Authors:	Easteal, Patricia White, Jessica
Keywords:	Sexual violence;Legal processes;Judicial processes;Legal issues;Australia;Intimate partner violence
Year:	2016
Citation:	Vol. 5, no. 11
Notes:	"Focuses on intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) and the Australian legal response, using recent Court judgements and Heather Wishik's feminist jurisprudence framework for inquiry to guide investigation. The key questions asked are: (1) What have been and what are now all women's experiences of IPSV addressed by the substance and process of rape law? (2) What assumptions, descriptions, assertions and/or definitions of consent, corroboration and reporting does the law make in IPSV matters? (3) What is the area of mismatch, distortion or denial created by the differences between women's life experiences of IPSV coercion and the law's assumptions or imposed structures? (4) What patriarchal interests are served by the mismatch? Concludes with consideration of the limitations and benefits of law reform by reflecting on the findings of the paper."
