| Notes: | This paper examines gender and language, within the context of the criminal justice system. It shows how the language used by legal systems in the areas of domestic violence and sexual assault can serve to minimise the violence and silence the voice of the woman. The paper concludes that legal constructs continue to negate women’s understandings of reality. |
