{"product_id":"judicial-decision-making-in-child-margaret-m-wright-9780774812641","title":"Judicial Decision Making in Child Sexual Abuse Cases","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s, Canada witnessed a public outcry over child sexual abuse cases. Elected officials sought a remedy through legal reforms. Amendments were made to the \u003ci\u003eCriminal Code of Canada\u003c\/i\u003e and sexual assault was redefined. The word \"rape\" was replaced with a continuum of categories intended to reflect the full range of sexually intrusive behaviours. Margaret Wright examines how the courts have dealt with child sexual abuse cases since then. She demonstrates that although the laws may have changed, their interpretation still depends on the social construction of children and on judges' own understanding of what constitutes child sexual abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret M.
