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.

This article considers the role of space, place and identity in influencing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) young adults’ experiences of unwanted sexual attention in licensed venues. It is argued in this article that the roles of space, place and identity are largely absent from theoretical understandings of sexual violence. Gender-based accounts of sexual violence, while important, are unable to fully account for sexual violence that is perpetrated within and against GLBTIQ communities. Drawing on data obtained through a mixed-methods study, in the first half of the article I establish the manner in which GLBTIQ young adults’ unique relationship with licensed venues appears to mediate the ways in which unwanted sexual attention occurring in these spaces is experienced and understood. The second half of this article is concerned with exploring the intersections between unwanted sexual attention and heterosexist violence and abuse in clubs and pubs. I conclude by considering the implications of these findings for theoretical understandings of sexual violence and unwanted sexual attention. 相似文献

This article critiques and expands upon the jurisprudence of law’s violence from feminist and lesbian/gay/queer perspectives.
The incorporation of gender and sexuality into the jurisprudence of law’s violence, via the social experiences of women and
gay men, highlights the masculine and heteronormative character of law’s violence, while bringing into view particular forms
of law’s violence, and forms of extra-legal but thoroughly legitimate heterosexual male violence, that have remained invisible
in previous accounts. A feminist analysis of violence also suggests that law’s regime of violence is neither totalising nor
inevitable, and that possibilities for resistance, if not avoidance, do exist. 相似文献

Various scholars have noted the priority given to law in the politics of hate violence; violence is the problem and law, more
specifically the criminal law, the solution at the ‘heart’ of society. This article seeks to explore some of the gaps and
silences in the existing literature and politics that mobilize these ideas and associations. It is the gap sand silences associated
with demands for and expectations of criminal justice that will be the particular concern of this article. The demand for
law is examined by way of David Garland's recent work on the culture of crime control. His work offers an analysis of the
contemporary place of crime control in Anglo-American liberal democracies. A distinctive feature of his analysis is to be
found in the way it maps an important paradox of contemporary crime control; its political centrality and an increasing recognition
of its limitations. Garland's ‘criminology of the self’ and the ‘criminology of the other’ raise some important challenges
for those who advocate resort to crime control. My particular concern is to consider the significance of Garland's work for
a contemporary sexual politics that puts violence and criminal justice at the heart of that politics. Feminist, gay and lesbian
scholarship first on criminal justice and second, on violence and law will be used to develop a critical dialogue with Garland's
analysis and to reflect upon the challenges raised by his insights into contemporary crime control.

Rape, sexual violence, psychological violence, and physical violence, among college students have been a concern. Lifetime events are often studied but not violence that specifically transpires while one is in college. Underrepresented groups such as Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, students who are gay, lesbian, and bisexual, and students who are members of racial and ethnic minorities have not been studied as extensively as White, heterosexual females. The authors used several measures to investigate the incidence of sexual violence, physical and psychological abuse among underrepresented groups in a random sample of 1,028 college students at a private, northeastern, technological campus in upstate New York, United States and analyzed victimization rates by gender, race/ethnicity, auditory status, and sexual orientation. Binary logistic regression analyses found that statistically significant differences are likely to exist between members of underrepresented groups and groups in the majority. The study found statistically significant associations between Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and students who were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other sexual orientation with psychological abuse and physical abuse. Racial and ethnic minorities and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other sexual orientation students were significantly more at risk for sexual abuse. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other sexual orientation students, students who were members of a racial or ethnic minority, and female students were significantly more likely to be raped. Female heterosexual students were more likely to be the victim of an attempted rape. Suggestions for further research and policy implications are provided. 相似文献

In this online vignette study, a national sample of domestic violence shelter service providers (N = 282) completed a 10-item questionnaire about a woman experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Scenarios varied in terms of couple sexual orientation (heterosexual or lesbian) and type of abuse (physical or nonphysical). Results indicate that although participants did not overtly discriminate against a woman in a lesbian relationship, they were less likely to perceive her as a victim, and their acceptance of a lesbian as a client was more dependent on their comfort with her than was the case for a woman in a heterosexual relationship. Type of abuse, as expected, had a main effect on many questions, with physical abuse taken more seriously than nonphysical abuse. Scores on the Attitudes Toward Lesbians subscale (Herek) were unrelated to responses. Implications for service providers are discussed. 相似文献

Intimate partner violence and HIV/STD risk among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals
To date, there has been little research examining HIV/STD risk among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals who are in abusive relationships. This article uses data collected from a community-based organization that provides counseling for LGBT victims of intimate partner violence (IPV). A total of 58 clients completed the survey, which inquired as to sexual violence and difficulties negotiating safer sex with their abusive partners. A large percentage of participants reported being forced by their partners to have sex (41%). Many stated that they felt unsafe to ask their abusive partners to use safer sex protection or that they feared their partners' response to safer sex (28%). In addition, many participants experienced sexual (19%), physical (21%), and/or verbal abuse (32%) as a direct consequence of asking their partner to use safer sex protection. Training counselors on issues of sexuality and safer sex will benefit victims of IPV. 相似文献

This article uses a path model to examine the relationship between violence exposure and domestic violence among police officers with the expectation that the relationships would be both direct and mediated. The mediation factors included burnout, authoritarian spillover, alcohol use, and department withdrawal. The model was tested through an analysis of data collected from 413 officers. Four mediation chains were identified; the most powerful of these was burnout and authoritarian spillover. Suggestions for future research include understanding violence in the context of unique workplace cultures, classifying violence types, and clarifying how this population defines violence and control. 相似文献

This article presents an integrated conceptual framework that contextualizes exposure to community violence and the interpersonal and interdependent processes of parent and child response to community violence. This model posits that parental distress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, is a significant mediator of child distress symptomatology and behavior problems. The model advances understanding of the impact of community violence in the lives of parents and children through various mechanisms, including social capital. This article underscores the need for a fundamental shift in the study of community violence, in the delivery of mental health services, and in prevention efforts from focusing on the individual child to concentrating on the parent, family, and community-level factors and processes. This article highlights important areas to address in future research, including investigation and specification of the mechanisms and processes by which neighborhoods affect and influence human development outcomes. 相似文献

The perpetration of severe inter-sibling violence (SISV) remains a largely unexplored area of family violence. This article describes an investigation of risk factors for intentional SISV perpetration. A sample of 111 young people under the care of the Scottish criminal justice or welfare systems was studied. A SISV perpetration interview schedule was developed to measure the influence of 43 potential predictor variables. The Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Levenson's Self-Report Psychopathy Scale were also employed in this exploratory analysis. 相似文献

This article discusses domestic violence, providing information and a review of literature regarding this phenomena. The article then goes on to describe a protocol developed by the Orange County (California) mediation and investigative unit that provides protection to the alleged victim of violence through the use of assessment interviews, co-mediation with a male-female mediation team, and the development of postparenting arrangements that provide for protection and security. The article also reviews a sample of 100 domestic violence cases handled in Orange County during 1991. Data from this research suggest that mediators using the protocols described in this article are able to guide the more serious, high-risk cases into more protective outcomes and that mediation can provide a very important adjunct to the trial court process. 相似文献

The Discourse of Sibling Violence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present study sought to identify the discourses that exist with regard to physical violence among siblings. The sample
consisted of 200 college students (60.5% female, 39.5% male) who completed a revised version of the Conflict Tactics Scales
and a self-labeling measure of sibling violence. Findings indicated that while the vast majority of the sample had experienced
sibling violence, they utilized terminology in a manner that failed to recognize their experiences as a form of violence.
When the data were classified according to gender and level of violence within the sibling relationship, quantitative analysis
indicated a difference in terminology. In an attempt to interpret these results from the theoretical perspective of discourse
as an aspect of social constructivism it was postulated that the study identified both a dominant discourse that renders physical
violence among siblings invisible and several subordinate discourses by which individuals reflect their varying characteristics.
It was suggested that future research utilize qualitative analysis to clarify and expand upon this interpretation.
This article is based on a master’s thesis conducted by Heather Hensman Kettrey.

Interpersonal violence within lesbian relationships is a significant yet understudied problem. Women attending a gay pride
festival in Atlanta, GA, were asked to complete a survey concerning same-sex interpersonal violence. Women who reported being
in a current or previous same-sex partner relationship were included in the analyses (N = 226). Factors that occurred in the context of interpersonal violence were investigated: substance use, HIV/STI risk behaviors,
barriers to reporting abuse, and attitudes inhibiting seeking of social support. In addition, the survey assessed relationship-related
power dynamics. Results of multivariate analyses support the hypotheses that power imbalance and inequality when making sex-related
decisions within women’s same-sex relationships are associated with interpersonal violence. Further findings suggested that
a combination of factors must be considered when dealing with and reducing the risk for violence in same-sex relationships. 相似文献

This article analyzes the issue of water contamination in Kashechewan, Ontario, Canada. Through an inquiry into the way in which water contamination in one Aboriginal community was handled by the local and federal governments, this article examines processes of ongoing colonialism in Canada. Drawing on an array of sources, this article explores three features pertinent to this water crisis: historical forms of legal violence, symbolic forms of representation concerning the relationship between nationalism and the governance of race in liberal democracies, and the importance of the case study approach when examining legalized forms of violence. By examining connections between race, nationalism, and legal violence, this article explores the ways in which biopolitical forms of racial governance require an analysis that links legal violence and structural violence to historical and symbolic forms of representation. 相似文献

Although domestic violence occurs in all types of relationships, non-prototypical cases (e.g., gay male, lesbian, female-against-male)
are often overlooked. We replicated and extended previous research demonstrating that perceptions of heterosexual and same-sex
domestic violence are generally consistent with gender-role stereotypes. Male and female undergraduates read one of four domestic
abuse cases varying by victim and perpetrator sex and sexual orientation. Victim sex, ratherthan sexual orientation, was the
most potent predictor of responses, although male-against-female violence was considered the most serious and deserving of
active intervention. Domestic violence perpetrated by men or against women was judged more serious than violence perpetrated
by women or against men. Perceptions that male perpetrators were more capable of injuring victims, and female victims were
more likely to suffer serious injury were consistent with gender-role stereotypes. 相似文献

The present study examined family of origin, individual characteristics, and intimate relationship variables as predictors of women’s reports (N?=?209; M?=?29.5 years) of physical aggression toward their current or most recent same-sex partner in the past year. Participants completed measures that assessed a series of family of origin, individual, and intimate relationship variables. Results of a least-squares regression revealed that identifying as heterosexual (as opposed to lesbian), higher levels of relationship fusion, more experiences of psychological aggression victimization, and having more prior physically aggressive relationships were associated with more frequent perpetration of partner violence. Results of exploratory models testing whether internalized homophobia or dominance/accommodation were indirectly related to physical aggression perpetration revealed that fusion (i.e., enmeshment with one’s partner) mediated the relationship between internalized homophobia and perpetration of partner violence. Similarly, fusion mediated the association between dominance/accommodation and the perpetration of partner violence. Findings underscore the importance that individual and relationship characteristics have in predicting partner violence perpetration in women’s same-sex relationships. 相似文献
