| dc.description.notes | This paper examines the theory behind and some examples of the relationships between gender, language, cognition and perception in the context of the criminal justice system. There is examination of the language of domestic violence and sexual assault and how words and communication styles can affect and are affected by what is thought and believed to be 'reality'. The paper illustrates how the language used to describe violence against women may operate to minimise such events, and the dominant (male) conversational style and female violence victims' style of speech may collide to produce evidentiary issues and a credibility gap. It is argued that there is an inherent dilemma in engaging with legal constructs which continue to negate women's understandings of reality, and that the voices of female rape and domestic violence victims remain muted by the baritone 'voice' of the legal system. | en |
