The State Bar of Wisconsin decided to give out a new award this year, Lifetime Legal Innovator. The first winner seemed an obvious choice.
Norman Gahn pioneered the use of DNA evidence in criminal prosecutions in Wisconsin, a staple of the process now, but a novel, exotic and risky ploy when he began explaining it to Milwaukee County jurors in the late 1980s.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Nov. 25 has its origins in the 1960 assassination of three of the four Mirabal sisters — Antonia, Maria and Patricia — who were political activists in the Dominican Republic. Their fourth sibling, Bélgica, passed away in 2014. The sisters, known as the Unforgettable Butterflies, became a symbol of the endemic violence against women around the world.

Police and local municipalities, which are responsible for social services in Britain, were able to identify around 50,000 cases of sexual abuse around between April 2012 and March 2014.

Typically DNA is extracted from live animals, but the process of capturing animals and extracting DNA isn’t always easy. For instance, spiders can be very mobile and difficult to catch. Spiders are also difficult to identify based on their appearance because there are so many species.
Scientists from the University of Notre Dame have found a much easier way of extracting DNA from spiders — from their webs. Similar methods of non-invasive DNA sampling have been used on things like fur that animals have shed or down feathers, but spider webs have never been used.

A year ago, The Lancet published a Series on violence against women and girls ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on Nov 25. The day marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which this year, for the first time, has prevention as its theme. This focus is encouraging. One in three women will experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime but, as evidence in the Series showed, such violence is preventable.

For a few transgender Americans, this has been a year of glamour and fame. For many others, 2015 has been fraught with danger and mourning. While Caitlyn Jenner made the cover of Vanity Fair and Laverne Cox prospered as a popular actress, other transgender women have become homicide victims at an alarming rate. By the count of the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, there have been 22 killings so far this year of transgender or gender-nonconforming people — including 19 black or Latina transgender women.

Devils Lake Police Chief Keith Schroeder said he believes the move toward police body-worn cameras is a natural progression for his department. "(Before) it was microcassette recorders. Then we went to the digital recorder," he said.
Next were cameras mounted in squad cars. Body-worn cameras seemed like the next logical step, Schroeder said.

Every autumn, tens of thousands of sportsmen from across the globe descend on rural South Dakota, the pheasant hunting “capital” of the world. That’s good news for the state’s hotel, restaurant and sporting goods store owners. It’s very bad news for victims of sex traffickers, some girls as young as 14, brought every year from as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada — or as close as the nearest Indian reservation.

This paper provides an overview of the best available contemporary evidence on the way news and information media portray violence against women.
In the paper studies are grouped into three broad areas of inquiry: 1) media representation (how content and discourse are used in news items on violence against women); 2) audience reception (how audiences interpret news on violence against women and how risk is perceived and managed); and 3) news production (what practices are used in reporting on violence against women and their children).
