Bad, mad or sad? Mothers who kill and press coverage in Israel
Israeli scholars have found that a lenient and paternalistic perception of violent mothers has been characteristic of Israeli court decisions over the last few decades and the general public.

As part of a wider research that compares the construction of fathers and mothers who kill, this ar…

The Societal Construction of a Criminal as Cultural Hero: The Case of “The Brinks Truck Theft”
This study examines the identification with, and encouragement and admiration of, a celebrated thief among the Internet audience of a popular Israeli web site.

Stories About Child Sexual Abuse: Textual Analysis of Instruction Manuals in Israel
This paper overviews the socio-historical background underlying the construction of child abuse as a public issue in Israel, and analyzes one cultural product of this process-textbooks and manuals on child sexual abuse prevention.

The narratives individualize and medicalize both victim and abu…

By tracing the development of new forms…
