Women Judges Who Judge Women Offenders:A Chinese Case Study On Gender and Judging

在实证研究的基础上,考察了中国女性法官的人生经历和世界观:女性法官是女权主义者或女权主义支持者吗?鉴于女权主义的本质,如果大量女法官是女权主义者或支持女权主义,那么她们就有可能在司法及司法程序中引发对女性问题的关注。如果是这样的话,女性平等地参与法庭将对法律和司法产生重大影响。本文首先介绍了研究背景,接着简要阐述了几个关键的方法论问题,然后展示了关于女法官对女性性别角色的认识、对女性犯罪的看法以及女权主义意识的调查结果。最后,本文强调了研究的依据,并指出了研究的影响和意义。
