Predictability of Physical and Psychological Violence by Early Adverse Childhood Experiences

Early Adverse Childhood experiences (ACEs) in families of origin can take the form of witnessing it and/or being its victim, both of which can lead to the occurrence of domestic violence. Given such close linkage, the purpose of the present study was to determine the predictive abilities of ACEs regarding specific types of physical and psychological violence. To do so, 50 couples from those referred to five different family courts in Tehran to seek divorce due to domestic violence, were randomly selected and administered an author’s-made questionnaire assessing different types of physical and psychological violence and the participant’s history of abuse by their parents. Our findings showed that witnessing domestic violence in childhood can predict different types of physical and psychological violence, but mostly could account for “hitting” of the physical type and “cursing” of the psychological type. Similarly, being the victim of domestic violence mostly accounted for predict “strangling” of the physical type and “cursing” of the psychological type. Such results are discussed in the context of the existing literature and underscore ACEs importance in terms of their predictive ability of various types of physical and psychological violence.     

Targeted Neighborhood Sampling: A New Approach for Recruiting Abusive Couples

We conducted two studies to test the utility of a new strategy for recruiting couples experiencing intimate partner violence. This new strategy, Targeted Neighborhood Sampling, involves utilizing police reports of family fight calls to target particular areas within a city for recruitment efforts. Study I compared the efficacy of using this method to recruit a random versus a convenience sample. Results demonstrated that Targeted Neighborhood Sampling was most effective when recruiting a convenience sample of participants who responded to flyers left at their residences. Study II used a convenience sample and replicated the findings from Study I. Across the two studies, 40.4% of those who called after receiving a flyer experienced male-to-female partner violence within the past year. In addition, we combined data across studies and correlated types of violence the couples experienced with variables commonly associated with abuse. Psychological aggression, physical assault, and injury were all positively associated with reports of demand-withdrawal and mutual avoidance during conflict, as well as depression and symptoms of post traumatic disorder syndrome. Sexual coercion was associated with drug abuse. These results demonstrate the utility and validity of Targeted Neighborhood Sampling.

Does Controlling Behavior Predict Physical Aggression and Violence to Partners?

Using data obtained from women’s shelter residents, male and female students, and male prisoners, this study investigated the association between non-violent controlling behaviors, physical aggression, and violence towards a spouse (N = 264). It was predicted that only men and women involved in intimate terrorism (Johnson, Violence Against Women, 11(12):1003–1018, 2006) would use controlling aggression, and that physical aggression used by those involved in situational couple violence would be unrelated to controlling behavior. Contrary to predictions derived from Johnson’s theory, regression analysis showed that control accounted significant proportions of the variance in the use of physical aggression for all three relationship categories. Some support was provided, however, as it was found that the pattern of both interrelationships of the five types of controlling behaviors, and control and physical aggression, supported Johnson’s distinction.     

公安院校警体技能课余训练制约因素分析及机制构建探讨

正通过文献资料,实地访谈、坐谈和个案调查等方法,对四川警察学院以及部分同类兄弟院校警体技能课余训练现状进行了调查,分析探讨了当前公安院校课余训练开展过程中存在的问题,并针对问题提出理论支持和实践参考。研究发现,当前我国部分公安院校警体技能教育“重课堂、轻课余”现象仍然存在。课余训练科目单一、竞赛形式传统;学生终身体育意识不强;师资匮乏,能动性不高;场地设备有限;领导重视不够;课余训练管理保障机制欠缺等问题,是制约课余训练良性开展的主要素。     

公安院校开设传统太极拳课程的功效探析

传统太极拳的练习能有效提升警察的身体健康水平,鉴于传统太极拳源于技击、发展于养生的特点,因此,公安院校把传统太极拳作为学员的警体训练的必修课,能提高警务人员的攻防实战能力和自我体能恢复能力。通过学习传统太极拳,还能促进公安院校学员对中华民族传统文化的了解,逐步培养学员的终生体育观,长期练习还能提高警务人员的预期寿命。     

公安特警体能训练方式与方法探析简

近年来,随着社会治安形势的复杂化以及我国警务改革的不断发展,公安特警需要经过特殊体能训练,掌握特殊技能,去执行特殊任务。特警具备良好的体能素质,有利于提高公安机关的整体执法战斗力。特警体能素质训练方法与手段,是在体能训练过程中完成训练任务所采取的途径、手段和方式。而公安特警体能素质训练中应正确运用和选择各种方法与手段,同时要妥善处理体能训练中常见的运动损伤,并做好预防工作。对公安特警体能素质的评价不能只依靠简单的几个量化指标来确定,而应从较能体现人体的基本活动能力的多个项目中科学选取确定。     

Predictors of Child Behavior Problems among Children of Female Vietnam Veterans

This study examined the impacts of intimate partner aggression by female Vietnam veterans and their male partners on their children’s behavior problems (N = 100 children). Veteran and partner psychological distress were also examined as potential mediators of these relationships. Results indicated that physical and psychological aggression perpetration by both the female veteran and the male partner was associated with child behavior problems. Contrary to expectations, psychological distress in the veteran and partner was not associated with child behavior problems and did not mediate the effects of physical and psychological aggression on this outcome.     

警察体育与警务技能辨析

警察体育是一种健全警察身体的基础教育活动,是发展警察体能、增进其身心健康、提高其工作效率和生活质量的体育训练活动,具有体育科学和体育教育的属性。警务技能是一种增强警察职业技术的能力的应用教育活动,是警察掌握职业技术,增强实战技能,提高战术意识,满足警务活动需求的技能训练活动,具有应用学科和应用教育的属性。前者是以身体教育为目标的基础教育,后者是以职业教育为目标的应用教育。两者既有鲜明的共性,又有各自的特征。     

Never Pick a Fight with an Ugly Person,They’ve Got Nothing to Lose

In the 1970s, social psychologists conducted numerous studies analyzing physical appearance as a social variable. More recent studies in the social sciences appear to have abandoned this topic as unimportant; in any case, very few social scientific studies have been found that incorporate a measure of attractiveness into their analyses. The present study seeks to revive the emphasis on physical attractiveness as a social variable by testing the relationship between crime severity and physical attractiveness, i.e., by presenting evidence to suggest that physically unattractive men commit more serious offenses.
