Social disorganization theory asserts that neighborhood composition affects levels of violence within the community. The purpose
of this article is to analyze the bivariate effects of social disorganization, crime, and collective efficacy, in addition
to the individual factors of gender, race, and a history of child maltreatment, on the acceptance of using violence within
the family. Data from the Norfolk Police Department (2000–2004), 2000 Census, and 2006 Norfolk Residents’ Attitudes about
Crime Survey were used to determine differences in approval of family violence. Results indicated that approval for family
violence is an individual-level phenomenon as well as a community-level occurrence. Various aspects of family violence elicit
different levels of tolerance by both micro- and macro-level characteristics. Implications are discussed. 相似文献

Domestic violence continues to be a significant social problem impacting our society. Battered women and their children experience
a myriad of negative consequences as a result of domestic violence. Of the possible negative sequelae that mothers and children
experience, the disrupted parent–child relationship has received relatively little attention in the literature. Though psychosocial
interventions are available to treat women who experience violence and children who witness violence, few interventions focus
on the parent–child relationship. This article describes parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT), a relationship-based intervention.
Although not initially developed to treat domestic violence, PCIT has unique characteristics that make it a promising intervention
with this population. A rationale for the use of PCIT with battered women and their children is presented. 相似文献

This study analyzed data collected by the U.S. Army’s Family Advocacy Program, the group primarily responsible for family
violence prevention, identification, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up on Army installations. Patterns of spouse abuse
and child abuse perpetrated within a five year period (2000–2004) were examined in a sample of 10,864 Army Soldiers who were
substantiated for family violence offenses. Three groups of family violence offenders were compared: (1) those who perpetrated
spouse offenses only; (2) those who perpetrated child offenses only; and (3) those who perpetrated both spouse and child offenses.
Results showed that the majority of substantiated family violence offenders were spouse offenders who had not committed child
abuse (61%), followed by child offenders who had not committed spouse abuse (27%), and finally those who committed both spouse
and child offenses (12%). The three groups of family violence offenders differed in terms of the types of abuse they perpetrated
(neglect of children, emotional abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse), their experiences of being a spouse abuse victim,
and sociodemographic characteristics. Twelve percent of all spouse abusers committed multiple spouse abuse incidents, and
10% of all child abusers committed multiple child abuse incidents. 相似文献

The author attempts to apply semiotic analysis to a question of family law. By examining the language used by the Supreme
Court in the title case, Michael H. v. Gerald D., along with the case briefs, lower court opinions, other Supreme Court cases and prior legal scholarship, the author attempts
to determine the requisite relationships between father–child and father–mother in order for a legal tie to exist between
a father and his biological child. The author tries to not only determine the necessary circumstances but also the political
ideology that distinguishes these familial ties. The author further attempts to analyze the goals of these underlying political
ideologies. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify aspects of family relationships that may protect young children from the pathogenic
effects of family violence. Using a sample of 30 preschool-age children whose mothers were physically abused by a partner,
we investigated the associations between children’s externalizing and internalizing behavior problems and: (1) the quality
of the mother–child relationship, and (2) mothers’ attunement to their child’s sad and angry emotions. Results indicated that
clinician ratings of the mother–child relationship, and mothers’ attunement to their child’s experience of emotion each made
a unique contribution to the prediction of children’s externalizing behavior. These relationships remained robust, even after
taking the severity of domestic violence reported by mothers into consideration. Maternal attunement, however, did not mediate
the relationship between marital conflict and children’s behavior problems. No significant link was found between children’s
internalizing behavior and maternal attunement to their children’s sadness and anger. Additional findings suggested that mothers
with a PTSD diagnosis tended to be less attuned to their child’s experience of sadness.
This investigation was supported by grants from the Irving B. Harris Foundation, the Pinewood Foundation, the Miriam and Peter
Haas Foundation, and a REAC Award from the University of California, San Francisco to the second author. 相似文献

Screening for potential child abuse is an essential component of work in many child and family services. The Child Abuse Potential
inventory (CAP; Milner 1986) is one measure developed to help in this task. The primary aim of this review is to critically evaluate studies reporting
psychometric information of the CAP. A previous paper by Milner (Clinical Psychology Review 14(6): 547–583 1994) reviewed studies evaluating the psychometric properties of the measure up to 1994. Since then over 100 articles have been
published that consider the measurement properties of this tool. This review considers 27 papers published since Milner’s
(Clinical Psychology Review 14(6): 547–583 1994) review that clarify previous findings in relation to specific psychometric properties of the CAP. In particular, this review
focuses on studies that provide information on the cross-cultural validity of the CAP, on the internal consistency of the
CAP measure as a whole and its subscales, or on sensitivity and specificity classification rates. Studies providing information
on the differential validity of the CAP (using at least two differentiated sample groups) or the efficacy of the CAP to identify
change are also considered. Published evidence suggests that the CAP can help assess for a range of difficulties associated
with increased risk for physical child abuse. The CAP scales have shown good internal consistency estimates across sample
groups and cultures, with similar underlying themes for CAP factors reported for the different cultures studied. The differential
validity of the CAP has also been shown, although sensitivity and specificity classification rates have varied. The CAP appears
able to indicate some degree of pre—to post-intervention change, although further investigation is required to clarify what
changes in CAP scores actually reflect. Further investigation of this measure in other countries is also required. 相似文献

The literature on corruption in countries in the course of transition is likely to escalate in the light of changes in Eastern
Europe (Holmes 1997, Varese 1997). The ‘end of empire’ is associated with the breakdown in the rule of law. Through a variety
of subterfuges, both individuals and corporate bodies seek to ensure their own survival, within the matrix of the collapse
of legal order. In South Africa, similar transformations, as epitomised by the hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,
have provided a window of opportunity to unveil the mechanisms which maintained that apartheid regime for nearly half a century.
Understanding that complex practice of state deviance entails recognising the different levels of state power and malpractice
in that country. This article flows directly from the Foucauldian notion of the decentralisation of power in modern society.
Power in the authoritarian state is not just a function of a clearly-defined state apparatus. Rather that locus co-exists
with various sub-foci at lower levels of state and civil society, in which local interactions and power relations, contribute
to the totality of control. Apartheid survived for many years not because it signified an authoritarian centralised state
but because it could rely on individuals and agencies at lower strata of power to contribute their own efforts to sustaining
that abnormal structure. Deviance by state personnel at different levels – to which the Nelson's eye was turned – was critical
to the maintenance of white hegemony. The article focuses directly on one such nexus – the extent to which different interests
– financial, organisational, and a commitment to racial hegemony – cooperated in a seamless web to ensure that the white rule
was paramount in micro-level decision-making structures. Micro-level influences on police training and of police promotions
– deviant by any conventional yardstick-served both state and individual interests.

This paper examines the relationships between several measures of couple interaction and children’s health. We hypothesize
that more maternal input in decision-making, joint discussion of health issues, and the absence of violence and male control
are conducive to better child health. Mortality and nutritional status are used as measures of child health. Analyses are
based on Demographic and Health Surveys in five Latin American countries (Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Haiti and Nicaragua). Violence
is the best interaction predictor of poor nutrition and lack of female autonomy is the best predictor of higher mortality.
Joint discussion of family planning and joint decision-making about household issues are also predictive of child health.
Male controlling behavior did not have a strong relationship with health outcomes in most countries. Overall, findings indicate
that positive couple interaction is associated with improved health outcomes for children. 相似文献

Prior research has provided substantial evidence that child maltreatment and exposure to physical intimate partner violence
(IPV) are associated with increased externalizing behavior problems among children and adolescents. However, little is known
about the effects of exposure to psychological IPV and exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling. Using a total sample (N = 2,572) and subsample (n = 441) of children ages 3–18 years old, the purpose of this study was to assess whether cumulative types of family violence
lead to higher mean externalizing behavior scores and to examine the effects of single types of indirect and direct family
violence on children’s mean externalizing behavior scores. Results confirmed that children who experienced any type of family
violence victimization had higher mean externalizing behavior scores compared to children with no history of family violence;
however, few differences in externalizing behavior scores were found as the number of family violence types increased. Children
who experienced indirect types of family violence (e.g., exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling) had higher externalizing
behavior scores than children who experienced direct maltreatment (e.g., child physical abuse). Findings from this study suggest
that researchers and service providers should adopt a broader conceptualization of family violence victimization and increase
the amount of services provided to children who are indirectly victimized. 相似文献

This article explores, through American eyes, the choice oflaw rules associated with the child support aspects of the proposedHague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Supportand Other Forms of Family Maintenance. It considers the rolethese rules play in capturing the "construct" that is the "family"for the purposes of child support by implicitly determiningwho is an acceptable claimant and who is an appropriate obligor.In addition, the rules determine which jurisdiction's law willestablish the amount of support and thus, implicitly, they determinewhich jurisdiction sets the standards for family "performance".American constitutional law demands a connection between theindividual to be burdened and the jurisdiction imposing thatburden. The proposed rules seem designed to take this into account,but doing so requires the scheme to abandon a preference forrelying on the law of the creditor's habitual residence. Americanchild support proceedings use pre-established guidelines todetermine the amount of any child support award. These guidelines,which are premised on economic conditions in the individualstates, are not suited to dealing with international disputes.The cases suggest that American courts are reluctant to abandonthe efficiency of the guidelines in favor of detailed fact basedanalysis, even if the result is an "inappropriate" order –certainty comes at a price. 相似文献

This article examines the use of family group conferencing in child protection and considers its ability to privilege the voice of children and families who reach the attention of statutory child protection services. The family group conference (FGC) is a process of family decision-making in child protection, originally developed in Aotearoa New Zealand, and now practised in many countries including the UK. Examining the literature and research relating to the FGC it considers whether the approach provides a genuine context of participation and partnership, or whether it has become an instrumental professionally led practice as families are charged with greater responsibilities for children at risk. 相似文献

In this paper we study empirically the relationship between the volume of trade and foreign direct investment in Poland using
the FDI augmented gravity equation derived from the modified Chamberlin–Heckscher–Ohlin model with multinational firms and
complete specialization in production. We find that FDI contributes positively to the development of international trade between
Poland and OECD countries, although the complete specialization C–H–O model with multinational firms does not find support
in the data. In contrast, it seems that incomplete specialization H–O model better explains Poland’s trade with the OECD countries.
The lack of support for the complete specialization model suggests that the vertical model of the multinational firm may not
be appropriate for explaining trade and FDI patterns between Poland and the OECD countries. Therefore, other than labor cost
reduction motives might explain the expansion of multinational firms’ activity in Poland. In the light of provided empirical
evidence the fears of relocation of labor intensive assembly plants from the west to the east may not be fully justified. 相似文献

To advance debates on legal responses to parenting by gay andlesbian couples, this article introduces reforms enacted bythe legislature of Quebec, a civil law jurisdiction with a codifiedprivate law, in 2002. Quebec's pioneering regime permits twopersons of the same sex to register as a child's parents frombirth, not only by adoption. They may do so if they conceivedthe child as part of a parental project. Moreover,a person alone may have a child via a parental project. Thearticle identifies the policy choices reflected in the amendmentsand highlights weaknesses in the drafting, instructive to policymakers in civil law or common law jurisdictions. It emphasizesthe structural difficulty of amending the civil law's fundamentalinstitution of filiation to recognize two parents of the samesex. Comparing with ad hoc judicial developments from a Canadiancommon law province, it underscores the potential in systematiclegislative reform. Conservative scholars have resisted thenew regime as an inappropriate departure from the pursuit offiliation's biological vocation. The study reveals how selectivelyjurists may remember the past and how swiftly they may characterizeinnovations relating to parentage – such as the earlierabolition of illegitimacy – as natural. The mingling ofbiological fact and fiction in the new regime underscores thesimilar blending in more traditional forms of filiation. 相似文献

This study investigated and compared the rates of child maltreatment as reported by parents and children. Self-reports of
1,093 children aged 12 to 18, which were matched with both parents’ records, were compared and analyzed in the study. The
levels of agreement between parent and child reporting of various kinds of parental child maltreatment were low to moderate.
Factors affecting the disagreement in reports were also investigated. Social desirability and violence approval were the common
predictors of disagreement in father-child and mother-child reports, respectively. The low agreement between parent–child
reports found in the present study highlights the need for the inclusion of both parent and child reports on maltreatment
in future clinical screening and intervention programs. 相似文献

The issue of wrongful disability arises when parents face the choice whether to produce a child whose life will be unavoidably flawed by a serious disease
or disorder (Down syndrome, for example, or Huntington’s disease) yet clearly worth living. The authors of From Chance to Choice claim, with certain restrictions, that the choice to produce such a child is morally wrong. They then argue that an intuitive
moral approach––a “person-affecting” approach that pins wrongdoing to the harming of some existing or future person––cannot
account for that wrong since the choice to produce such a child cannot, under the logic of the nonidentity problem, harm that
child. The authors propose that we supplement the person-affecting approach with an “impersonal” principle that takes the
form of their well-known principle N. In this paper, I argue that the authors are mistaken to suppose that a plausibly articulated
person-affecting approach cannot account for the wrong of wrongful disability. We can retain an intuitive, comparative, “worse
for” account of harm and still identify serious harms imposed by the choice of wrongful disability. In particular, I argue
that harm, both to the impaired child and to others, comes not in the form of that procreative choice’s procreative effect but rather in the form of its many distributive effects. I also argue that the rare, residual case in which a person-affecting approach would approve of the choice of wrongful
disability does not function as a counterexample to that approach. As a separate matter, I address legal claims for wrongful
disability, which are closely akin to claims for wrongful life. The legal claim is brought by the impaired child, not against the parents, but rather against health care providers whose
negligent failure to diagnose or inform parents of an increased risk of a genetic or congenital impairment results in the
birth of the impaired child. The authors’ treatment of the moral wrong that is done as impersonal in nature suggests that
courts are correct to dismiss any such claim. Once we identify harm, however, the person-affecting approach can identify a
clear foundation in the law for the wrongful disability claim. 相似文献

This article provides an analysis of the flaws in the Canadian legal system with respect to child rights, in the light of
the three Ps set forth by former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler (2004–2006): Protection, Prosecution, and Prevention.
Contrary to the general trend of research on “youth” crime which focuses on the visible criminal activities of children and
for which they are readily ascribed the status of “young offenders,” I examine whether the legal system is just as swift in
giving child victims adequate Protection and Prosecution against their assailants. Six specific child victimization contexts
have been identified, which are all characterized by invisibility: in the home, in care, in school and public spaces as well
as by corporations and the criminal justice system. I explore why these victimizations are invisible and what legal protection
is offered to affected children. Finally, I analyse the extent to which a fourth P, that of Participation, can strengthen
the three Ps of Protection, Prosecution and Prevention in fighting crimes committed against children.
The contents of this article reflect the author’s opinions only.

Within a remarkably short time, functioning asylum systems wereset up in the countries of the Western Balkans largely thanksto the joint advocacy of and co-operation between UNHCR andthe EU, and, in particular, to the realization of a joint regionalproject implemented by UNHCR 2004–5. This article examinesthe basis and rationale for the two organizations involvementin asylum matters in the region and assesses the progress madein relation to asylum building. It also identifies best practices,some of the challenges encountered and suggests the way forward.It argues that, although the international community did succeedin establishing fair and efficient asylum procedures, the realchallenges still lie ahead. 相似文献

The judgment enforcement in a legal framework is concerned with many principles that underlie and enrich macro-theory. The
current theory has made progress in it, but few is related to the specific structure of the regime. This article analyzes
the present problems of enforcing court’s judgment in China. In accordance with relevant theories and by reference to experiences
of other countries and areas, it treats with the problems concerning enforcement body, enforcement jurisdiction, the term
of enforcement application, enforcement notice, property investigation of the forced measures, enforcement assistance, enforcement
termination, enforcement remedies, enforcement deterrence and so on, which are calling on to improve the enforcement framework.

Family support and maintenance laws in several developing countries with mixed legal traditions derived from colonial and local laws are based on a litigation model. This model often fails to give adequate legal relief in the socioeconomic context of poverty. The situation is made worse by inequitable and gender‐biased inheritance laws. This article will use examples mainly from countries in South Asia and Commonwealth Africa to demonstrate how reformist legislation and constitutional jurisprudence in the area of public law and judicial activism highlight the issues that must be addressed if the legal system is to provide an effective system of family support and maintenance. 相似文献
