Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The introduction to the special issue explains the significance of studying infanticide in the frame of the Americas and outlines some of the important themes and findings that emerge from the papers. The introduction explores how authors have uncovered a range of reactions to infanticide, how social and emotional contexts matter in cases of suspicious infant deaths, and how and why sexual honor and shame mitigated social and criminal sanctions. Significantly, the papers demonstrate the role of colonial constructions of Indigenous and Black women accused of infanticide and the durability of those constructions across place and time. Finally, the introduction addresses some of the similarities and differences regarding the local legal apparatus as well as how they shape historical records for the study of infanticide.

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.
