Olga Jurasz1 and Kim Barker2 1Senior Lecturer, Open University Law School, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom and 2Senior Lecturer, Open University Law School, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received 05 July 2021; accepted 05 July 2021) Abstract The emergence of new interactions, notably those online, has led to the parallel development of criminal behaviors—not all of which are captured by the current legal framework. This article addresses the challenge posed to criminal law by the emergence of technologically facilitated violence, specifically its sexualized online forms. In particular, it argues for cautious yet specific criminalization of violent behaviors online whilst considering the broader criminal liabilities of all actors involved in the facilitation and perpetration of digital sexual violence. This article draws upon national—contentious—examples of attempts to regulate disruptive sexual violence perpetrated through digital means, with particular attention given to provisions in the UK, Germany, and France.

  • Sureties Julian Assange
    JUDICIARY OF ENGLAND AND WALES JUDGE HOWARD RIDDLE, SENIOR DISTRICT JUDGE (CHIEF MAGISTRATE) IN THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES’ COURT PROFESSOR TRICIA DAVID AND OTHER SURETIES FOR JULIAN ASSANGE 8 OCTOBER 2012 Background In December 2010 Julian Assange surrendered to the UK authorities on a European Arrest Warrant issued in November that year by the Swedish Prosecuting Authority. At a second application for bail I granted conditional bail requiring the lodging of a security, and other conditions. The decision to grant bail was appealed and considered on 16th December 2010 by Mr Justice Ouseley in the Administrative Court. The grant of conditional bail was upheld but the conditions were varied. Among the conditions to be complied with before release was that a total of nine people were to enter into a recognizance to secure the surrender of Mr Assange at the time and place appointed. Sureties were taken in court and the defendant was released. An order for extradition was made by this Court on 24th February 2011, and Mr Assange was bailed as before. At that time the sureties were retaken, some at a police station and some at court, and made continuous to surrender for removal. Mr Assange was required to await his extradition with a duty to surrender to the police or any court, in connection with these extradition proceedings, at such time and place as he may be notified. The sureties were made subject to an obligation to pay the court the sum specified opposite their signature if Mr Assange failed to surrender to the custody of the police at such place, on such date, at such time as he may be 1 notified, or to surrender to the custody of any court if directed to do so in connection with these extradition proceedings.

  • Magistrates' Court Sentencing Guidelines
    Sentencing Guidelines Council Magistrates’Magistrates’ CourtCourt SentencingSentencing GuidelinesGuidelines Definitive Guideline FOREWORD The Magistrates’ Court Sentencing Guidelines have been a settled feature of magistrates’ courts for many years. This edition applies to all relevant cases appearing for allocation (mode of trial) or for sentence on or after 4 August 2008 and replaces the guidelines which were effective from 1 January 2004. It also supersedes the part of the Practice Direction covering Mode of Trial Decisions (Part V.51) in relation to offences contained within the guideline. This is the most extensive guideline produced by the Council and covers most of the offences regularly coming before a magistrates’ court which require decisions on allocation or on sentence. The guideline also contains explanatory material that sets out a common approach to more general issues. For the first time, there is a statutory obligation onevery court to have regard to this guideline in a relevant case and to give reasons when imposing a sentence outside the range identified. This guideline is the result of an intensive and consultative process, which has at all stages benefited from the involvement of key users of the guidelines. The Council is extremely grateful to all who have played a part in developing the guideline and has greatly appreciated the time and thought that has gone into the preparation of responses to each aspect of the consultation. The Council is also enormously grateful to the Sentencing Advisory Panel and, in particular, to the members of its advisory group, for the extensive consideration they have given, not only to detailed matters of content but also to ensuring a proper balance in the assessment of the seriousness of all the offences involved.
