Sadaf, Lubaba. "Marital violence against Pakistani women in Scotland." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2012. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4965/.
Full textAbstract:
The problem of male violence against women in intimate relationships has been addressed by the feminist literature over past four decades, but little work exists on the experiences of Pakistani women. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Pakistani women in Scotland who have suffered marital violence. It was based upon feminist perspective and employed qualitative methodology. Interviews with eighteen Pakistani women were carried out. The findings from this study extend an understanding of marital violence in the context of extended family where the perpetrator of violence against a wife is not just a husband but the mother-in-law also. Thus it complicates the understanding of family as site of violence that is not dyadic in nature. The findings also reveal that women can be both victims and perpetrators in their life time when seen through their position in life cycle based hierarchies in their marital homes.

Ulu, Sinan. "Attitudes Toward Marital Violence: Individual And Situational Factors." Master's thesis, METU, 2003. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12604933/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed at investigating the relationship
between factors that are inherent in the perceiver, inherent in the
situationattitudes toward marital violence, attributions of blame in a violent incident, and judgments on what the victim should do after a violent incident. Attitudes are assessed via three beliefs that the violence can be justified, the husband is not responsible from the violence, and the blame of the violence can be attributed to the wife. Factors inherent in the perceiver (named individual factors), which are thought to be important, were defined as patriarchal and traditional beliefs about marriage and the family, hostile and benevolent sexism, beliefs about normative approval of violence, and gender. Factors inherent in the situation (named situational factors) were existence of (perceived) provocation in a violent incident, severity of the violence, and employment status of the wife and the husband. 327 METU students (176 female, 151 male) had filled out a questionnaire, in which a violent episode between a husband and a wife was described. The scenario contained manipulations on the situational factors. Other constructs were assessed via Likert type scales. Analyses revealed that the sample had held negative views of marital violence, but tend to disagree with immediate precautions like calling the police after a violent episode. Both situational and societal factors had differential effects on the dependent measures, patriarchy and hostile sexism was found to be especially related with the beliefs about wife beating whereas severity and provocation was strongly related with the attributions of blame. Existence of children had decreased the agreement with reactions that would end up the marriage. Suggestions for future research, and limitations of the study are discussed in addition to the findings.

Full textAbstract:
This investigation addressed the question "What are the characteristics of the relationship between power, interference, frustration and aggression within the context of a conjugal conflict?" This investigation used a mathematical correlational descriptive design with magnitude estimation measures to evaluate the relationships between power, interference, frustration and aggression. The measures were administered to 39 women drawn from state funded social service agencies. Thirty-three (n = 13) percent of the total sample were retested to determine the stability of the measures. The reliability of the magnitude estimation measures ranged from.90 to.98 for test retest stability and.83 to.92 for the internal consistency or theta coefficients. Regression analysis of the data indicated that power had the strongest relationship to aggression (R² =.89). Neither interference nor frustration had any relationship to the concept of aggression. Empirical modeling revealed that parental aggression, through power, increased the strength of the relationship between power and aggression (R² =.96). The model also revealed that interference had the sole relationship with the concept of frustration (R² =.83).

Full textAbstract:
Limited research has examined desistance from intimate partner violence (IPV). In this thesis the aims are to explore the role that individual, social/environmental factors and subjective change (personal agency) play in the process of desistance from male perpetrated IPV, and to develop and examine a multifactorial theory of desistance from male perpetrated IPV. As research about desistance has tended to more prominent in the criminological literature and in relation to general offending and delinquency, the aim of the first part of this thesis was to undertake two critical reviews on desistance from violence and desistance from IPV. It was found that research in these areas has been neglected. It was concluded that a psychological approach to desistance is required whereby the findings are integrated into the models developed in the criminological literature, in order to develop a multifactorial theory of desistance. Specifically, it was found that pertinent to IPV, severity and frequency of violence was related to desistance and typology research indicated that personality characteristics might distinguish desisters from persisters. The nature of the dyad within which the IPV takes place was also found to be relevant specifically to the study of desistance from IPV and therefore, in need of further examination. In the empirical study, group comparisons on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III subscales were conducted between a purposive sample of 37 desisters, 50 persisters and 49 controls. It was found that Cluster A and Cluster B disorders and disorders at a diagnostic level were more often reported in the groups that had used violence against an intimate compared to the control group. The rates and percentages of clinically meaningful traits and disorders were lower for the desisters than the persisters. Overall the desisters were more like the controls than the persisters across the personality traits and clinical syndromes measured. In the qualitative study, thematic analysis was conducted on data derived from interviews with 13 desisters, nine persisters, nine treatment facilitators and seven survivors. A conceptual model of desistance was developed that demonstrated desistance from IPV is a dynamic process that gradually unfolds over time. The model comprised three global themes: (i) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (violent): ‘Old way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they used violence); (ii) Catalysts for change (the triggers and transitions experienced that initiated change); and (iii) The cycle of lifestyle behaviours (non-violent); ‘New way of being’ (the experiences, behaviours and thinking of the men when they stopped using violence). The integrated findings illustrate that the path from persistence to desistance is neither linear, nor shared by all IPV offenders. A complex interaction between structure and agency characterised the process. Future research needs to adopt a longitudinal design to gain a clearer understanding of the temporal sequencing of events leading to desistance, and also to determine whether the characteristics that differentiated the groups studied change over time. In addition, it is proposed that individual assessment is required for each offender of IPV. Treatment could then be developed to meet individual needs, which may increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation for IPV perpetrators.

Full textAbstract:
This study addressed substantial limitations in the literature pertaining to intimate partner violence (IPV). In particular, I addressed the gender symmetry debate, and identified factors associated with the dynamics of violent relationships by examining the correlates related to perpetrating and suffering IPV for both men and women. Finally, I examined attitudes towards IPV, communication behaviour, and conflict management techniques as a function of abuse history. Participants were recruited from three samples of the New Zealand population (student, general, and incarcerated). The inclusion of an incarcerated sample enabled the examination of more severe, frequent and injurious violence than is typically experienced within the student and general samples.
There were three phases to the study. The first phase explored incidence rates and psychological correlates of IPV. As expected, the incidence of IPV was highest within the incarcerated sample (Chapter 5). Of greater significance, the incidence of IPV was similar for males and females, with the majority of violence being bi-directional (Chapters 4 & 5). Moreover, the psychological correlates associated with IPV were similar for perpetrators and victims, and males and females (Chapters 4 & 5).
Due to the bi-directional nature of IPV, analyses presented in Chapters 4 and 5 were limited by the categorisation of participants as both perpetrators and victims. In Chapter 6, I overcame this limitation. The attitudes of victims were examined separately to individuals experiencing bi-directional violence. Validating the findings of Chapters 4 and 5, the attitudes and behaviours of victims and perpetrators were similar. These included being more hostile and negative towards others and ones� partner, being more controlling, and reporting more communication problems. I also further explored gender symmetry in IPV. Male and female IPV was found to be similar in frequency, severity, and similarly associated with control. However, the type of acts perpetrated differed across gender.
During the second and third phase of the study, I further examined participants� communication behaviour (Chapter 7), conflict behaviour, and attitudes (Chapter 8). Findings revealed that perpetrators and victims employed less facilitative and polite linguistic devices (Chapter 7) and reported fewer skills for dealing with conflict (Chapter 8) than did other individuals. An examination of attitudes towards IPV revealed males and females had similar attitudes and were more condoning of female, than male-perpetrated IPV. Moreover, individuals with a history of IPV were the most condoning of violence. Additionally, a number of correlates associated with experiencing IPV were also associated with attitudes condoning IPV (Chapter 8).
Overall, the findings revealed IPV to be bi-directional and gender symmetrical. Male and female IPV was similar in incidence, severity, and injury. Furthermore, the psychological correlates associated with IPV were similar for men and women, and perpetrators and victims. Individuals with a history of IPV were more controlling, hostile towards others, more condoning of IPV, employed less positive communication styles, and lacked skills for dealing with conflict. In light of these findings, suggestions are offered for violence prevention initiatives in the discussion sections of each chapter and in the final chapter (Chapter 9).

Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary study re-examines contemporary understandings of the role p.layed by dowry in situations of marital breakdown and conjugal violence in India. It challenges the assumption that dowry lies at the centre of alleged cases of cruelty and unnatural deaths of married women. In addition to the rich and insightful data gleaned from extensive in-depth interviews of both complainants and - unlike' in previous studies defendants in 'dowry-related' cruelty and death cases in Bangalore, Mumbai and New Delhi, a large number of experts were consulted from a diversity of disciplines. It is shown that today's metropolitan city marriages are multidimensional relationships that must be negotiated by both spouses and their kin. Issues such as values, expectations, roles, power, loyalty and financial arrangements all have to be worked out within the contexts of a contested sphere where many actors can have inputs and influence. Where this complicated path is navigated unsuccessfully and breakdown results, sometimes manifesting itself in violent and even deadly ways, the dispute too often enters the public realm as a 'dowry problem'. This seems to be in part due to the fact that in today's cultural climate, this is considered less humiliating than disclosing what may actually be more about emotional or even sexual problems; and partly because Indian law has been framed in such a way as to suggest that only the pro-women anti-dowry laws can lead to some kind of remedy. In sum, the thesis suggests that lawmakers' imprisonment by positivistic assumplions, leading to an approach that has focussed too much on regulating culture, has demonstrated their failure to understand how to use law in dayto- day life. It ends by attempting to address this failure,. considering means to reform the statute law but also, more importantly, suggesting workable remedies beyond the law.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the large number of children and siblings who are exposed to domestic violence, relatively few studies have examined sibling influences on the psychosocial effects of exposure to domestic violence. The aim of this study was to explore the opinions of experienced child and family clinicians on whether, and how, the presence of siblings moderates children’s experiences of domestic violence and any subsequent effects on their development and wellbeing. This study employed an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to analyse interviews with five clinicians. Analysis of the interviews revealed six superordinate themes; one sibling taking on a protective and parental role; polarisation of sibling relationships; factors influencing sibling relationships; the impact on the sibling taking on a parenting or protective role; impact on the sibling being protected; and the importance of individual family context. Overall, the findings from the interviews with the clinicians suggest that in families where children are exposed to domestic violence one child tends to take on a parental role and also attempts to protect their siblings from the violence. These results also emphasise the importance of formulation in understanding the influence of sibling relationships on the psychosocial effects of domestic violence, as there are many different factors which need to be considered. Some implications for clinical practice are discussed and potential future research directions are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a prevalent public health problem that brings many adverse outcomes to individuals and societies. Understanding, preventing, and reducing IPV is important to minimize the consequences. Instead of studying IPV as a single phenomenon, Johnson’s typology of domestic violence suggests that there are four types of IPV which have differential effects on survivors’ health. Violence and coercive control used by individuals in the relationship are the key components to categorizing the types of IPV. Hence before applying this categorization to the Chinese context, it is first essential to examine the coercive control.
Aims: This study aimed (a) to examine pattern of coercive control in Chinese intimate relationships, (b) to establish a cut-off score on the Chinese version of the Revised Controlling Behaviors Scale (C-CBS-R) to differentiate the use of coercive control, and (c) to identify Intimate Terrorism (IT) and Situational Couple Violence (SCV) in Johnson’s typology and their impact on the mental health of women survivors.
Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed-methods design study was conducted. Chinese women aged 18 or above who reported being physically abused by an intimate partner in the past 12 months were recruited from shelter and community settings. The study consisted of three parts: (a) semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews to examine the coercive control used in Chinese intimate relationships, (b) qualitative and quantitative data to establish a cut-off score on C-CBS-R, and (c) a survey using a researcher-administered questionnaire to categorize types of IPV and examine their mental health effects. A set of questionnaires was used to elicit participants’ experiences of IPV, frequency of physical violence used, controlling behaviors, depressive symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and demographic characteristics.
Results: In Part 1 of the study, a pattern of coercive control was identified in the abusive intimate relationships from the interviews of 20 physically abused women. Then a cut-off score of C-CBS-R was identified as greater than 1.145 to differentiate control with and without a pattern in Part 2 of the study. Finally, a total of 334 physically abused women were recruited with 133 (40%) being identified as IT survivors while 137 (41%) were SCV survivors. IT women survivors were found to experience a significantly higher frequency of physical violence, physical injuries, and use of medical services than SCV survivors. The age difference between the woman and her partner, expressed fear of her partner, experience of financial hardship, and sexual coercion by an intimate partner in the previous year were significantly associated with the occurrence of IT. Using linear regression model analysis, IT women survivors were found to report more severe depressive and PTSD symptoms than SCV survivors with and without confounding by other factors.
Conclusion: This study developed a cut-off score on C-CBS-R to differentiate the use of control and identified IT and SCV based on the use of control and violence by individuals according to Johnson’s typology. IT women survivors were found to experience more severe mental health impacts than SCV survivors, showing the differential effect on women survivors’ health.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This research project is based on face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 35 female respondents and written responses to a questionnaire from 29 male respondents. The research was primarily designed to increase understanding of the experience of women within marital relationships and the ways in which domestic abuse shapes that experience in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah region. The thesis also explores the views of men in relation to the same issues, but the main focus of the research is on the experience of women in the context of these relationships. Marital relations in Saudi Arabia are being influenced by a range of changing factors. The thesis explores the changing culture of the country describing the history of Saudi Arabia, the current social climate and the religious and legal perspectives which form the context within which marital relationships are entered into, carried on and ended. The role of voluntary and government organizations in providing support for women who are victims of difficult marital relations and domestic abuse is described and recommendations are offered for improved support drawing on the findings of the research.

Full textAbstract:
Les faits de violences conjugales constituent un phénomène social d’importance. Les auteurs de ces faits ne sont la plupart du temps, ni des monstres, ni des pervers, ni même des malades mentaux. Nous avons constaté que trois sortes de facteurs sont déterminants dans la population étudiée, celle de 400 personnes mises en cause pour faits de violences conjugales. Ces trois catégories de facteurs étaient les suivants : sociaux et culturels, les attentes et les attitudes de chaque partenaire au sein du couple et enfin les facteurs intrapsychiques. Pour les facteurs sociaux et culturels, nous avons mis en évidence la notion de déprivation psychosociale. Quant aux attitudes du conjoint au sein du couple, elles s’articulent autour d’une double tendance indépendance-dépendance. Pour les conjointes, nous avons mis en évidence des attitudes de maternalité. Enfin, l’ensemble des processus psychiques des auteurs de violences conjugales rencontrés, s’ordonnent dans une polarité narcissique-identitaire. Face aux violences conjugales, la société met en œuvre un processus judiciaire obéissant à un arsenal juridique de plus en plus nourri. Depuis les années quatre-vingt-dix, sont nés des dispositifs de prise en compte de ces auteurs. Le dispositif VIRAGE, né en 2002 à Saint-Etienne (Loire) par la volonté de deux structures, une associative et l’autre hospitalière, est un de ceux-là. Quels sont les effets et limites des groupes mis en place par ce dispositif ? Si les effets de tels groupes sur la récidive ne sont pas probants, par contre ils s’avèrent pertinents sur l’expression, les représentations, la reconnaissance des faits, la compréhension de la sanction, le renouage des liens notamment avec les enfants, l’ouverture à d’autres modes de communication.Les limites sont celles d’un dispositif ayant pour intention des changements. Ce dispositif que nous avons qualifié d’encadrement social, selon un modèle psycho-éducatif, ne doit pas être assimilé à un processus judiciaire car il changerait fondamentalement de positionnement. Nous proposons à la fin de la thèse un programme de prévention tenant compte de ces acquisMarital violence is one really important social phenomenon. The perpetrators in these facts are most of the time, neither monsters, nor perverts, nor mental patients. We had concluded that three kinds of factor are determinative for the study population, which consists of 400 persons accused for marital violence. These three categories of factors were following: social and cultural expectations and attitudes of each partner and finally intrapsychic factors. For the social and cultural factors we have highlighted the concept of psychosocial deprivation. Regarding the attitudes of the spouse, they revolve around double tendency of independence-dependence. For the spouses, we have highlighted attitudes of “maternalité”. Finally, all psychic processes in the perpetrators of the marital violence, which we had met, are organized in a polarity narcissistic identity. The society faced with marital violence implements a judicial system which follows and give more and more resources to this legal arsenal. In the nineties, the programmes were born considering the perpetrators of the marital violence. The programme VIRAGE is among them, founded 2002 in Saint-Etienne (Loire), because of wish of two structures, one association and one hospital. What are the effects and the limits of the groups? The effects of such groups on the recidivism aren’t convincing, but it turns out that they are relevant for the expression, for the representations, for the reconnaissance of the facts, for the understanding of sanction, for the renewal of the relations with children, for the openness to the other modes of communication. Those limits are a programme with the intention of changing. This programme we have described as social support, according to a psycho-educational model, should not be comparable to a judicial system as it will change fundamentally positioning. We propose one program for prevention at the end of the thesis

This paper presents a survey of 422 college students at Virginia Polytechnic & State University on courtship violence. Those who experienced courtship violence were not different from those who had not experienced courtship violence in a list of background and experiential variables. Thirty-nine percent of the respondents were found to have experienced some form of abuse in their dating relationships in the past year. Twenty-nine percent of the respondents claimed they had experienced both abuse and violence in their dating relationships in the past year, and 1.7% of the respondents experienced the most extreme form of violence.
Thirty-two percent of those who had experienced courtship violence would seek outside help when experiencing violence in their dating relationships. These individuals were those who got used to bringing somebody in to help settle conflicts, who felt humiliated after the violence, and who took no immediate action to reconcile after violence.
Among those who did experience some form of courtship violence, 76.8% planned to continue the relationship. If courtship violence occurred in private and remained unnoticed to those individuals who love their partners more, who invest a lot in the relationships, who have higher commitment, who have more conflicts in their relationships, and who take initiative to reconcile the relationships after the violent episodes, the individual involved would be more likely to continue the relationship, despite the presence of violence.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines disputing and dispute resolution primarily among married couples in the small city of Saint-Louis, in the northwest comer of Senegal, West Africa. The goal of this project is two-fold: first, to locate "couples disputing" in the context of the culture and systems of power in urban Senegal; second, to analyze how this context is reproduced and contested through disputing and participation in legal (state) and informal (non-state) dispute resolution processes. At another level, this project focuses on determining how and to what degree the law enables and empowers women to resist domestic violence, and, alternatively, allows it to persist. The place of domestic violence is examined through the lens of local culture and ideology, as well as legal and conflict-oriented behavior. Central to this project is the observation of a dynamic interaction between the daily lived reality of couples and intermediate and higher-level institutional frameworks. In other words, love, cooperation, arguing, disdain, beating, rape, separation, divorce, and reconciliation occur inseparably from the authority structures of family and community, selective coercion and empowerment by state and civil bodies, and the distant impositions of international entities. An ethnographic portrait of marital disputing and domestic violence is created using court observations and recorded speech, structured and unstructured interviews, documentary research on court records, and extended participant observation in the community.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among several demographic and emotional/relational variables, and physical abuse victimization in conjugal relations. Participants were eighty-two individuals, involving 41 heterosexual couples in permanent relationships, who were being seen in marital therapy for discordant relationships. This was a cross-sectional sample, with participants selected from four community-based couple and family therapy treatment facilities. Couple participants completed a questionnaire package which measured their standing on a number of socio-demographic (age, income, duration of marriage, employment, education), emotional/relationship (attachment, differentiation, self esteem, marital satisfaction, global distress, problem solving communication), and violence (aggression, physical and non-physical abuse) variables. The emotional variables selected for this study drew on principles from both attachment and Bowen family systems theory. The design of this study differentiated victims of physical violence from non-victims of violence and included multiple measures of abuse.The findings revealed significant gender correlations in terms of level of aggression in relationships. For females, level of global distress and problem solving communication were positively associated with higher levels of marital aggression. An association between poor differentiation and marital aggression was identified for females, while self esteem only approached significance. For males, a significant correlation was identified between level of aggression and the dismissing attachment style. For males the anxious attachment style was negatively correlated with being a victim of physical violence, with self-differentiation and with having a dismissive attachment style.
The central findings were identified through the use of logistic regression analysis. Attachment style was found to be the more powerful predictor for both females and males in predicting victimization of physical violence. Separate gender analysis revealed evidence that women's anxious attachment style is a significant predictor of physical violence victimization. For males, the dismissing style was less powerful a predictor of male victimization, however the combined female-anxious, male-dismissing attachment combination was found to be highly predictive of relationship violence. Logistic regression has provided evidence for the combination of female-anxious and male-dismissing attachment pattern with poor problem solving and communication skill, within the context of a longer relationship, as significant predictors of relationship violence for the whole sample. These three variables, anxious-dismissing attachment style, poor problem solving communication and longer duration of marriage taken together have provided a predictor model or couple profile for conjugal violence in a sample of discordant couples.
Results of the final couple analysis have contributed to an emerging hypothesis, with the identification of a particular "toxic" gender defined couple attachment pattern, that can predispose a couple for relationship violence. Results have identified that anxious females coupled with dismissing males significantly increased the odds of relationship violence. Research findings were discussed in terms of clinical applications and implications for theory and future research.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to examine the relationships of multiple types of domestic victimization (i.e., physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence) to women&rsquos marital adjustment and psychological well-being, together with their socio-demographic characteristics and attachment, marital coping, and social support aspects. Altogether 524 married women provided data on domestic violence (Revised Conflict Tactics Scale), economic violence (Economic Violence Index), attachment (couples version of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised), marital coping (Marital Coping Inventory), social support (Social Support Index), dyadic adjustment (Dyadic Adjustment Scale), psychological well-being (Brief Symptom Inventory), as well as demographic information. Results appeared to indicate a general tendency that women who have arranged marriages, more children, low education, low educated husbands, no or low income, and/or women who have more income compared to their husbands report higher levels of multiple types of domestic violence. Furthermore, the findings indicated that multiple types of domestic violence account for significant variances in marital adjustment and psychological well-being of married women, even after controlling for their attachment dimensions, marital coping strategies, and social support from different support groups. The findings were discussed in accordance with the relevant literature, and their implications for clinical practices and future studies were suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The period 1914-1939 ushered in a variety of social, cultural, economic and political changes, and it is possible to see the influences of these within the intimate relationships of the family. To date the historiography of the family in interwar Britain has largely neglected the issue of violence against wives, and so this thesis aims to contribute to this discourse. It will consider the cultures and social structures that both enabled and challenged husbands’ intimate violence in the shadow of the First World War. This thesis will survey the everyday experiences of people within abusive relationships, and explore the understandings of and responses to this issue among the judiciary and magistracy, news media, medical professions, and those groups who sought to reform marriage. Exploring the liminality of violence within the home, this study will show how contemporary evaluations of marital violence were influenced by the common prioritization of marriage and patriarchal authority above the safety of wives and the criminalization of husbands. It will go on to argue that, even as increasing numbers of couples separated and divorced, the legacy of war exacerbated many of the issues that enabled husbands’ violence against wives. It bolstered the link between social stability and traditional gender roles, encouraged the conditions within relationships that contributed to the expression of domestic abuse, and fostered a disinclination to question the morality of violent veteran husbands. It will conclude that without the discursive capacity nor widespread inclination to challenge the social and cultural circumstances that enabled violence against wives, wife battery remained an insufficiently problematized issue throughout the period examined.

In the Kinmen County, a society with strong character of patriarchate, the families and their structure still remain traditional. This study focuses on causes of martial violence and responses of victims. This study also explores into the influences of traditional family structure on marital violence. Through interviews with martial violence victims, and with related personnel such as judicial personnel, policeperson, doctor and social workers, this study investigates into the violent situations, victim’s responses, recognitions and reasons. With all these data, the study will put us in the picture of family violence and will be an applicable reference material for violence prevention personnel. In this qualitative research, we purposively sampled and depth interviewed with six female victims of martial violence, and then with ten members of focus group which includes judges, social workers, policepersons etc. The study finds out the causes for martial violence in Kinmen can be classified into four categories, include: (1)Family Type—the family factor is the primary cause for violence; (2)Family Personal Type—beside family factor, the inflictor plays the most important role for violence; (3)Family Social Tpye—beside family problems, the social factor in external circumstance reinforces the martial violence; (4) Synthetic Type—the martial violence caused by personal, family and social factors. According to findings of this study, the response patterns for martial violence in Kinmen County can be classified into two type: psychological and behavioral. The psychological patterns includes: 1. rationalizing inflictor’s behavior; 2. still holding hopes; 3. self-blaming. The behavioral patterns includes: 1. escape from violence circumstance; 2. verbally fighting back or trying to stop; 3. seek for external help. In the happen

Domestic violence is historically a common problem. According to past statistics, the majority of the victims of domestic violence are women. Many studies have shown that women who have suffered prolonged domestic violence are prone to multiple physical and psychological traumas. If there are children in the families, children who witness domestic violence tend to be violent as well. Domestic abuse then leads to cycles of violence. To locate high-risk families where marital violence is likely to happen, and to ensure that women and children can live free from fear, this study draws from Women’s Living Condition Survey in 2015 conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and uses logit regression model to identify possible impacts on personalities of the abused women, family conditions, environmental factors in the probabilities and types of violence, frequency of abuse, and then explores the expectations of the battered women toward government policies. The empirical results show that new residents, mothers whose children are under 6 years old, families which receive social welfare benefits, and wives who work and whose husbands are jobless, have significant positive correlations with the probability and frequency of marital violence, while age and education have negative protective effects. Among the types of marital violence, there are significant differences between the self-variables, indicating that different reasons lie behind different types of domestic abuse. For women who work while their husbands are unemployed, that the government could strengthen the measures for promoting gender equality is of utmost importance.

In order to clarify how male perpetrators’ affections of marital violence toward their wives influence their marital violence in the affection development, this study explores the characteristics of marital affection among Taiwanese male perpetrators in the process of marital violence. The researcher followed constructivism and adopted narrative inquiry to collect and analyze data. The researcher invited two Taiwanese male perpetrators as interviewees who still preserved their marriage and conducted semi-structured individual interviews for 4 times respectively.The results of this study, including two interviewees' life stories and cross-case analysis, were analyzed by holistic-content rule. The findings of this study contain two parts. (1) Ideal marital affection: Interviewee constructs unique ideal marital affection in their life experiences, "Conjugal concentricity " and " Reciprocity ". The "Conjugal concentricity" corresponds to Chinese traditional marriage concepts, provided with cultural meaning. (2)The development of marital affection: Lived with identification of ideal marital affection, two interviewees have developed different characteristics of marital affection in the stages of their marriage. Generally, they experienced different life styles with their wives. Their wives had not met their "ideal" entirely in this stage. Thus, the two interviewees had felt dissatisfied and belittled. Both marital enqing and intimacy had gradually faded. Both couples had disputed more frequently and their relationships had turned intense. In one occasion, their wives didn't obey their "ideal" again, so they felt frustrated and harmed their wives at the same time. After the violent conflicts, two interviewees made peace with their wives considering the success of family. However, they still take their wives' devoting for granted. Through the dialogues with literatures and researcher reflection, the researcher found out that the core of the interviewees' "ideal" insistence is the desire to reach family success. However, the interviewees valued their "ideal" too much that they neglected their own affection and conjugal relationship management. It made their conjugal relationship uncoordinated, and led to violent conflicts indirectly. Marital violence occurrence was explained by affective perspective in this study. The researcher found that the issue of affection lost in men is a key precursor in marital violence occurrence. Based on these findings, the researcher proposes some advices to coming researches and practices in Chinese male perpetrators of marital violence.

The research aims to investigate marital violence through a qualitative interview with nine women suffering from their heterosexual spouses. From the interviews, the researcher gains a closer look at their subjective experience. Through semi-structured interviews, the participants narrate their own life stories about their views of from being unmarried, married, violence in marriage, and to leaving a marriage. Through their narration, we may understand the important interconnections among these periods, and the impact of which on their views and expectations of “home”. The second purpose of this research is to explore the social support system intervention process and its underlying process of the necessary supports these suffering women need when they try to establish a secure life. The research shows that women suffering from marital violence share a commonality in their expectation of “homes”. Their birth parents of these women were unable to provide the need of love and a sense of protection. Because of this insufficiency, women enter a marriage in order to get away from their birth homes, and the marital homes or the husband's families are viewed as a compensation of love for their birth homes. When they encounter marital violence and their expectations disenchant, these women leave their marriages and then ask for external assistance in order to build a warm, safe, and loving home for themselves and their children, and to practice self-expectations and views of the homes based on their own strength. The process of building a place to live, however, is full of challenges, such as residential, economic and emotional supports. Therefore, it is necessary for these women to rely on own abilities to cope with life challenges! The supports Government provided focus mainly on the emergency stage of the crisis for battered women in the marriage service. On the other hand, the counties’ Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Center is to build co-ordinate position in the overall work of violence prevention network. Because of the rigid specialization design, the suffering women’s roles are to be sacrificed in women's reconstruction of the secure home. This further leads that the battered women under the lack of support systems may fall back into the battered marriage family crisis. This research suggests that the services for marital violence women should start from the consideration of a secure life establishment. These considerations should include policy legislation, preventive network cooperation, social work practice, and education, which provides suitable service mode. Based on these foundations, implement what is needed for these battered women in the marriage. It is my sincere hope that the research will serve further understanding the specific needs of marital women, and provide useful evidence-based research findings to practitioners, policy-makers, and other stakeholders.

This study explored the empowering processes of women who experienced martial violence and the components of personal empowerment that enabled these three women to leave abusive relationships. Three abused women aged 31–55 years who experienced a sense of empowerment participated in this study. Data collected through in-depth interviews were analyzed by using the open-ended rules of the qualitative method. Based on the Zimmerman’s theory, the results and discussion of this study were presented as four parts. First, the histories of these women, including their life experiences and the empowering processes, were described. Second, the components of personal empowerment were as follows: (1) six intrapersonal components were motivation to control, perceived control, self-confidence, economic self-efficacy, perceived decrease in negative feelings, and perceived production of positive feelings; (2) four interactive components were awareness of problems, awareness of resources, development of skills, and reframing; and, (3) six behavioral components were taking a job, developing self competence, active anti-violence action, emotional or pressure management, and social network support, performing altruistic behaviors and, and increasing participation in the community or social activities. Third, the empowering processes of these women had the following four stages: initiation, preparation, action and outcome. These stages were inseparable and the components of empowerment in the empowering process were interrelated. Fourth, five essential aspects of the empowering processes were identified. These aspects, which interacted with each other, were coping with or resisting violence, relief or control of emotions or pressure, economic autonomy and control, interpersonal interaction and connectedness, and elevation of self-esteem. Finally, based on the results and discussion of this study, suggestions were proposed for women experiencing marital violence, professionals and future research.

Full textAbstract:
While concern about the plight of victims of
family violence was influential in selecting this area
for study, my concern extends to all situations where
differential treatment by the legal system either
directly or indirectly deprives a class or category of
victims of equal access to the law to their ultimate
detriment.
The thesis took, as a starting point, homicide and
serious assault: Those statistics which gave the sex and
relationship of victim and aggressor, concluded that
such violence was more likely to be perpetrated by an
acquaintance than a stranger, a nd that the aggressors
were overwhelmingly male.
Given that the law governing assault makes no
distinction based on marital status, (other than an
indecent assault charge in an instance of marital rape),
the hypothesis was that procedurally the entire legal
system operated in a manner that distinguished assaults
on the basis of whether such assaults occurred between
intimates or strangers.
In other words, one law would be implemented
differentially and consistently over time and in
relation to a certain class of victims so that a pattern
would emerge.
Rather than the whole spectrum of family violence,
the focus was on spouse-assault and the factors
prohibiting victims of spouse-assault from receiving the same protection that the law on assault theoretically
gives all citizens.This differential treatment, based
on marital status and the relationship of victim and aggressor, is viewed both as discriminatory and ultimately disadvantageous to the victim, their spouse, their children and to the wider society.
The domestic violence law reforms in other jurisdictions are analysed. The conclusion is that only distinct domestic violence law reforms, with more appropriate sanctions and efficacious enforcement procedures and support services, will begin to afford the domestic violence victim some measure of protection.
The problem of domestic violence is not seen simply in the context of a failure of the legal system to adequately respond to spouse assaults, but as a pervasive problem embedded in the values of the wider society. Social support services are often inert or operate in a manner antithetical to the victim's interests.
The thesis contains a number of recommendations intended to give some structure and indicate principles upon which any future Tasmanian domestic violence law reforms could be based. While the thesis was limited to spouse-assault, the law reforms proposed are gender neutral, they apply to all who suffer violence, harassment and abuse and who require the law's protection to restrain the offender.

Abstract As government permitted foreign spouse at 1980’s, more and more Taiwanese men married with foreigners, and it had affected traditional marriage market in Taiwan. According to Ministry of the Interior Statistics (2005), Southeast Asia foreign spouses are increased year by year, especially Vietnamese spouses. Interracial marriage has been promoted and became a phenomena in Taiwan. Family violence events are happened usually at Taiwanese society and most of them are marital violence. Among Southeast Asia foreign spouses’ marital violence events, Vietnamese are in the majority. (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Committee, Ministry of the Interior. 2004) Family is the first place of humans’ socialization. Parents’ behavior could affect children’s development in the future. These children, who experienced parents’ martial violence, will have a negative attitude and distrust of marriage when they grow up. They will cause marital violence events easily at their marital life in future. Individual attitude is composed of cognition, emotion and behavior. Regarding foreign spouses who married to Taiwanese men, their work, marital attitude and cognition will be the root cause of marital violence. Marital attitude will affect violent behavior of marriage, and cognition of marital violence is related to the problem of marital violence. Therefore, marital attitude and cognition of marital violence are related to each other. The main purpose of this study was focused on the relation ship between marital attitude and cognition of marital violence. The study is based on the systems theory (Family systems theory, Ecological systems theory), and Bandura’s social learning theory. The purposes of the study are (1) to understand the status of Vietnamese spouses’ personal background, family and society background, and marital attitude and cognition of marital violence, (2) to investigate the difference of Vietnamese spouses’ marital attitude via personal background, (3) to investigate the difference of Vietnamese spouses’ cognition of marital violence via personal background, (4) to examine the difference of Vietnamese spouses’ marital attitude based on family and society background, (5) to examine the variation of Vietnamese spouses’ relationship cognition of marital violence based on family and society background, and (6) to understand the relation between marital attitude and cognition of marital violence. The target population for this study was Vietnamese spouses in Tainan, Taiwan. According to Ministry of the Interior Statistics (2005) , there are 6000 Vietnamese spouses in Tainan. The sample was selected by purposive sampling and snowball sampling. 500 samples were expected in a quota proportion way and 400 questionnaires were collected with a return rate of 80% and a validity of 76%. The instruments included: “Personal Background Questionnaire”, “Cognition of Marital violence Scale”, “Marital Attitude Scale”. “Cognition of Marital Violence Scale” is revised from Chan Huey-tsy’s “Cognition of Marital Violence Scale” (2003), and “Marital Attitude Scale” is modified based on Lee Ruenn Hwa’s “Marital Attitude Scale” (1993). Data were analyzed by SPSS10.0 for Windows including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffe method, Pearson product-moment correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The results are as follows: 1.Vietnamese spouses’ marital attitude is traditional. 2.Vietnamese spouses’ cognition of marital violence is also traditional. 3.Vietnamese spouses’ marital attitude have obviously variation among age, years of marriage , level of education, relationship with family of orientation, experience of original family’s violence, experience of marital violence, and the opinion of marital violence at Vietnamese society. However, kinds of occupation, situation of employment, family composition, and parents’ marital violence experience are no variation obviously. 4.Vietnamese spouses’ cognition of marital violence have obviously variation among situation of employment, relationship with family of orientation, parents’ marital violence experience. However, age, years of marriage, level of education, kinds of occupation, family composition, experience of original family’s violence, experience of marital violence, and the opinion of marital violence in Vietnamese society are no variation obviously. 5.There was a significantly positive correlation between marital attitude and cognition of marital violence (r = .19. p<.01). 6.The following variables predicted Vietnamese spouses’ marital attitude for 21.2% of variance including having marital violence experience, age, the opinion of Vietnamese spouses about opposing marital violence in Vietnam society, level of education, living in northern Vietnam, and their occupation as a farmer. 7.Having part-time job, relationship with family of orientation, extended family, having marital violence, and having family violence experience in family of orientation predicted Vietnamese spouses’ cognition of marital violence but accounted for only 7.9% of variance. Finally, based on the findings of this study, some specific suggestions were provided for Vietnamese spouses and their spouses, people engaging in Vietnamese spouses’ education, government, public service institutions, the multitude, and future study.

In Taiwan, marital violence is a prevalent social problem with a long history. However, only until the law of family violence prevention (FVPL, 1998.6.24) passed did it receive emphasis and action from the public and the professional community. In the process of promoting the prevention of marital violence education in Taiwan, although the educational system is playing a major role in providing professional integrated services, many educators are somewhat confused about what specific measures to advocate. They are also confused about their own role when intervening in marital violent families. The lack of consensus doesn’t imply inability or loss of ability; not taking any definite action doesn’t mean indifference or emotionless. This study showed the process of how educators’ image of marriage is mediated during the treatment of marital violence from time to time. It also suggests that the educators’ images of marriage and marital violence need to be immediately clarified. The purposes of this study were to: (1) understand and analyze the image of marriage and of marital violence among educators; (2) explore educators’ experience, professional ability and needs in treating marital violence. The design of this study sought to achieve both qualitative and quantitative purposes, and is divided into two stages. The first stage is a sample survey, which randomly sampled 1,262 educators from kindergartens, elementary schools, and junior high schools. Of all the questionnaires sent out, 997 (80%) completed ones were collected and analyzed. The second stage consisted of survey interviews. 6 educators were purposefully selected and interviewed. After data analysis, the major findings of this study are as follows: 1.Legal intervention is intended to promote equality and free will in a marriage, but not to bind or terminate marriage. We should put more emphasis on the rights in marriage rather than regulations and responsibilities. 2.Marriage is not a necessity in life. But for those who have children should safeguard their children’s rights while pursuing their own personal well-being. 3.Educators should help couples grow together through education. Couples should keep their families harmonious and take on the social responsibilities of marriage. 4.Educators tend to take the do-not-meddle-with-others’-family-affair position when encountering marital violence. They think that the administrative interference from the school and the conservative style of the school are two limitations in treating marital violence. 5.Educators don’t have enough professional competencies. There is a great gap in the resource network between urban and rural areas. It is anticipated that instead of the present professional division, professional workers need to embrace cooperation. 6.The inappropriate images of marital violence can be changed through the planning in basic education and promoting community’s efforts. 7.Educators tend to define marital violence as "violence behavior is abuser who harmed others’ rights." 8.Educators tend to interpret marital violence with negative and sympathetic images, but they are not pessimistic when dealing with it. They tend to think that education can help change violent behavior, and that positive results of the change can be anticipated. 9.Educators think that the problems of violent families base on the gender inequality. As to the analysis and interpretation of marital violent behavior, they tend to explain it as a learned behavior. According to the above major findings, this study has discussed the image of marriage and marital violence, explored the Taiwan educators’ image of the above subjects and its influences, and researched the characteristics of peace-making and violence in the Chinese society. Clarifying certain values in the image of marital violence is the starting point of prevention education. It is also the solution to the present situation-only professional division without cooperation. Finally, the local studies on this topic were discussed and criticized and suggestions for future studies were provided.
