Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the book Sexual Science and the Law Andrew Green tackles sex-linked themes that have become overburdened with stereotypical, intuitive, ill-informed, uninformed, and often alarmist legal reactions conditioned by conservative, parentalistic (usually paternalistic) attitudes. His review of the characteristics and origins of sexual behaviours, their consequences, and how courts have responded to them provides rich material for reflection on how courts reach decisions, the range of legitimate speculation that should influence judicial dispositions, and how laws might be reformed in light of what is known about human behaviour concerning sexual and related matters. The book also offers students and practitioners of family, criminal, and medical law a good sense of the type of expert testimony that may be invoked to explain backgrounds to events, and the foreseeable consequences of the different orders that judges can make.

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.
