This study examined the impact of acceptability of violence on dating violence victimization, relationship satisfaction, and
relationship commitment. A survey administered to a sample of 155 male and 417 female college students showed that relationship
satisfaction was significantly associated with relationship commitment, but that dating violence victimization was not. Moreover,
acceptability of violence emerged as a significant moderator of the relationship between satisfaction and commitment in dating
relationships when gender differences were assessed. Discussion of these findings and future research are included.

This representative national survey examined incidence of husband-to-wife violence in the past year, lifetime exposure to
parental violence, and the relationships between victimization experiences of family violence and mental health among South
Korean women (N = 1,079). The major findings were that incidence rate of husband-to-wife violence among Korean women was 29.5%, which was
much higher than those of other nations, and that their experiences of physical violence by husbands in the last year and
lifetime verbal abuse by parents had strong associations with the mental health of victims. The findings suggest that preventive
intervention programs for male perpetrators as well as domestic violence victims with mental health problems and comprehensive
interventions for Korean couples are urgently needed. In addition, parents should be educated about how to modify their children’s
behavior without physical punishment or verbal abuse.

In this paper, data from the NCS and NCVS are developed for the purpose of describing long-term trends in male and female
violent victimization for the period 1973–2004. More specifically, gender-specific trends in violence are compared according
to crime type and victim–offender relationship. Despite their potential usefulness, these data have not been published previously.
The data reveal that the gender gap in robbery victimization has remained relatively stable while the gender gaps in aggravated
and simple assault victimization have narrowed over time. Results varied when the data were disaggregated by victim–offender
relationship. Male and female rates of nonstranger simple assault and nonstranger robbery were roughly equivalent throughout
the period, and the greater risk for male nonstranger aggravated assault that was evident three decades ago has largely disappeared.
The gender gap persists in stranger assault, but has narrowed somewhat because male rates of victimization have declined more
than female rates. In addition, male and female trends and the gender gap in nonlethal intimate partner violence differ from
the patterns established in intimate partner homicide studies. The paper concludes with a discussion of research that is needed
to understand why the gender gap in violent victimization has changed for some types of violence but not others, and how greater
attention to gender will improve efforts to understand crime trends.

While separate evidence exists that married military women have high rates of both intimate partner violence victimization
and aggression, little is known about the context of this violence, including the extent to which the violence committed toward
and by military women is physical, psychological or sexual, whether the violence is unilateral or bi-directional, and the
extent of injury sustained or inflicted. In order to gain a more multi-dimensional understanding of the violence in the lives
of military women, this study involved 248 enlisted females who completed a self-report survey about themselves and their
spouses’ behavior. Results indicate that the majority of violence reported was bi-directional and symmetrical in terms of
type and level of severity. However, enlisted females were more than three times as likely to be victims of unilateral severe
violence as their male civilian spouses. Demographic factors associated with these patterns of violence were also identified.

Terrorism and relative justice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mark Findlay 《Crime, Law and Social Change》2007,47(1):57-68
Terrorist violence and violent justice responses have much in common. While contextually dependant, both forms of violence
lay claim to contestred legitimacies. The relationships between terrorism and justice responses require both theoretical and
empirical examination if the prospects for controlling the violence they perpetrate is to be sharpened.

The rapid economic growth in China over recent decades has been accompanied by higher levels of crime, but there have been
few studies of the Chinese experience of criminal victimization. A recent victimization survey of a representative sample
of households in Tianjin represents a major effort to fill this gap in the literature. The present paper reviews the research
based on the Tianjin survey along with other studies of crime and criminal victimization in China that have been published
since 1990. We summarize the major findings, discuss the theoretical perspectives and methodological strategies that have
been applied, identify the limitations of the research to date, and offer suggestions for future research.

Comparing Cuban and Haitian migrant smuggling schemes, this article explores the relationship between violence and the social
organization of migrant smuggling, including the smuggling of refugees. Levels of violence, political repression, and ethnic
persecution in sending states provide an important context for understanding the origins and organization of this illicit
market. Examining the violent threats and acts directed at migrants en route, we argue that violence is not a necessary part
of the illicit market for unauthorized migration, attenuated by the social networks, cultural norms, and contractual relationships
in which it is embedded.

Scholarship, policy and practice relating to domestic violence have all seen many changes in the recent past. The definition
of domestic violence is often wide ranging describing physical violent within an adult (married) couple to the inclusion of
intergenerational abuse and violence. As a result of feminist interventions a gender-based approach to domestic violence is
now well established. Most research using this model shows that the majority of victims are women and most perpetrators are
men. This impacts upon the policies, initiatives and service provision. One consequence is that it fails to explore the possibility
of women’s different experiences of domestic violence. The point of departure for this paper is that it fails to take account
of domestic violence in lesbian partnerships. Using data generated by way of an annual analysis of counselling cases of generated
by a German lesbian specific social services agency and data from focussed interviews with 20 lesbians who have been violent
to their lesbian partners this article offers a range of new insights into the nature and experiences of domestic violence
in same sex domestic relationships and considers the significance of this data in relation to policing and other modes of
intervention to bring that violence to an end.

The Interactional and Discursive View of Violence and Resistance is a framework for critical analysis and research, prevention
and intervention that takes into account the conditions that enable personalized violence, the actions of perpetrators and
victims, and the language used in representing those actions. Using this analytic framework, we analyzed five accounts of
personalized violence, one each from a perpetrator, a psychiatrist, a judge, a government minister, and a therapist. Our results
demonstrate the scope and the ubiquity with which diverse accounts locally accomplish four-discursive-operations; namely,
the concealing of violence, obfuscating of perpetrators’ responsibility, concealing of victims’ resistance, and blaming and
pathologizing of victims. We examine the specific linguistic devices that combine to accomplish the four-discursive-operations
in each case. These data suggest that the problem of violence is inextricably linked to the problem of representation.

The associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health among adolescent and young adult mothers were compared.
The sample was drawn from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study and participants were 672 mothers between the ages
of 14 and 21. IPV was significantly positively associated with both depression and anxiety among young adult mothers. However,
these associations were not found among adolescent mothers. In addition, IPV and marital status were significantly related
among young adult mothers, but not adolescent mothers. Results suggest that IPV may have different consequences during different
parts of the life course, or that mental health symptoms may be reported only later in life.

No one, young or old, is immune to interpersonal violence (IPV). Female victims come from a variety of circumstances and across
all ages. However, much of the research and services have focused almost exclusively on younger women. This article compares
women 65 and older to women under 65, who utilized domestic violence (DV) services in a mid-western state over a five-year
period. Although there are many similarities in the findings, differences include that older victims were more likely to be
White, report more emotional and less physical abuse, be referred to services by a legal source, have special needs or disabilities,
and receive fewer services, less service hours and fewer contacts than younger victims utilizing DV services. Implications
for research and practice are discussed.

Self-control, Victimization, and their Influence on Risky Lifestyles: A Longitudinal Analysis Using Panel Data 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Christopher J. Schreck Eric A. Stewart Bonnie S. Fisher 《Journal of Quantitative Criminology》2006,22(4):319-340
This research expands past investigations into the influence of low self-control as a risk factor for criminal victimization. Specifically, we consider two questions: (1) whether low self-control at one point in time can predict future victimization, and (2) whether victims alter lifestyle choices (like their own delinquency and contact with delinquent peers) in response to their earlier victimization. We answered these questions using three waves of adolescent panel data from the evaluation of the Gang Resistance Education and Training program. Our results support the predictions of self-control theory, showing that low self-control measured at an earlier time is associated with later victimization, even after controlling for past victimization, delinquency, social bonds, and delinquent peer contact. Likewise, self-control appears to influence the relationship between earlier victimization and later lifestyles.

Differentiating Between Generally and Partner-Only Violent Subgroups: Lifetime Antisocial Behavior,Family of Origin Violence,and Impulsivity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present study examined self-reported lifetime antisocial behavior, family of origin violence, and impulsivity/behavioral
disinhibition of 73 men entering treatment for partner violence. Participants were designated as generally violent (GV) (n = 46) or partner only violent (n = 27), based on self-reported violence against non-intimate individuals during the year prior to intake. As hypothesized,
GV men reported more conduct disorder/delinquent behaviors, lifetime antisocial behaviors, and family of origin violence.
The GV men also reported more behavioral disinhibition, however, group differences on impulsivity only approached statistical
significance. In addition, as hypothesized, GV men reported they were more psychologically abusive toward their intimate partners.
However, contrary to expectations, the subgroups did not differ on reports of physical violence toward their partners. This
study employed a fairly simple technique of dividing men into groups based on self-reports of violence over the past year,
thereby producing subgroups that differed on a number of important characteristics that may have implications for treatment.
An advantage of this technique is that it would be relatively easy for other treatment programs to apply.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of a form of violence that represents a potential barrier to the development
of a nonviolent criminology. Using several contentions drawn from Emile Durkheim’s theory of crime and punishment, it is proposed
that persuasive arguments entail a component of violence where they contradict strong collective sentiments. The general nature
and normality of this form of violence are outlined. In addition, it is suggested that although neglect of this violence may
allow progressive researchers to maintain nonviolent self-conceptions, such neglect also may serve the interests of “intellectuals”
while undermining the power of “nonintellectuals.” The violence of persuasive argument thus constitutes a problematic paradox
for scholars who embrace nonviolence and equitable distributions of power.

Research investigating women’s risk assessments for intimate partner violence (IPV) shows that women can predict future violence
with relative accuracy. Limited research has investigated factors that are associated with perceived risk and the potential
behavioral consequences of victim risk perception. Results from a survey of women in a domestic violence shelter (N = 56) indicated that women perceive lower risk of future violence if the abusive relationship were to end and higher risk
of violence if it were to continue. Certain abuse experiences were related to elevated perceptions of personal risk for future
violence. Further, perceived personal risk predicted the women’s intention to terminate their relationship upon leaving shelter.
Results are discussed as they may inform interventions preventing IPV.

The study of battered women of color marginalized by their race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, and immigrant status
(defined as an intersectional approach) has created new ways of thinking of and dealing with domestic violence in immigrant
communities. This article applies the principles of an intersectional and interlocking analysis to the experiences of battered
immigrant women in the U.S. In addition, here I bring together another dimension of intersectionality: one that inter-relates
certain dynamics of domestic violence specific to immigrant communities and some of the unique ways in which immigrant communities
are dealing with domestic violence in the U.S. In these ways, we are better able to see both the concerns about displacement
and marginalization, as well as contestation and empowerment of battered immigrant women.

Victimization incidence rates produced from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) are a generally accepted annual
indicator of the amount and type of crime in the United States. However, persons who report a large number of similar victimizations—known
as series victimizations in the NCVS—are currently excluded in government reports of annual violent victimizations. This paper
quantifies the effect of series incident counting procedures on national estimates of violent victimization. The findings
suggest that these high-volume repeat victims can have a significant impact on the magnitude and distribution of violent victimization.
Current government counting rules that exclude series incidents do not include about three out of every five violent victimizations
and distorts the characterization and risk of violence in the United States. However, the inclusion of series incidents introduces
significant estimate instability. One remedy is to use prevalence rates in concert with incidence rates to present a more
complete and reliable picture of victimization.

Animal abuse and family violence appear to be “linked” and tend to co-occur in the same households. Companion animals are
often regarded as family members, if not by the abuser, then by others within the family. Consequently, in families where
any given form of violence exists, animal abuse is also more likely to exist. This paper examines animal abuse in the context
of abusive home environments, and the relationship between an abusive home in childhood and the range of behavioral problems
that may extend into adulthood. Existing investigations are reviewed with reference to prevalence, epidemiology, and child
development theory. It appears that holistic interventions to counter abusive home environments may represent the most effective
way to break the association between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence, by addressing the shared situational characteristics
common to a range of violent behaviors.

Growing up in a violent home predisposes children to a host of behavioral and emotional difficulties. This study examined
whether perpetrator and victim gender have an impact on depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior for victims of child physical
abuse (CPA) and also with regard to witnessing interparental violence (IPV). This study also examined whether witnessing siblings
being abused would elicit high levels of depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior. College students (n = 675) were assessed for both exposure to IPV and child physical abuse prior to age 18. Participants completed measures of
depression and aggression. With regard to victims of CPA, participants victimized by both parents and those victimized by
mothers only had significantly higher levels of aggression. For depressive symptoms, females having both parents as perpetrators
or fathers only had significantly higher depressive symptoms. With regard to witnessing IPV, being abused by both parents
was associated with endorsement of more aggression and depressive symptoms. With regard to witnessing sibling violence, the
results were similar to those found for victims of CPA.

Constructing Women Who Experience Male Violence: Criminal Legal Discourse and Individual Experiences
Helen Baker 《Liverpool Law Review》2008,29(2):123-142
This article examines the relationship between how women who experience violence from a male partner construct themselves,
and how criminal legal discourse constructs female victims of violence. It is argued that in both arenas, women are constructed
according to norms which emanate from a discourse of conventional femininity which operates together with a practice of shame.
Utilising empirical data gained from qualitative interviews with women who experienced male violence, the article contends
that the construction of the female victim of violence in criminal legal discourses as imbued with stereotypical ‘feminine’
characteristics such as passivity and weakness, may influence these women’s own construction and understanding of themselves.
The existence of a practice of shame further consolidates the self-regulation of the women themselves to these norms of femininity.
This construction is posited to be problematic as the experiences of women of male violence rarely ‘fit’ within these explanations.
The article contends that in order to better understand women’s experiences of male violence; both criminal legal and individual
women’s discourses need to be read in terms of the power, knowledge and effects which they exert upon individual women. It
is argued that this alternative reading of these discourses has the potential for transformation as they are invested in the
subject.
