ESSAY QUESTION IS:
The criminal law regulates sexuality. It does so not only in the specific offences it defines and punishes, but also by setting the norms by which all of society is supposed to operate”.
Critically discuss this proposition by examining recent cases of sexual assault where teachers have engaged in sexual activities with students (eg. Karen Ellis, Gavin Hopper etc.). Are there differences in how female and male teachers have been dealt with? If so, why do you think these differences arise?
