Doubleproof (Social Control Theory)

A specific form of Double‑Evidence where the burden of proof is asymmetrically applied: the marginalized must meet impossible standards, while the powerful are presumed credible without any proof. Doubleproof ensures that the system’s outcomes are predetermined while maintaining the appearance of impartiality.

Doubleproof (Social Control Theory) Example: “She had to produce documents, witnesses, and expert testimony to report harassment; the accused merely said ‘I don’t recall’ and was cleared. Doubleproof: the powerless prove; the powerful merely assert.”
