Book Synopsis Exploring a Multi-integrated Model of Gay Male Partner Abuse by : Jesmen Turingan Mendoza
Download or read book Exploring a Multi-integrated Model of Gay Male Partner Abuse written by Jesmen Turingan Mendoza and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of partner abuse has been documented in the literature over the past 30 years. However, it is only in the last decade that studies have started to focus on partner abuse in gay male relationships. Most of the quantitative research has focused on prevalence and incidence rates. Although correlates of gay partner abuse has been studied it has not been guided by theory. Most of the theories about gay partner abuse have been based on heterosexual partner abuse models. Recent trends in theory development have suggested that a number of theories be combined to create a multi-integrated model of partner abuse. The current study tested this trend by surveying 155 men across North America (i.e., Canada and the United States) on a variety of variables established or hypothesized by the literature to influence gay male partner abuse. These variables acted as indicators to four factors that this study has suggested will act in concert to influence partner abuse in gay men. These four factors that were studied were: Clinical, Socio-Political, Orientation-Specific, and Previous Social Learning. The Clinical Factor concerned itself with indicator variables that were related to personality features and alcohol use, while the Socio-Political Factor focused on indicators of perception of power and satisfaction. The Orientation-Specific Factor had indicator variables related to minority stress and attitudes towards myths of same-sex partner abuse, while the Previous Social Learning Factor was concerned with experiencing child abuse or exposure to domestic violence. This study analyzed whether these factors had an effect on Partner Abuse via Structural Equation Modeling. This analysis found that the Clinical, the Orientation-Specific and the Previous Social Learning Factors had a direct effect on Partner Abuse. Additionally, the Previous Social Learning Factor not only had a direct or proximal effect on Partner Abuse, it also had an indirect or distal impact via Orientation-Specific Factor. The Socio-Political Factor did not have a significant effect on Partner Abuse, but Previous Social Learning had an effect on Socio-Political. The relationships between these factors and their effect on Partner Abuse were delineated. Implications for theory, practice and future research are discussed.
Download or read book Violent Differences written by Doug Meyer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although sexual assault has received increasing attention since #MeToo became widely known, little attention has focused on the experiences of queer men who have experienced this violence. Violent Differences is the first book of its kind to focus specifically on queer male survivors and to devote particular attention to Black queer men. While previous scholarship on male survivors has emphasized the role of masculinity, Doug Meyer shows that race and sexuality should be considered as equally foundational as gender. Instead of considering sexual assault against queer men in the abstract, this book draws attention to survivors' lived experiences. Meyer examines interview data with 60 queer men who have experienced sexual assault, highlighting their interactions with the police and their experiences of victim blaming. This book expands approaches to sexual assault through an analysis of a new group of survivors and by revealing that race, gender, and sexuality all remain essential for understanding how this violence is experienced"--
Book Synopsis What Does Violence Tell Us about Gay Male Couple Relationships? by : Damian McCann
Download or read book What Does Violence Tell Us about Gay Male Couple Relationships? written by Damian McCann and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on intimate partner violence and abuse in same-sex couple's relationships is still a relatively new area of interest. Given the silence surrounding this form of abuse within the field, there is much to be learned by research focusing on its meaning. This research study examined violence and abuse in the couple's relationships of gay men from a British perspective. The study is located within a phenomenological approach, designed to capture the essence of the individual's experience. The choice of a grounded theory approach for the analysis of the data rested on it being particularly helpful in generating theory in areas where this is lacking. However, the challenge of recruiting participants to the study limited the utility of the method, highlighting the ongoing difficulty of gaining access to sexual minority participants for studies involving sensitive issues. Eight participants, all gay men, were recruited and semi-structured interviews administered as a basis for generating data. A focus group discussion also formed part of the study and considered the question of whether same-sex partner abuse is the same or different from that seen in heterosexual couple's relationships. Findings suggest that love for one's partner, hope for change and quality of sex, accounted for the ongoing investment made by these men in their violent and abusive relationships. The emphasis on physical abuse diminished the importance of other forms of abuse, i.e. emotional, psychological and financial abuse. The direction of the abuse was in contrast to that seen in heterosexual relationships, i.e. the partner with most instrumental power, was the one most at risk of abuse. There was little 5 recognition of the impact of homophobia or internalized homophobia as possible contributory factors in the development of violence and abuse. Participants tended to rely on their own resources rather than seeking outside help and the clinical implications of this were considered.
Book Synopsis Queering Asylum in Europe by : Carmelo Danisi
Download or read book Queering Asylum in Europe written by Carmelo Danisi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume open-access book offers a theoretically and empirically-grounded portrayal of the experiences of people claiming international protection in Europe on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI). It shows how European asylum systems might and should treat asylum claims based on people’s SOGI in a fairer, more humane way. Through a combined comparative, interdisciplinary (socio-legal), human rights, feminist, queer and intersectional approach, this book examines not only the legal experiences of people claiming asylum on grounds of their SOGI, but also their social experiences outside the asylum decision-making framework. The authors analyse how SOGI-related claims are adjudicated in different European frameworks (European Union, Council of Europe, Germany, Italy and UK) and offer detailed recommendations to adequately address the intersectional experiences of individuals seeking asylum. This unique approach ensures that the book is of interest not only to researchers in migration and refugee studies, law and wider academic communities, but also to policy makers and practitioners in the field of SOGI asylum.

Book Synopsis Queer Migration and Asylum in Europe by : Richard C. M. Mole
Download or read book Queer Migration and Asylum in Europe written by Richard C. M. Mole and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is a popular destination for LGBTQ people seeking to escape discrimination and persecution. Yet, while European institutions have done much to promote the legal equality of sexual minorities and a number of states pride themselves on their acceptance of sexual diversity, the image of European tolerance and the reality faced by LGBTQ migrants and asylum seekers are often quite different. To engage with these conflicting discourses, Queer Migration and Asylum in Europe brings together scholars from politics, sociology, urban studies, anthropology and law to analyse how and why queer individuals migrate to or seek asylum in Europe, as well as the legal, social and political frameworks they are forced to navigate to feel at home or to regularise their status in the destination societies. The subjects covered include LGBTQ Latino migrants’ relationship with queer and diasporic spaces in London; diasporic consciousness of queer Polish, Russian and Brazilian migrants in Berlin; the role of the Council of Europe in shaping legal and policy frameworks relating to queer migration and asylum; the challenges facing bisexual asylum seekers; queer asylum and homonationalism in the Netherlands; and the role of space, faith and LGBTQ organisations in Germany, Italy, the UK and France in supporting queer asylum seekers.

Book Synopsis Femicide across Europe by : Weil, Shalva
Download or read book Femicide across Europe written by Weil, Shalva and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Femicide, the killing of women and girls because of their gender, was until recently included in the category ‘homicide’, obscuring the special features of this social and gendered phenomenon. However, the majority of murders of women are perpetrated by men whom they know from family ties and are the result of intimate partner violence or so-called 'honour' killings. This book is the first one on femicide in Europe and presents the findings of a four-year project discussing various aspects of femicide. Written by leading international scholars with an interdiscplinary perspective, it looks at the prevention programmes and comparative quantitative and qualitative data collection, as well as the impact of culture. It proposes the establishment of a European Observatory on Femicide as a new direction for the future, showing the benefits of cross-national collaboration, united to prevent the murder of women and girls.
Book Synopsis Gender in Refugee Law by : Efrat Arbel
Download or read book Gender in Refugee Law written by Efrat Arbel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions of gender have strongly influenced the development of international refugee law over the last few decades. This volume assesses the progress toward appropriate recognition of gender-related persecution in refugee law. It documents the advances made following intense advocacy around the world in the 1990s, and evaluates the extent to which gender has been successfully integrated into refugee law. Evaluating the research and advocacy agendas for gender in refugee law ten years beyond the 2002 UNHCR Gender Guidelines, the book investigates the current status of gender in refugee law. It examines gender-related persecution claims of both women and men, including those based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and explores how the development of an anti-refugee agenda in many Western states exponentially increases vulnerability for refugees making gendered claims. The volume includes contributions from scholars and members of the advocacy community that allow the book to examine conceptual and doctrinal themes arising at the intersection of gender and refugee law, and specific case studies across major Western refugee-receiving nations. The book will be of great interest and value to researchers and students of asylum and immigration law, international politics, and gender studies.
Book Synopsis Carceral Humanitarianism by : Kelly Oliver
Download or read book Carceral Humanitarianism written by Kelly Oliver and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coopted by military operations, humanitarianism has never been neutral. Rather than welcoming refugees, host countries assess the relative risks of taking them in versus turning them away, using a risk-benefit analysis that often reduces refugees to collateral damage in proxy wars fought in the war on terrorism. Carceral Humanitarianism testifies that humanitarian aid and human rights discourse are always political and partisan. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Book Synopsis Fleeing Homophobia by : Thomas Spijkerboer
Download or read book Fleeing Homophobia written by Thomas Spijkerboer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) asylum seekers apply for asylum in EU Member States.This book considers the position of LGBTI asylum seekers in European asylum law. Developing an encompassing approach to the topic, the book identifies and analyzes the main legal issues arising in relation to LGBTI people seeking asylum including: the underestimation of the relevance of criminalization of sexual orientation as well as the large scale violence against trans people in countries of origin by some European states; the requirement to seek State protection against violence even when they originate from countries where sexual orientation or gender identity is criminalized, or where the authorities are homophobic; the particular hurdles faced during credibility assessment on account of persisting stereotypes; and queer families and refugee law. The book gives a state of the art overview of law in Europe, both at the level of European legislation and at the level of Member State practice. While being largely focused on Europe, the book also takes into account asylum decisions from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States and is of relevance internationally, offering analysis of issues which are not specific to particular legal systems.
