Chronicle of a crime retold: Looking for Bobby Franks in the Leopold and Loeb films
This article examines how the victim is depicted in narrative films that retell the story of a famous crime: Nathan Leopold’s and Richard Loeb’s kidnap and murder of Bobby Franks in Chicago in 1924, retold in Rope , Compulsion , Swoon and Murder by Numbers . Socially harmful homophobic discourses largely propelled the significant cultural attention to this case, and with the exception of Swoon the films retell the crime through problematic constr…
Rape Myths, Rape Law and Mendelsohn’s Victimology: Law’s ‘Bio-psycho-social’ Witness
This article provides a feminist reading of a neglected text: victimology founder Benjamin Mendelsohn’s essay about rape victims and the law, ‘Rape in Criminology and the Importance of the Female Judge’ (Mendelsohn Benjamin in La Giustizia Penale I-II-III-IV:28–50 1940). Following the heuristics of feminist socio-legal scholarship, my reading unsettles the established origin story of victimology and furthers feminist knowledge about the persisten…

Vulnerability after Wounding: Feminism, Rape Law, and the Differend
Vulnerability after Wounding:Feminism, Rape Law, and the Differend1 Rebecca Stringer (bio) It is in the nature of a victim not to be able to prove that one has been done a wrong. —Jean-François Lyotard, The Differend, No. 92 In his book The Differend, Lyotard proposes a unique theory of the victim as one who has suffered a wrong that is not presently recognized in law and exists instead as a differend, or a form of suffering that cannot be phrase…
Impractical Reconciliation: Reading the Intervention Through the Huggins-Bell Debate
This article examines the events and texts of the Huggins–Bell debate, in view of the revival of Bell's 'everyone's business' position in the current context of the Northern Territory Intervention. I argue that while there are disjunctures between the position Bell espoused and the measures taken in the Intervention, the Intervention's policy approach of 'practical reconciliation' shares the signature features of Bell's position. As in Bell's wor…
