Labelling theory is a good way to highlight this case but, Critical race theory can also be used here to demonstrate how the law is structurally racist. #CRIM1001
A black male served 44 years of an 80 year sentence for a wrongful conviction by an all white jury. The labelling theory can highlight the harmful effects of repeatedly convicting those of colour of crimes they had never committed #CRIM1001 https://t.co/R5WWbADy1F
A black male served more than 5 years in prison because two cops allegedly planted drugs in his car. Cops targeted him because "he was a black man driving a nice car". Labelling theory shows the pattern of black people being wrongfully convicted. #CRIM1001
He definitely needs to be classified as a registered sex offender ASAP. Instead of just using the interview from the qualitative research method, I would conduct life history research on the man accused and the victim to get as much info about the incident as possible. #CRIM1001
Does crimes committed by powerful people make the crime more serious? We trust teachers, then they abuse their power to commit crimes. Qualitative research: Case studies,Interviews to determine if this is a common occurrence not spoken about due to fear of retaliation. #CRIM1001
@DebbyGulliver I completely agree the way someone is dressed or the way someone acts is not them giving consent. nobody asks to be raped or sexually assaulted. That quote I found in the text fit perfectly to describe the case.

Woman “ask for it” by their dress/behaviour. Officer charged for sexually assaulting a woman who was intoxicated. He gave her a ride home and she allowed him into her house. He took advantage of her vulnerability. She was too intoxicated to give consent.

Hegemonic masculinity rejects anyone who fails to conform to its dominating, violent, and heteronormative landscape (Brooks & Schissel 2015) Gay men often do not fit the patriarchal ideal of a “real man”, one rooted in the domination of men over women #CRIM1001
@cassieehannahh Having to go through the trauma of constantly going to court and seeing the person who assaulted you countless times must be horrible and the fact that this case has been going on for 6 years is insane! There needs to be a change in the system for dealing with this.

Relating to feminist theory, the system to protect women continues to fail. 6 years after sexually assaulting a woman after giving her a ride home on duty & 3 retrials later, he’s finally behind bars. #CRIM1001 https://t.co/4O1dbVfuhe
