| Description | The publication „Downplaying and Inequalities“ presents a social-scientific reflection of gendered and sexual violences and the reproduction of gender stereotypes in the texts of court judgments. It is a qualitative analysis of 72 judgment texts from 2019-20 in cases of rape and domestic violence. A set of anonymized judgments provided by the proFem organization was analysed. The analysis focused on how perpetrators and victims of crimes are portrayed in the judgments, how punishments are justified and how the court treats the statements of individual actors or what weight it gives to expert opinions. Based on these sources, the analysis highlights the practice of the courts and indicates when and how the Czech judicial system tends to reproduce gender stereotypes and when it overcomes them. The text captures how the societal setting is reflected in court practice. |
