Gender-Based Violence and the Problem of the Logical “Emancipation” of Legal Narratives through Stereotypes in Practice and Legal Regulation

Maja Profaca

Sažetak

Criminal justice is a sphere where the system most directly impacts and involves an individual, as an accused or as a victim. As the process focuses more on the accused, there is the risk of not noticing cultural narratives and stereotypes that can take over the process without logical argumentation or explanation. Therefore, the subject of this article is the importance of a critical approach to narratives in the legal system with an example from court practice and a legal norm, to emphasise the importance of education and having a critical approach to cultural norms that can be implicit in the discussion and which can discriminate against the victim. The critical analysis of stereotypes in these narratives and the ways they prevent critical thinking, leading to the illusion of a plausible explanation of motives and events, cannot be overemphasised.
