That you think that sociological theory abstract running to 11 pages is heavy going, or that what you linked to is actually research is, to use a turn of phrase of yours "quite illuminating"

It's not research, its a glossary of terms and theories associated with domestic violence.

I don't think somebody caught by a click bait article from the Irish Times has the mental capacity to see past their own confirmation bias.

If you engage in these type of politics that are designed to divide don't hope that there will ever be a solution or things will get better. We only have to look at the mess that is America right now to see the results of the polarization in politics.

It is illuminating to see the highly emotional and personalized responses. I’m not sure why people feel so threatened. I drew attention to the article as a theoretical overview. It is academic and references other works. I’m glad some posters find it accessible, it’s actually a compliment to the authors. It shows the importance of how theoretical stance can inform policy and impact practice in people’s lives.

You are totally confused regarding the difference between sentence and review.

Sentence for A was Life

Sentence for B was 15 years

Review for A is 12 years

Review for B is 8 years.

No matter how you juggle it, Boy A got the harsher sentence.

My reading of it is both beast were convicted of murder but under the Children's Act the customary mandatory life sentence does not apply rather the trial judge determines the sentence. In this case beast A, has got a conditional life sentence which will be determined after 12yrs. So in effect it cant be said for certain that this beast will get a life sentence. Should the review decide he has served his time he could well walk out of the court free without any legal restraining constraint of "licence" associated with a life sentence. The only restraint he has for certain is he is on the Sex Offenders registrar.

My understanding is that Boy A has received a life sentence which normally does come with a recommended review date. That does not mean they will be reviewing if the life sentence sticks but that is the earliest date they will start to consider his release on licence.

See Cal, now you are just being knee jerk and emotional!
Luckily our resident SJW Muldoon lover has read some "heavy" research and your posts just illuminate the issue and highlight how many feathers have been ruffled by the penis possessors.

Will people PLEASE stop comparing these boys to animals.

Animals do not kill for pleasure or perversion.

I often think about the parents.

They are not without blame, for obvious reasons. Just saying that good parenting has a lot of responsibilities.

I see no evidence here from you to overturn her article. A lot of agitation certainly. I’ll pass this on to her so she can see if it’s worth a follow up.

Approximately 10 women are killed each year. Assuming all were murdered (as opposed to manslaughter), the perpetrator was always male and its always a unique perpetrator (i.e. not one man killing three of the women), all of which assumptions would favour her hypothesis that the problem is men murder women (rather than murderers murder people), then that is approximately 10 murders per 1.8m odd men.

Or 0.000005% chance that a man kills a woman in any given year.

Or, this year ten men killed a woman and 1,799,990 men did not.

Based on that, it seems only fair that we should implicitly excuse these individual murderers, because the other 1,799,990 are the real problem.

I mean, while we are in silly land, why dont we just say humanity is the real problem and be done with it?

Its illuminating to see how easily people are taken in by these type of articles which are designed to basically divide people and opinion. Its very much a copy and paste of what goes on allot of the time across the pond.

The fact that anyone gives credibility to an article that generalizes half the population of this country and is written as an opinion piece is quite scary.

I wonder what social policy you would put in place to take men and boys to task?

Statistics have more to say: some 70%+ of homicide victims world wide are male. Some 96% of perpetrators are make. What I like about Muldoon’s article is she calls a spade a spade. Ana was murdered because she was a girl. Only a fool could state otherwise. There was more to it certainly but ignoring her gender is just ridiculous.

Where Muldoon goes with it what has rattled cages; she refuses to accept that it’s simply a case of saying these two are extraordinary exceptions and that there’s a bigger problem. You can say 10 women a year isn’t a big problem: well that’s a point of view if a tad dismissive of 10 lives. You can look at the 19,000 cases of domestic violence as another sign of the bigger problem. Alternatively others here have pointed out the unique nature of the case in the age of the perpetrators: that too is a theoretical framing but one which ignores gender. Why ignore it. As an amusement to myself and a trigger to others I might say that an intersectional interpretation has something to be said for it.

We are all looking for solutions. Addressing male violence to females is needed. Why aren’t more males violent toward women and men? Is there a cultural message we pick up and others don’t? What messages do males pick up about violence and it’s uses? These are important questions. It’s not easy to ask them. Turn off the outrage that someone dared ask.

A real question at last. What do we want to achieve? A reduction in levels of violence from men toward women.

Does that mean we also have to look at levels of violence of men toward men?

“Taking to task” is a poor phrase by Muldoon. It’s too limited and gets certain backs up. What policies do we always recommend to limit damage from mass shootings? Limit access to weapons and stores of ammo. That is a type of taking to task.

Other social policies will be based on the theoretical framework you put in place around the problem. If only someone had offered a link to an article written in accessible English offering an overview to a general audience.

Beyond that I think it needs major educational work and support across society.

Who is looking for solutions? Should we not try and stop violence towards all or is it only when its male violence on female that there is an issue?

As a male who is in the know what lesson's can you tell the rest of us heathens.

No one is outraged that you dare ask questions, if anything just pointing out the gullibility of people who reads too much into such an article. The fact its triggering you into a position where you are trying to insinuate that people are overly emotional in order to discount their views says allot.

If we want to look into this with any credibility we have to look at the role the sexes play in society overall.

I’d imagine so.
But I’d also say it’s true. A knows well had B just did what he did and kept his mouth shut it would have been a much harder case. That Newstalk podcast with the 3 journalists all said B literally hung himself and had he’d been no comment all the way through, there’s no way he would have been convicted. Fancied himself able to pull on over the police though.
It’s still mad he got more than A but well deserved.

=========================================



Not true, beast A parents initiated their own complaint over an alleged assault on him. That's how the boots got into Garda custody. Ana's DNA was determined from the blood stains on his boots. Beast A DNA was found on Ana's body so he would have been linked by this too. Gardai would have tied in the two issues as they happened same evening same place. As for beast B while its stated he convicted himself I don't see it that way. Beast B was led through his evidence on a timeline and video evidence determined from CCTV. He repeatedly lied and lied till he was brought back into the frame through CCTV. Evidence was also given at his trial of him calling for Ana and he leading her through the park and there was also a timeline of him returning just prior to beast A. There was no forensics linking beast B to the crime scene. What beast B was convicted of was he aided & abetted in the crime. Ana's father identification + CCTV of him with Ana put him squarely in the picture. It would seem that both beast had concocted a similar story of beast A wanting to tell Ana he wasn't interested in her and beast B being just the facilitator in that, What the interview video showed was beast B is a consummate liar and anything he was to say should be taken in that context. For him going repeatedly "no comment" in video evidence being put to the jury, this would not have done him any favors either rather it would convinced them he was in the conspiracy why else would he be refusing to cooperate.

Who is the we you are speaking about?

So we limit access to women or men in society so they wont have a the ability to be violent?

What theoretical frameworks should we target? Should it be all men or do we limit by certain religious or minorities? I have a certain religion in mind that is fairly violent and is a patriarchal society, i think applying these generalization to it also might work.

I find it too innocent to call any of these monsters "Boy". I associate such with schoolboy, choirboy etc all with innocence.


I believe A sentence can be determined in its full context by looking at B sentence. B has got a conditional 15yrs to be reviewed after 8yrs. Should the review be satisfactory after 8yr he could walk away without further restrictions. Similarly for A if the review is satisfactory after 12yrs he could walk away too with the only restrictions being the Sex Offenders Registrar.

I see nothing there about the life verdict being removed. In every other life sentence including one of a minor (Darren Goodwin) review means review for release on licence is considered for the first time at that point. Reviews for life cases usually take 2 - 3 years by the way. There must be a review process with life sentences as there is no fixed date on incarceration.

The we is every reasonable person of course.

Solutions have to be practical.

The theoretical framework is a big choice because lots flow from it: do you think individualistic or social etc etc.

We are talking Society so religion to my mind is irrelevant and harm reduction measures apply to all.

You decide who is being reasonable and not being reasonable?

What theoretical framework would you want to see in place? Social policy would be influenced from this would it not?

So your OK with tackling minority cultures still stuck in the past and forcing them to abide by whatever system you deem to put in place?

Is there a specific answer you could actually give me or are we going to keep doing this dance?

The police presence in US schools is indicative of societal failure.
It's the most imprisoned population in the world, yet still incredibly violent.
Indeed the move from any police presence from being one of "Protectors" of the peace, to being active enforcers is something that is completely contrary to what our Gardaí are designed and indeed legislated to be.

Moving towards enforcing a modicum of societal norms by threat of force or police sanction is frankly ridiculous.

All I'm stating is a fact. But I have observed so many trends that start out in the US end up with Western Europe following.

We can all tell people who are being unreasonable.
I haven’t decided. I already told you it would.
No. This is a decision for society obviously. That’s obvious to reasonable people.

What would you do if your changes were looked upon as discrimination against a certain religion or minority group and it sparked more violence?

“My hopes, rather than my expectations, were that Darren Goodwin would get a sentence to reflect his crime,” she said. “He hit Darragh once with a hammer from behind and then five times more as he lay on the ground. This was a sustained attack. ... While Mr Goodwin has served his sentence, he is released under licence.

And what is the trend in Ireland? Going back 20yrs ago murder was very rare, and even 10yrs ago it was also relatively rare. Its not today. There is a murder every day or second day in Ireland. There has been an outpouring of school bullying reportings in recent weeks and school totally failing to deal with the issues as a lot of the time the bullying is online which the school has not the capacity to police. Drugs have become common in schools and most children get their first introduction to drugs in schools. Gangs are becoming more a problem in our schools mimicking the same as US schools. More and more schools are coming under state control, becoming secular loosing their religious controls as happened in the US. More and more the question is being asked in Ireland what is the role of teachers, is it educators or is it policing the classroom and schools and the internet in regards it student population.

Ok see that now in respect of Goodwin but it appears to me it was the trial judge's review that reaffirmed it. So it was not set in stone at the trial



At sentencing the trial judge stated.

"He had said the correct sentence for the ‘pre-meditated, brutal, callous murder’ was life imprisonment, but said that he would review it in a decade.
