Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Judge Lynn Ratushny's Self-Defence Review (SDR) of the cases of women convicted of homicide for killing violent male partners presents a significant opportunity for the integration of feminist activism and analysis into the legal understanding of self-defense, the legal system's complicity in male violence against women, and the violence of systemic racism. The author uses the objectives of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies to assess the work of the SDR, concluding that while the SDR accomplished some goals that could not have otherwise been achieved, the SDR was constrained by its political location and by the women's need for confidentiality such that many feminist aspirations were ultimately compromised.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
