Honour Killings and Criminal Justice: Social and Legal Challenges in Turkey
by Ferya Taş-ÇifçiDespite recent reforms to the Turkish Penal Code, the country retains a high level of honour-based violence. This book analyses the motives behind honour-based violence in Turkey and examines the criminal justice system’s approach to this type of crime. The work takes a socio-legal approach to explore the concepts of honour, patriarchy, and hierarchy, along with the roles of culture and tradition. It also examines how the legal system deals with this phenomenon, focusing on the decisions of the criminal courts in honour killing cases and drawing on prisoner interviews. These analyses show the extent to which the State follows a patriarchal approach when dealing with honour killings and inform recommendations for improving the legal and criminal justice system so as to deter crimes of this nature.
Hoodwinked: Ten Myths Moms Believe and Why We All Need To Knock It Off
by Candace Cameron Bure Karen Ehman Ruth SchwenkMoms have been hoodwinked—tricked into believing lies that keep them from not only enjoying motherhood, but forging friendships with other moms who might tackle the tasks of motherhood differently. Myths such as “Mothering is natural, easy, and instinctive” cause moms to feel like failures if they have questions or apprehensions in raising their kids. Operating from the premise that “The way I mother is the right (and only) way” puts up fences between moms instead of building bridges of encouragement between them. Lies such as “I am my child’s choices” tempt moms to mistakenly believe that if their child makes a wrong choice then they, in turn, must be a bad mom. In their encouraging “we’ve been there” style, Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk enable mothers to:Identify the ten myths of motherhood our current culture perpetuatesReplace the lies with the truth of what God says in the Bible about motheringAcquire practical tools to help them form new and improved thought patterns and healthy behaviorsForge healthy, supportive relationships with other moms of all ages and stagesConfidently embrace the calling of motherhood as they care for their families in their own unique way A six-session video Bible study for group or individual use is also available.
