How is the purpose realised through current regulation and application of the law? What, or what needs, justifies a victim’s involvement in the criminal proceedings? And what does participation mean, both for the individual and for the outcome of the process?

Victims as Plaintiff in criminal procedural law

Background

It is the third year in a row that I submit an application and project description to the department. This year, too, the project is characterized by a victim perspective based on weight-imological research. Over the past year, however, the main focus has shifted from the overall and broader umbrella term[1] of victims [2] to the subcategory, and the procedural figure,  plaintiff[3]. The primary procedural focus of the project is based, in short, on the following. It is relevant to investigate and update the state of knowledge around the concept of plaintiffs. The latest investigation is nearly 50 years old and focused primarily on plaintiff status in prosecutions and trials. A broader study has so far not been carried out in the doctrine of jurisprudence to any great extent. At the same time, the victim perspective has been given an increasing importance in the criminal policy discussion, in the field of behavioural science as well as in both national and international law.  However, comments have also been made on the costs incurred by the rights of the plaintiff in the proceedings, which has also led to legislative changes in this area. The project is not only socially relevant, but also original in that part a broader and more in-depth approach is intended to be taken regarding the purpose, effectiveness and real meaning and function of the plaintiff institute for victims.

Overview

The research project is based on the treatment of the procedural path to victim status. Central to the project is therefore the definition of the plaintiff by the Code of Procedure (RB), which can be found in Chapter 20. Section 8, 4 pcs. The overall aim is to analyse the effectiveness of the plaintiff figure and its raison d’être. In order to do this, it is necessary to examine at least the following issues.

 

  1. What is the purpose of the plaintiff figure?
  2. Has the purpose of regulation changed over time and in line with the development of the right of plaintiffs and the concept of victims of crime?
  • How is the purpose realised through current regulation and application of the law?
  1. What are the other norms regarding victims of crime in criminal, compensation and social legislation, but also in European law?
  2. What, or what needs, justifies a victim’s involvement in the criminal proceedings? And what does participation mean, both for the individual and for the outcome of the process?

[1] Prior to previous years’ application, professors Anna Kaldal, Claes Lernestedt and Mårten Schultz have been told and committed to acting as supervisors and making comments. Ahead of this year’s application, Anna Kaldal has commented on the application.

[2] “Victims of crime” is a difficult-to-define umbrella concept, the material content of which is largely determined, defined, by legal regulation (and application). Contributing to the construction of the ‘victim’ is, in particular, criminal, procedural and compensation regulation. There are also elements, for example, in social and preventive legislation.

o Was it a positive learning experience? Did you learn anything?
o What type of learning experience was it (formal/nonformal/online/community-based/etc.)?
o What was the learning context (informal, self-directed, etc.)?
• Analyze the experience based on one or more of the learning and teaching theories covered in Chapters 6 and 7 of the text.
o Depending on the theory or model (Andragogy/Behaviorism/Teaching through modeling/etc.) selected, what elements were present or lacking from your experience?
o How might the experience have been different or more effective based on the selected theory?
• How is this experience relevant to learning in the workplace? Could it be adapted for a work environment? Why or why not? (If the experience occurred in the workplace, was it a good fit for adult learners? Why or why not?)
• Include at least 3 references – only one can be from the text.

Age Candee. “Age Divisions Are Socially Constructed.” From a Sociological Perspective.

Your first body paragraph should explain what types of scientific or historical underpinnings have been used to bolster your topic as “real” rather than socially constructed. This is also where you explain how you know this concept is a social construct (Does its meaning change over time and/or across cultures? How?) For race, these scientific and historical underpinnings are things like the idea that race is based on important genetic differences. It’s not, but the idea has been used to add credibility to making distinctions and categorizations (like slavery) based on race. We can also tell that race is a social construct because what people think about race has changed over time and is different from culture to culture. Very similar phenomenon have happened for ideas like “gender” and “nation.” This is where you talk about that. This is also where your extra source will come in handy. Your second body paragraph should explain some of the basic characteristics that make up your topic (for race, this would be things like skin color, nose shape, eye shape, hair color and texture, dialect, etc) and why these things are a result of social construction rather than the previously mentioned scientific or historical underpinnings. In this paragraph, you will basically offer a definition of your topic in terms of social construction. You will also explain who this social construct benefits and who it harms within its society (for race, the social construct tends to benefit White people and those with lighter skin tones. It tends to disadvantage everyone else) and why. You will explain how the socially constructed category you are treating impacts and shapes how people experience, behave in, and interpret reality.

Assignment: Data Collection forming hypotheses

What is data collection and how do students demonstrate this with fairy tales?

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.

After you have actively read the whole chapter of your choice including the introduction of the chapter from our TEXTBOOK and ALL tales within that chapter, you must decide on your variables of interest or VALUE. Show me your collection of this data.

1. You can submit graphs, Cornell notes, charts, spread sheets, column notes, etc., what ever format you wish, as long as it is generated on a computer and can be sent easily and opened by me easily.

Identify the Chapter number and title
Identify specific titles and authors’ names as well as page numbers of your data (minimum of 5 tales)
Track your data by noting variables/value (mark the text where you find evidence of this value whether its character description, behavior, dialogue or plot/conflict/action description and development)
Use direct quotations and citation end notes with page numbers like this (Gozenbach 148) (12-15 quotes is average)
Identify how the marked text reflects the VALUE(s) of your focus
Identify the lens(es) you have applied
Note constants and changes among all tales you’ve collected data from (5 minimum) to your valued area throughout 100 years of this trope
How, in what ways, has what you valued (data collected) survived (stayed the same) in this trope over 100 years?
How has what you valued in this trope changed over 100 years?
Why do you think this has changed in that way?
What in modern day do you see reflected, or what do you connect in modern times, presented from YOUR data? When you read your data, what does it make you think of that is relevant, important, interesting, or controversial today with our current knowledge? Align your quoted data (each quote) with HOW you see it as modern day connections. Try out various lenses here!

2. Suggest three possible arguments you make about this chapter based on the value(s), lenses, and evidence you have tracked.

This assignment has to be completed by reading chapter 4 “Hansel and Gretel” fro the book “THe Golden Age of Folk and Fairy Tales from the grimm brothers”
