Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Dans cet article, nous examinons pourquoi les récents incidents de violence commis par des filles sont interprétés comme un signe qu'aujourd'hui les adolescentes sont de plus en plus dangereuses. Nous démontrons que cette interprétation est le produit d'une panique morale centrée sur le concept du risque. Les politiques de réforme sociale et criminelle résultant de cette panique créent des mécanismes disciplinaires agissant sur le corps de l'adolescente délinquante et encou-ragent le développement d'une culture fondée sur la gestion du risque. We examine why, despite evidence to the contrary, recent incidents of female violence have been interpreted as sign that today's girls are increasingly nasty. We argue that the Nasty Girl phenomenon is the product of a moral panic. We show that while girl violence always existed, today's discussion is dominated by the concept of risk. Reform initiatives resulting from the panic consist of disciplinary mechanisms acting on the body of the individual delinquent, and techniques that regulate individuals through the fostering of a culture of risk management and security consciousness. Finally, we situate the panic in the current backlash against feminism.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
