UNBALANCED SCALES: Gender and the Justice System
Judges, defense lawyers and prosecutors, police, parole officers, teachers and students of law enforcement, social agencies that help women... these are the intended audiences of this video. The problem it deals with is the re-victimization of women at the hands of the justice and social systems after these women have already been the victims of the crime of domestic violence. The video is a consciousness-raising tool about this systematic discrimination and gender bias. Helps viewers identify specific policies, procedures, and practices which may appear neutral and fair but which, in actuality, have an adverse impact on women. Generates suggestions on ways to address these problems.
