USA - VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT – MANDATORY VICTIMS RESTITUTION ACT – FEDERAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE CAMPAIGN
It's On Us
So much comedic material in the US - Celebrities urge young men to protect female friends by making sure they get home safely.
>> Now women in US are 'crippled' second-class citizens who are appointed a patriarchal figure to spirit them home?
Advert: "It's on us to stop sexual assault" ... "To get in the way before it happens."/Joe Biden + ors feature in WH campaign
The Coalface
Clemson University
#USA Clemson Uni suspended mandatory online course that asked students & faculty about their sex lives & drinking habits following backlash!
>> US is INSANE: "Q. supposed to serve the purpose of educating students on gender equality to prevent sexual violence" !!
>Q's such as: "How many times have you had sex?" & "With how many different people have you had sex?" raised privacy concerns.
- schools across country R experimenting w/ new approaches 2 sexual harass/prevent/ & ed Federal law.
VAWA (1994) + MVRA
VAWA (1994) encouraged states to adopt mandatory arrest policies that allowed DV cases to move forward without the cooperation of victims.
A lucrative DV industry in US - $1.6 billion>> "One of greatest successes of VAWA is emphasis on a coordinated comm/response"
>Involves mandatory 'restitution' > this is fine? .. assume it is to State (?) - 2007 $50 billion outstanding Fed. crim debt!
>> Nope. It's money to 'make victims whole' .. US is warped.
Out of $50 bill uncollected restitution - $10 bill is govt $$
MVRA /Mand.Vict.Rest.Act - mandate that judges order FULL restitution irrespective of MEANS ...[blood out of stone?]
