The Article A Socio-legal deconstruction of homicide victims and perpetrators: Israeli femicide case law, by Hava Dayan, is a critical discourse analysis that examined femicide case law in Israeli. This article examines the written discourses in Israeli case law and how that translates to social norms that produce the power relations that exist between the genders in society. This article holds the view that law and precedent in English common law has the ability to shape social values and norms, which are rooted in Israeli societies perception of the "reasonable man" and the "unfaithful women". This is the social construct in Israeli that provocation from the "unfaithful" women gives men reason to commit femicide. Men are considered less guilty if the women was seen as being unfaithful. This results in more lenient sentences when the doctrine of provocation is present.
