20.500.12556/DiRROS-28266 Prisons as reflections of societal gender norms and rape culture Zapori kot odsev družbenih spolnih norm in kulture posilstva This article examines the phenomenon of sexual violence in prisons and in broader society, noting that its prevalence is significantly higher in prisons. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Susan Brownmiller, Catharine MacKinnon, and Angela Davis, it explores rape and sexual violence from different perspectives. The focus is on violence against the most vulnerable groups in prison: assaults among male prisoners in men’s facilities, abuse of female prisoners by male guards in women’s prisons, and violence targeting transgender women in men’s prisons. The findings suggest that sexual violence in prisons—like in wider society—is rooted in social gender norms and a broader ‘rape culture’. Current bureaucratic policies have failed to produce the desired results, often addressing symptoms rather than causes. Therefore, the article also considers alternative approaches, including prevention strategies that address structural inequalities, prison culture, and the intersection of gender, sexuality, and power. Članek obravnava pojav spolnega nasilja v zaporih in v širši družbi, pri čemer ugotavlja, da je njegova razširjenost v zaporskem okolju bistveno večja. Na podlagi teoretskih izhodišč Susan Brownmiller, Catharine MacKinnon in Angele Davis analizira problematiko posilstva in spolnega nasilja z različnih vidikov. Poseben poudarek namenja nasilju nad najbolj ranljivimi skupinami v zaporih: nasilju med moškimi zaporniki v moških zaporih, spolnim zlorabam zapornic s strani moških paznikov v ženskih zaporih ter nasilju nad transspolnimi ženskami v moških zaporih. Ugotavlja, da so ti pojavi, podobno kot v širši družbi, rezultat družbenih spolnih norm in t. i. kulture posilstva. Obstoječe birokratske politike se izkažejo za neučinkovite, saj pogosto obravnavajo zgolj simptome, ne pa temeljnih vzrokov. Zato članek nakazuje potrebo po drugačnih pristopih, ki vključujejo preprečevalne strategije, odpravljanje strukturnih neenakosti, spremembo zaporniške kulture ter razumevanje presečišč spola, spolnosti in moči. social violence prison system vulnerable groups patriarchy rape culture spolno nasilje zaporniški sistem ranljive skupine patriarhat kultura posilstva družba true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2026-03-12 19:07:49 2026-03-20 20:54:56 2026-03-21 04:11:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 243-264 št. 295 Vol. 53 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 343.541:343.811 0351-4285 269383171 Racecic,_Prisons_as_Reflections_of_Societal_Gender_Norms_and_Rape_Culture.pdf Racecic,_Prisons_as_Reflections_of_Societal_Gender_Norms_and_Rape_Culture.pdf 1 075D93AE6DB63E298A23A1084D6632B6 725597178b86a7e9ca62bef02854afb2c4313f8c6981abb5b290bce3295c5e84 66a3ffdb-1e3e-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41744 https://ckz.si/publikacije/znanstveni-clanki/zapori-kot-odsev-druzbenih-spolnih-norm-in-kulture-posilstva 1 cd2f3487-1f1f-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=41890 Inštitut Časopis za kritiko za znanosti Časopis za kritiko znanosti 0 0 0
