Book excerpt: Domestic and family violence (DFV) is an enduring social and public health issue of endemic proportions and global scale, with multiple and lasting consequences for those directly affected. This book tackles current debates in the field and addresses the social norms and settings that perpetuate this type of violence, along with implications for service delivery. The book offers a thorough introduction into the nature and extent of DFV in contemporary social contexts and serves as a foundation for informed practice. It provides a firm theoretical and empirical overview of core issues, covering the challenges and support needs experienced by those affected, along with the implications this raises for the range of relevant response services. The authors also offer insight into the predominantly gendered nature of DFV and its influence beyond the traditional couple context, across age, gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, and family relationships. Drawing on theoretical explanations, international research, and practice experience, they highlight examples of good practice and holistic responses, including primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, and social work engaged in studies of domestic and family violence, violence against women, and intimate partner violence. It will be an invaluable resource for those designing, coordinating, and conducting service responses.

Book Synopsis Change Begins with Me. Research Question by : Geraldine M. Major
Download or read book Change Begins with Me. Research Question written by Geraldine M. Major and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the reasons African-American women leave or stay in abusive relationships and the commonalities that direct their decisions. Although studies have been conducted on Black family violence, limited previous studies focused solely on African-American women and domestic abuse or violence in conjugal relationships. the study was designed to document and reflect on the stories of seven African American women who experienced abuse or violence in their intimate relationships; it is just a sampling of the many women who have left or stayed in an abusive relationship. Semi-structured taped interviews, using open ended questions, beginning with a pilot interview, were conducted to ensure that the data elicited from the interviews would be appropriate for the study. the women who participated in this study ranged in age from 31 to 55 years; Six of the seven women who participated in the study have left their abusive partners. the women described the types of abuse and violence they experienced in their relationships and recounted how their decision to leave or stay in the abusive relationship was formed. Applicable responses were analyzed for common threads; and, coupled with an analysis of the myths and stereotypes that are associated with African-American women, culminated in the results. the conclusions identified accepting behaviors which emulate the behaviors of female adult role models and a lack of self-sufficiency. the music intrinsic to this population was also identified as an influencing factor. There is still much work to be done. Educating and empowering African-American women will enhance their self-esteem and awareness and their perception of what constitutes an abusive behavior. This grounding will begin the process of eradicating their dependency on an abusive partner.
Book Synopsis Leaving a Violent Relationship by : Adele Jones
Download or read book Leaving a Violent Relationship written by Adele Jones and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV), defined as physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse and controlling behaviors inflicted within intimate partner relationships, is a global crisis that extends beyond national and sociocultural boundaries, affecting people of all ages, religions, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds. Though studies exist that seek to explain how people become trapped within violent relationships and what factors facilitate survival, escape and safety, this book provides fresh insights into this complex and multifaceted issue. People often ask of women in abusive relationships “why does she stay?” Critics suggest that this question carries implicit notions of victim blame and fails to hold to account the perpetrators of abuse. The studies described in this book, however, explore the question from the perspectives of survivors and represent a shift away from individual pathology to an approach based on the recognition of structural oppression, agency and resilience. Comprising eight chapters, new theoretical frameworks for the analysis of IPV are provided to guide practitioners and policy makers in improving services for vulnerable people in abusive relationships, and a range of studies into the experiences of a diverse range of survivors, including mothers in Portugal, women who experienced child marriage in Uganda, and refugees in the United States of America, generate findings which elucidate perspectives from marginalised and under-researched groups.
Book Synopsis Black and White Bible, Black and Blue Wife by : Ruth A. Tucker
Download or read book Black and White Bible, Black and Blue Wife written by Ruth A. Tucker and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth Tucker recounts a harrowing story of abuse at the hands of her husband—a well-educated, charming preacher no less—in hope that her story would help other women caught in a cycle of domestic violence and offer a balanced biblical approach to counter such abuse for pastors and counselors. Weaving together her shocking story, stories of other women, and powerful stories of husbands who truly have demonstrated Christ’s love to their wives, with reflection on biblical, theological, historical, and contemporary issues surrounding domestic violence, she makes a compelling case for mutuality in marriage and helps women and men become more aware of potential dangers in a doctrine of male headship.
Book Synopsis Alcohol's Effect on Battered Women's Help-seeking Decisions by : Rachel Aylor
Download or read book Alcohol's Effect on Battered Women's Help-seeking Decisions written by Rachel Aylor and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Most empirical research on domestic violence has generally focused on the abuser and have failed to examine the fundamental needs of the abused woman. Several factors have been found to be associated with domestic violence. These factors include alcohol use, intensity of abuse, frequency of abuse, and women's help-seeking behaviors. Unfortunately, little research has been focused on the effects that alcohol has on the battered woman in the domestic violence relationship. Currently, no research has been conducted on alcohol's effect on the battered woman's help-seeking decisions. The failure to examine this relationship and the impact that it has on the battered woman may lead to serious problems for the abused woman. In most instances, it results in the prolongation of the abusive relationship due to a lack of viable alternatives. Analysis was conducted using data from the "Physical Violence in American Families" study conducted by Richard J. Gelles and Murray A. Straus. The analysis examined the effects that alcohol use, intensity of abuse, frequency of abuse and demographic characteristics have on a battered woman's help-seeking behaviors. The analysis found that there was not a significant relationship between a woman's alcohol use and her help-seeking behaviors. Also no relationship existed between a man's use of alcohol and a woman's use of alcohol. However, the analysis did find that the women's income was the strongest factor that influenced the woman's help-seeking behavior. It was also found that intensity of abuse and the woman's age impacted her decision to seek help but that these relationships were extremely weak. These findings suggest that financial resources need to be available to the battered women in order help them remain free from their abusers.

Book Synopsis Safety Planning with Battered Women by : Jill M. Davies
Download or read book Safety Planning with Battered Women written by Jill M. Davies and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety Planning with Battered Women introduces a new model of ôwoman-definedö advocacy that is designed to bridge the gap that sometimes occurs between a battered womanÆs perspective and a victim advocateÆs perception. Created to improve service delivery to women who are victims of domestic violence, this new model emphasizes placing attention on the victimÆs assessment of the risk in a violent relationship and in her decision making. Authors Jill Davies, Eleanor Lyon, and Diane Monti-Catania strive to help advocates better understand battered womenÆs decisions, including the decision to remain in an abusive relationship; to improve advocacy for victims with varying cultural backgrounds and experiences; and to provide advocates with assistance in redesigning their services, so they may better meet the needs of battered women. Since there are no quick fixes to the problems encountered in cases of domestic violence, it is vital that victims be provided with a real understanding of their options and the opportunity to implement those safety plans they deem most feasible. Safety Planning with Battered Women helps advocates tailor alternatives that will enhance the safety of battered women based on the individual realities of battered women. This book is both enlightening and highly practical and is a must read for anyone working with domestic violence victims. By introducing a woman-defined model and offering a new approach to advocacy, Safety Planning with Battered Women will compel readers to reexamine current approaches and examine the future provision of services to domestic violence victims, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, academics, professionals, and practitioners.
