The intersection between Gender, Crime and Violence through War Crimes GEND3010 – Research Essay Sexualised war crime and violence in the past, has seen a sever lack of reporting and under analysing. This can be mainly attributed to the idea that it was an inevitable consequence of the notions of war, and thus irrelevant to the politics and deeper meanings war carried. This mentality has drastically changed in today’s day and age, where sexualised war violence is an increasingly important field of research and involves a number of disciplines, holding important concern towards international politics and security (Klein, M. & Gallus, J.A., 2018). Taking this increased criminological attention towards the indispensable sexual war crimes, this essay will look at how gender, crime and violence interrelate, while also focusing on the actions of American army personnel in Iraq 2003 and their inhumane acts against detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The reporting of these acts emerged in early 2004 as Sergeant Joseph Darby anonymously passed a disc of evidence against US personnel with a note addressed to the US Army Criminal Investigation Command, however, it was not until April of 2004 that these details were revealed to the American public. Seymour Hersh, a reporter for the New York Times, reported a series of events such as; the suspension of Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, the submissions of reports by Major General Anthony Taguba that explicitly document the abuse and mistreatment of prisoners, and the charges against the seven soldiers accused. This event brought to light the horrors and atrocities that can be subdued by war and how these people have been affected.
