br><br></div><div>It shows that the culture surrounding men’s use of violence towards women is one where women don’t feel they have support by justice professionals or are believe they are unable to obtain help and feel they are highly judged by society when it comes to victim blaming. This shows that there is a lack of support for violence against women.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Even in pop music targeted for young girls, rape culture is being subliminally represented.  Katy Perry songs even have messages about sex and rape even when they are targeted for girls often aged between 10 and 15. A lot of rap songs contain messages about sex and rape, however a pop singer like Katy Perry is a role model for young women and promoting this promiscuous behaviour is allowing women to be objectified and violence against women become an acceptable norm in society. <br><br></div><div>The lyrics to the song E.T by Katy Perry are explained in the article "WTH, Katy Perry: E.T. Promotes…Rape?" (link below) by Niki Arrowsmith and surprisingly have strong references to sexual violence. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Society’s values and beliefs often lead to the development of social opinions that lead to the trivialisation of rape and assault against women in general. This in turn leads to underreporting of assault and rapes against women as they believe they will be dismissed or branded as liars or the man involved will be excused. Is it worth reporting if the criminal justice system is not going to respond fairly anyway?&nbsp; (Deming, Covan, Swan, &amp; Billings, 2013)</div><div>Rape myths: <strong>It’s all the woman’s fault.<br><br></strong>Comments regarding the cause of rape often include statements like “she asked for it,” “it wasn’t really rape,” “he didn’t mean to do it,” “she wanted it,” or “she lied” (Deming, Covan, Swan, &amp; Billings, 2013).&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The image below found as a meme on Facebook is a statement that can be taken as a serious insult to women victims of sexual harassment and violence, indicating that it is their fault. On the other hand a light-hearted view may dismiss this with people seeing it as a statement on the lack of clothing women wear out in public. It all depends on the opinion of the reader. <br><br><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:242,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/LkHdiYE5cOCaC4HOLp0mwJtCztD90Dg60tWA9J-dMJX4mm1_Z2Kx0YzrbNfiKkVaXa2A7VTosbofmZO6yltWXpzMEqoZbB_MZA=w1366-h637&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:305}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/LkHdiYE5cOCaC4HOLp0mwJtCztD90Dg60tWA9J-dMJX4mm1_Z2Kx0YzrbNfiKkVaXa2A7VTosbofmZO6yltWXpzMEqoZbB_MZA=w1366-h637" width="305" height="242"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"According to a review of police statistics domestic violence constituted 19.3 per cent of all forms of violence against females and 1.5 per cent of violence against men" (Mulroney &amp; Chan, 2005). How accurate are these statistics as reporting rates vary significantly throughout society?<br><br>Women and men often do not report rape or other forms of assault for different reasons. The gender role expectations placed on men by society enforce the fact that it is unmanly to express emotions or show signs of weakness, “Male victims may experience being raped as even more humiliating than female victims” (Pino &amp; Meier, 1999). The article "Gender Differences in Rape Reporting" by Pino and Meier (1999) explains the differences in male vs. female rape reporting and the reasons behind the gap in reporting rates between the sexes. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"<strong>Commonly men are embarrassed"&nbsp; <br>                                </strong>(Mulroney &amp; Chan, 2005).</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Negative attitudes from wider society towards male rape influence the way in which the rape is handled and responded to by not only other people in society, but also police and criminal justice professionals (Javaid, 2017). Getting help, support and justice is usually difficult for male victims. (Javaid, 2017)<br><br></div><div>Men as victims’ often go more unnoticed than women victims. The ideal concept of the hegemonic male ideology expected by society puts a lot of pressure on men to act and be perceived as tough and masculine and are therefore reluctant to admit if they are a victim of domestic or sexual assault. Being victimised as a man results in “making one feel powerless, inadequate, and emasculated” (Javaid, 2017). </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article "Male Rapists Are Victims Too!" written by a female, has an extreme view on the reasons behind why males may commit violent attacks and states that the perpetrator themselves is the victim from the pressures society has placed on males. The feeling of powerlessness felt by men as they are put under stress to provide as breadwinners encourages them to express their dominance over women.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Much more awareness surrounding the occurrence of male victimisation needs to be made and help provided to victims. Ad campaigns like this video are made to show society the differences between the reactions towards female and male domestic violence and how each gender is treated differently. Men and women should be treated equally.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>More research is needed to obtain evidence regarding victimisation rates and the prevalence of domestic and sexual violence against men (Mulroney &amp; Chan, 2005). Researching this topic of men as victims shows that there is lack of research into this topic and male reporting of violence and assault is much less than the rates for female reporting.<strong><br></strong><a href="https://youtu.be/u3PgH86OyEM"><strong>https://youtu.be/u3PgH86OyEM</strong></a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a graphic representation comparing Australian rates of domestic violence of women and men. Published by a group that has a “mission is to deliver relevant and translatable research evidence which drives policy and practice leading to a reduction in the levels of violence against women and their children” Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety Limited (ANROWS) publications focus on the fact that rate of reported violence against women is much higher than that for men. <br>Interestingly there is no mention however, of reporting rates for men vs. women and the lack of reporting of men’s domestic violence. Men are defined as often being the perpetrators not the victims. Men are therefore targeted as the offenders and victimised. <br>This supports the issue that men are often the forgotten victim, as defined by society's cultural values and beliefs.<br><br><a href="https://www.anrows.org.au/publications/fast-facts-0/violence-against-women-key-statistics%20">https://www.anrows.org.au/publications/fast-facts-0/violence-against-women-key-statistics%20</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Men as victims are highly under recognised throughout society. The social pressures and expectations of the masculine gender role results in men who are victimised often being embarrassed or scared to report domestic or sexual violent attacks. Gay male rape is a significant issue where men are blamed for being the victim, similar to the rape myth culture for females. There is often lack of support for men as they are not seen as vicitms in the same way women are, as they are expected to be strong and powerful in normative gender roles of society. </div>]]></description>

The comment "Don't be such a Loser" can be taken as either an insult to men who may need help or a motivational comment to encourage men to get help. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Men as a group often make it difficult for women to succeed in the more masculine job roles in society, especially those in the criminal justice system. Burdett, Gouliquer, &amp; Poulin (2018) discuss some of the negative attitudes such as double standards of performance, occupational socialisation, the boys club and the devaluing of feminine traits, which women face in the corrections system. “Men correctional officers assume that women lack the mental and physical toughness for the work, and fear they will engage in inappropriate sexual conduct with inmates and demonstrate less respect and credibility” (Burdett, Gouliquer, &amp; Poulin, 2018).&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The judgements placed on women such as men perceiving women as “a threat to safety and control because they are physically weaker” (Crouch, 1985) or women having less physical strength than males and bringing their sexuality into the workplace resulting in women being more vulnerable to violence or fostering violence&nbsp; (Crouch, 1985).&nbsp;<br><br>This is similar in the police force.  “Policing was seen as requiring symbolic authority and physical force that only males could exercise” (Prenzler &amp; Sinclair, 2013). The stereotypes of the jobs in the police force and corrections are created by society’s view on the gender roles of men and women in everyday life.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Other considerations for women in the workplace especially in the police force are the stereotypical gender roles women are expected to play in their home life, finding it difficult to work longer hours and shift work as required (Irving, 2009).&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><h1>Women are often portrayed in the media and on television programs in stereotypical ways. As discussed in the article “Criminal Justice “Hollywood Style”” (DeTardo-Bora, 2009), even the women working in the criminal justice system on TV are stereotyped according to the expectations of the social norms regarding gender roles. Women characters are often “depicted as being dependent, subordinate to authority, and less verbally aggressive” (DeTardo-Bora, 2009). </h1><div><br></div><h1>This can ultimately lead to influence young audiences to develop ideas and beliefs of “what it means to be a man or woman” here in the criminal justice profession (DeTardo-Bora, 2009). This can ultimately lead to the opinion that females do not play the same role or have the same opportunities as males to work and perform in the criminal justice system which is not the case at all. </h1>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Why are there more men than women in the police force? Policing is often seen as “requiring symbolic authority and physical force that only males could exercise” (Prenzler &amp; Sinclair, 2013). This masculine stereotype has been socially constructed as women are viewed as the weaker sex. However support for more women in the police force is becoming more evident. One benefit of women in the criminal justice system includes women being more respectful and supportive of victims, whilst men often provoke resistance and aggression, escalating situations (Porter &amp; Prenzler, 2017). <strong><br></strong><br></div><div>From 1996 to 2006 women in the Australian police force has increased from 13.5% to 23% (Irving, 2009). <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The article “Do Women Make Better Judges?” discusses the lack of women judges. The differences in life experiences in male vs. females is considered to impact the professional standards of the judge and here women are often seen as having better life perspectives, therefore making better judgmental decisions (Choi, Gulati, Holman, &amp; Posner, 2009). </div><div><br></div><div>Grossman argues that mixed genders are “essential to normative legitimacy because men and women make different contributions to international criminal adjudication.” (Grossman, 2011). A balanced judiciary of men and women can make decisions from the point of view of either sex. <br><br></div><div>A good point regarding this issue is made by McLoughlin stating that gender should not be an issue in the first place as the job of the judicial officer should be always objectionable and unresponsive to social pressures (McLoughlin, 2015). <strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The article “‘Toughen up’: Women working in male prisons face harassment from inmates and co-workers” (Chandler, 2018) discusses the experiences of Taronica White a female corrections officer working in a Florida state prison. </div><div> </div><div>Here the women were victims of harassment by both male inmates and male work colleagues. The Coleman suit became a lawsuit where the women made statements that they were told <strong>“Toughen up,” “Your skin is too thin,” “This is a male institution,” or “You’re ‘too pretty.’” </strong>Women believed the message they were receiving in the corrections workplace was clear “You should not be here.” White stated after the settlement that the aim of the law suit: “I want anyone to know that a female working in any ­male-dominated field should be treated with the same level of respect.” <br><br></div><div>This shows the difficulties and gender stereotypes women often have to overcome when working in a male dominated workplace. <br><br><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/women-working-in-male-prisons-face-harassment-from-inmates-and-co-workers/2018/01/27/21552cee-01f1-11e8-9d31-d72cf78dbeee_story.html?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.3f8ef57eab71">https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/women-working-in-male-prisons-face-harassment-from-inmates-and-co-workers/2018/01/27/21552cee-01f1-11e8-9d31-d72cf78dbeee_story.html?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.3f8ef57eab71</a></div>]]></description>
