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
