Book Synopsis Healing Violent Men by : David J. Livingston
Download or read book Healing Violent Men written by David J. Livingston and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence, forgiveness, and healing Domestic violence is a widespread, though largely invisible, problem, often exacerbated by the pastoral urge to "keep the family together" at all costs. Yet if that is not a solution, how should the church relate to batterers? "I believe that the Christian community, if it is to be genuinely a community of healing and hope, must attend to both the victims and the perpetrators of domestic violence", says David Livingston. Addressing the complex phenomenon of intimate violence against wives, lovers, and children, Livingston profiles batterers and battering and traces it to larger cultural pathologies. He explores the ambiguous role of religion and then offers practical advice of pastoral and programmatic efforts to embrace simultaneously the twin Christian imperatives of forgiveness and responsibility.
Book Synopsis Mad Blood Stirring by : Daemon Fairless
Download or read book Mad Blood Stirring written by Daemon Fairless and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a rare clarity and fearless honesty, journalist Daemon Fairless tackles the horrors and compulsions of male violence from the perspective of someone who struggles with violent impulses himself, creating a non-fiction masterpiece with the narrative power of novels such as Fight Club and A History of Violence. A man, no matter how civilized, is still an animal--and sometimes a dangerous one. Men are responsible for the lion's share of assault, rape, murder and warfare. Conventional wisdom chalks this up to socialization, that men are taught to be violent. And they are. But there's more to it. Violence is a dangerous desire--a set of powerful and inherent emotions we are loath to own up to. And so there remains a hidden geography to male violence--an inner ecosystem of rage, dominance, blood-lust, insecurity and bravado--yet to be mapped. Mad Blood Stirring is journalist Daemon Fairless's riveting first-person travelogue through this territory as he seeks to understand the inner lives of violent men and, ultimately, himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE REHABILITATION OF PARTNER-VIOLENT MEN “Informed by theory and evidence, this text offers a full account of a pressing social problem.” Professor Clive Hollin, School of Psychology, The University of Leicester, UK “This is a book which clearly sets out the history, theoretical developments, interventions and possibilities for the future within a UK context. It is an excellent source of good information about where we are and an excellent springboard for future developments in both research and practice.” Professor Liz Gilchrist, Department of Psychology, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK “Erica Bowen’s book The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men is a timely and important contribution to the literature of effective interventions. The content would be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners” Dr. Nicola Graham-Kevan, School of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, UK Violence within intimate relationships is not just a modern occurrence; yet, while the nature of the abuse has changed little over hundreds of years, great strides have been made in dealing with male perpetrators of domestic violence in the UK. The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men presents an historical account of the policy changes that have led to the provision of rehabilitation programmes for male perpetrators of intimate partner violence within the British criminal justice system. Drawing on both national and international literature, the book provides an overview of the theoretical foundation behind current approaches to rehabilitation, as well as a critical examination of evaluation methodology and an appraisal of the effectiveness of current practices. While probing deeply into the nature of intimate partner-violence, The Rehabilitation of Partner-Violent Men offers rich and revealing insights into the efficacy of intervention programmes, and their profound influences on the lives of millions of women around the world each year.

Download or read book Violent Manhood written by J. E. Sumerau and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book touches on all of the hot-topic issues of masculinity and violence, including gun violence, sexual assault and the #MeToo movement, violence against women, LGBTQ people, and people of color. Its unique approach will add to many conversations that should, as Sumerau explains, be focused on masculinity and are far too often focused on something else. Taking the approach of talking with young college men who are privileged provides a unique look at how manhood and masculinity may not be progressing like many people hope and provides insights from all angles to critically examine the ways men construct and explain relationships between violence, manhood, and inequality in society.

Book Synopsis Violent Men, Violent Couples by : Anson D. Shupe
Download or read book Violent Men, Violent Couples written by Anson D. Shupe and published by Free Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book profiles the characteristics and causes of violence between husbands and wives, then describes a systems approach for counselling spouse abusers. The research is based on a sample of 241 known violent men, supplemented with information on 542 others. The analysis considers the men's motives, their social circumstances, their demography, and their feelings about the victims and their own violence. Similar information, obtained from a literature review, is presented for violent wives. Among the causative factors identified are stress, previous learning, and traumatic childhood experiences. The study illuminates the culture of male violence, exploring why violence in active military families is three times as severe as that in civilian families and the fact that religion is an underused resource for addressing the problem. The systems approach to counselling spouse abusers focuses on both persons in a violent relationship and emphasizes multiple causes. The treatment mode is matched to the severity and extent of violence as well as the context in which the violence occurs. (NCJRS, modified).

But under the plan 'Future Victory,' his execution would be deferred for two years, while he was 'taught' to think as his enemies did. To resist his tormentors was futile. His only chance for survival was to maintain control of his own mind... whatever the price. And soon, he was engaged in a brutal psychological duel between captive and ruthless captor... until he realized the frightening similarity between himself and the woman who held is life in her hands."--Pg.

Download or read book Some Men written by Michael A. Messner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean for men to join with women as allies in preventing sexual assault and domestic violence? Based on life history interviews with men and women anti-violence activists aged 22 to 70, Some Men explores the strains and tensions of men's work as feminist allies. When feminist women began to mobilize against rape and domestic violence, setting up shelters and rape crisis centers, a few men asked what they could do to help. They were directed "upstream," and told to "talk to the men" with the goal of preventing future acts of violence. This is a book about men who took this charge seriously, committing themselves to working with boys and men to stop violence, and to change the definition of what it means to be a man. The book examines the experiences of three generational cohorts: a movement cohort of men who engaged with anti-violence work in the 1970s and early 1980s, during the height of the feminist anti-violence mobilizations; a bridge cohort who engaged with anti-violence work from the mid-1980s into the 1990s, as feminism receded as a mass movement and activists built sustainable organizations; a professional cohort who engaged from the mid-1990s to the present, as anti-violence work has become embedded in community and campus organizations, non-profits, and the state. Across these different time periods, stories from life history interviews illuminate men's varying paths--including men of different ethnic and class backgrounds--into anti-violence work. Some Men explores the promise of men's violence prevention work with boys and men in schools, college sports, fraternities, and the U.S. military. It illuminates the strains and tensions of such work--including the reproduction of male privilege in feminist spheres--and explores how men and women navigate these tensions.

Download or read book Why Young Men written by Jamil Jivani and published by All Points Books. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, we see an explosion of unpredictable violence committed by alienated young men. Jamil Jivani recounts his experiences working as a youth activist throughout North America and the Middle East, drawing striking parallels between ISIS recruits, gangbangers, and Neo-Nazis in the West. Having narrowly escaped a descent into crime and gang violence in his native Toronto, Jivani has devoted his life to helping other at-risk youths avoid this fate in cities across North America. After the Paris terrorist attacks of 2016, he traveled to Europe and the Middle East to assist Muslim community outreach groups focused on deterring ISIS recruitment. Why Young Men is the story of Jivani’s education as an activist on the front lines of one of today’s most dangerous and intractable problems: the explosion of violence among angry young men throughout the world. Jivani relates his personal story and describes his entrance into the community outreach movement, his work with disenfranchised people of color in North America and at-risk youth in the Middle East and Africa, and his experiences with the white working class. The reader learns along with him as he profiles a diverse array of young men and interviews those who are trying to help them, drawing parallels between these groups, refuting the popular belief that they are radically different from each other, and offering concrete steps toward countering this global trend.

Book Synopsis Risk Assessment for Domestically Violent Men by : N. Zoe Hilton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a domestic violence victims first call to police or visit to a womens shelter, through the offenders bail, sentencing, parole, and treatment program, criminal justice officers and clinicians must make informed decisions about which cases need the most attention as well as ensure targeted provisions are in place to prevent recurrences of violence. Authors Hilton, Harris, and Rice make a powerful case for using actuarial risk assessments to predict recidivism in male domestic violence offenders. These assessments, the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment (ODARA) and the Domestic Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (DVRAG), are the first in the field. The ODARA/DVRAG system helps criminal justice officials and clinicians decide which offenders pose the greatest risk to therefore preclude the most dangerous cases from falling through the cracks. Notably, the authors assert that systematically implementing these tools into public policy will reduce the number of violent assaults on women by their partners. The book draws on the authors in-depth empirical studies of violent men and their extensive experience with recidivism risk assessment in policing, court cases, offender assessment, and victim services. It is also a users manualreplete with all the scoring, reporting, and interpreting details needed to effectively use the ODARA/DVRAG system. The inclusion of case examples, FAQs, scoring tools and forms, and sample assessment reports makes this an excellent resource for any professional working directly with domestic violence offenders or training criminal justice officers to conduct these risk assessments.
