Is justice possible for a woman raped in contemporary patriarchal culture? This book explores one of the major conundrums of our time: given all the feminist activism and reforms of the last 50 years, why does rape remain so prevalent and justice so elusive? In exploring these questions, Jan Jordan takes us back into the patriarchal origins of our rape culture in order to trace the connections between past laws and current justice realities. Her examination covers developments in police and court processes and explores the connections between men, masculinity, and rape before considering the scope of rape prevention. She argues the need for urgent transformation of the rape-condoning cultures that currently make it impossible for rape prevalence to abate or for rape victims to receive justice.

In Tackling Rape Culture: Ending Patriarchy, Jan Jordan asks why, despite decades of feminist activism, does rape culture remain so endemic within contemporary society. She argues that, in order to understand the global pandemic of sexual violence, we must view rape culture as a consequence of the social divisiveness that emerges from the logic of patriarchy. In advancing this argument, Jordan offers a comprehensive indictment of the patriarchal system while recognising also women's efforts to resist its edicts. Jordan critically explores two mechanisms that she argues are central to the maintenance and reproduction of rape culture - silencing and objectification. Both are examined as patriarchal strategies that have been relied on for centuries to control and constrain women's lives, silencing their voices and keeping them as 'othered' outsiders in a male-defined world. Women throughout history have sought ways to resist such control and, since the second-wave women's movement of the 1970s, this has included multiple initiatives both offline and more recently online. While #MeToo is being hailed by many as evidence that the silencing of women's voices about rape has finally been broken, Jordan urges a more critical appraisal given the continued dominance of patriarchal thinking. To end rape culture, Jordan argues, we must end patriarchy. This timely and provocative book, which complements Jordan's Women, Rape and Justice: Unravelling the Rape Conundrum (Routledge, 2022), will be of great interest to researchers, students, practitioners and activists seeking to understand and challenge the pervasive rape culture characterising contemporary patriarchal society.

More than 15 years have passed since the law regarding sex workers in New Zealand has changed. As a model it has been endorsed as best practice by international organisations, leading scholars and sex worker-led organisations. Yet in some corners, speculation is ongoing regarding its impacts on the ground. Written by an international group of experts, this groundbreaking collection provides the much needed in-depth research into how decriminalisation is playing out in sex workers' lives and how different groups of sex workers are experiencing it, while uncovering the challenges and tensions that remain to be negotiated in this field. Using the evidence from New Zealand, it makes an invaluable contribution to the international debates regarding sex work laws and the global struggle to realise sex workers' rights.

Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 2,0, VWA-Studienakademie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Arbeit wird darauf eingegangen wie man eine sichere Investition durchfuhrt bzw. unter welchen Gesichtspunkten in der Betriebswirtschaftslehre eine Investition als Vorteilhaft oder Unvorteilhaft empfunden wird und dadurch entschieden, ob eine bestimmte Investition uberhaupt durchgefuhrt wird. Haufig werden Investitionen getatigt, ohne das diese eine Vorteilhaftigkeit mit sich bringen, im Gegenteil, haufig werden Gelder in Projekten angelegt welche am Ende statt einen Gewinn, einen Verlust erzielen. Ein Grund dafur ist, dass viele Unternehmen ihre Investitionsvorhaben nicht mit wissenschaftlichen Methoden durchkalkulieren. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, dem Leser zu verdeutlichen, dass es bei einer Investition nicht nur darum geht, am Ende einer Investition mehr Geld einzunehmen als ausgegeben wurde, sondern auf andere Aspekte eingegangen werden sollte so wie z.B. unterschiedliche Investitionsalternativen gegenuber zu stellen, um zu sehen, welche Investition tatsachlich vorteilhafter ist. In den folgenden Kapiteln dieser Arbeit, wird genau erklart, was betriebswirtschaftlich unter einer vorteilhaften Investition zu verstehen ist und welche unterschiedlichen Methoden es gibt, um Investitionsalternativen zu bewerten. Ausserdem wird auf das Thema Unsicherheit eingegangen und erlautert mit welchen Methoden man eine Unsicherheit im Bezug auf eine Investition eingehen kann
