This dissertation proposes study of contemporary Brazilian films focusing on the portrayal of violence in urban spaces in a number of films set in different cities, namely Estorvo, Cidade de Deus, Carandiru, O Invasor, Amarelo Manga, Cidade Baixa and Tropa de Elite. The problem to be discussed in these films concerns the possibility of understanding violence as a political force that destabilizes notions such as unified self, representation, agency, nationality and class. The films analyzed suggest a tension between images of violence, mimetic, coagulated, normalized violence, and violent images, violence as dissemination, irradiation, fragmentation, explosion. Following the recent theorizations about biopolitics and community (which include the thought of Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Rancière), this work explores how this tension suggests a (re)configuration of ways of living together.
Esta tese propõe um estudo de filmes brasileiros contemporâneos, com ênfase na apresentação da violência e sua relação com o espaço urbano representado, em uma série de obras que se passam em diferentes cidades, a saber, Estorvo, Cidade de Deus, Carandiru, O Invasor, Amarelo Manga, que se passam em diferentes cidades Cidade Baixa e Tropa de Elite. O problema a ser discutido diz respeito à possibilidade de entender a violência como uma força política capaz de desestabilizar noções como self, representação, agência, nacionalidade e classe. Os filmes analisados sugerem uma tensão entre imagens da violência, violência mimética, coagulada, normalizadas, e imagens violentas, violência como disseminação, irradiação, fragmentação, explosão. Tendo como base teorizações recentes sobre biopolítica e comunidade (incluindo o pensamento de Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Jean-Luc Nancy e Jacques Rancière), este trabalho explora como essa tensão sugere uma (re)configuração do modos de viver junto.

Mccreery, Gregory Richard. "Violence and Disagreement: From the Commonsense View to Political Kinds of Violence and Violent Nonviolence". Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6542.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation argues that there is an agreed upon commonsense view of violence, but beyond this view, definitions for kinds of violence are essentially contested and non-neutrally, politically ideological, given that the political itself is an essentially contested concept defined in relation to ideologies that oppose one another. The first chapter outlines definitions for a commonsense view of violence produced by Greene and Brennan. This chapter argues that there are incontestable instances of violence that are almost universally agreed upon, such as when an adult intentionally smashes a child’s head against a table, purposefully causing harm. It is also claimed that, because political, ideological distinctions between kinds of violence arise from the creation of moral equivalences to the commonsense view of violence, political ideology is the source of disagreement. The second chapter argues that the concept of violence and of the political are essentially contested concepts. Gallie’s criteria for what counts as an essentially contested concept are utilized in order to argue that violence is an essentially contested concept at the level of the political, though not at the level of the commonsense view of violence. In fact, the paradigmatic cases that the commonsense view of violence pertains to serve as the core cases that are then interpreted as kinds of violence at the ideological level. To define violence as altogether wrong, or to define kinds of violence as acceptable and others as wrong is itself a politically ideological move to make, such as when liberalism defines its own uses of violence as justified and legitimate, and its enemy’s violence as unjustifiable and illegitimate. The World Health Organization and Bufacchi’s definitions for violence are presented, as are the definition for terroristic violence defined by Nagel. Erlenbusch’s critique of a liberal view, such as that of Nagel and the World Health Organization, is addressed as a reflection on the fact that, beyond the commonsense view of violence, violence is an essentially contested concept for which an ideologically, politically non-neutral definition is unlikely. The third chapter outlines numerous definitions produced by various philosophers, historians, and theorists, such as Machiavelli, Arendt, Hobbes, Kant, Treitschke, Weber, Bakunin, Sorel, Žižek, and Benjamin. The definitions produced by each demonstrates that person’s political ideological assumptions. Their definitions demonstrate an ongoing disagreement, in the sense of Rancière’s formulation for what counts as a disagreement in that each theorist defines kinds of violence under the yoke of their own political ideology. They all might agree that a single act is violent, under the commonsense view of violence, but they disagree concerning what kind of violence it is. So, though they may point to the same events and actions as examples of violence, what they mean fundamentally differs, and this means that they disagree. Their disagreement arises due to their respective political ideologies. This disagreement shows that there is no neutral justification for the neutrality of a state, particularly if a neutral state must defend itself. The state is instead defined in historically contextual terms of how the state relates to kinds of violence, and the distinctions between kinds of violence are not themselves politically, ideologically neutral. So, the concept of violence, beyond the commonsense view, is an essentially contested concept for which a non-neutral definition is unlikely. Beyond the commonsense view, political ideology is inextricably bound up within distinctions between kinds of violence. The fourth chapter then examines arguments on the question of whether nonviolence counts as a kind of violence. If distinctions between kinds of violence are essentially contested and non-neutrally defined, and nonviolence is defined as distinct from violence, then it follows that nonviolence is an essentially contested concept for which no non-neutral definition is possible, at least beyond a commonsense view of nonviolence. A commonsense view of nonviolence is defined as the assumption that nonviolence is not violent in the way that the commonsense view defines violence. That is, nonviolence occurs when there is no action or event that most people would define as a violent one. Definitions for nonviolence, civil disobedience, nonviolent political actions, and nonviolent direct actions are then outlined. These definitions aim at showing that the doctrine of nonviolence does not merely refer to nonviolent acts, but to a strategy that is a means to defeating violence. Given that what counts as the nonviolence that defeats violence is ideologically a matter of disagreement, nonviolence, in this sense, can count as a kind of violence. The fifth chapter concludes, raising questions concerning how violence can be valued, the degree to which a state cannot neutrally justify its neutrality, and the degree to which, beyond the commonsense view of violence, there ever could be agreement concerning what counts as kinds of violence.

Siddiqui, Hannana. "Violence against minority women : tackling domestic violence, forced marriage and 'honour' based violence". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2014. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/64295/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This commentary outlines how my published works have contributed to knowledge on violence against black and minority ethnic (BME) or minority women in the UK, particularly in relation to domestic violence, forced marriage and so called 'honour' based violence (HBV). They help to define and enhance our understanding of these issues. In addition, they have critiqued multiculturalism and influenced, advocated and developed the former Home Office Minister, Mike O'Brien's concept of 'mature multiculturalism' (Parliamentary Debates, 1999; also cited in Home Office, 2000:10), and utilised the theoretical framework of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989 and 1991) to address these problems. I have also located my works within the framework of violence against women and girls (VAWG), secularism, equalities and human rights. My publications have reflected upon and influenced policy, practice and research, and as such, contributed to documenting the history and achievements of black feminism.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La violence est une notion polysemique, subjective et relative. Tout le monde ne partage pas les memes opinions sur la violence. Cela signifie qu'elle peut porter a confusion dans le champ sportif, puisque sous le terme de violence tous les dysfonctionnements du sport peuvent y etre ranges. C'est la raison pour laquelle notre travail cherche a prouver que la violence en sport n'existe pas en soi et qu'elle n'est qu'une production sociale. Autrement dit, le but de cette etude est de montrer que les representations de la violence sont organisees socialement et marquees au coeur meme des sports. Pour ce faire, nous avons interroge quatre cent cinquante competiteurs masculins issus de dix pratiques sportives ainsi que soixante quinze entraineurs et presidents de club de la communaute urbaine de strasbourg. Trois questionnaires ont ete soumis, un pour chacune des positions occupees dans l'espace. Soixante interviews semi-directives ont egalement ete realisees aupres de quelques-uns de ces agents. Il apparait au vu des resultats des sportifs que la violence differe significativement selon les espaces sportifs et selon l'importance des enjeux et des types d'enjeux dans les pratiques sportives. De la meme maniere, il semble que la violence varie significativement selon les investissements sportifs des agents et leurs proprietes sociales. En ce qui concerne les entraineurs et les presidents, les resultats tendent a mettre en exergue d'une part des differences significatives entre pratiques au niveau des representations de la violence en sport et d'autre part que les presidents et les entraineurs sont de possibles gestionnaires de la violence en sport.

Friederic, Karin. "La Violencia Adentro (Violence in the Interior): Gender Violence, Human Rights, and State-Community-NGO Relations in Coastal Ecuador". Diss., The University of Arizona, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/204890.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Building on research conducted over the last ten years, this dissertation explores how local understandings and manifestations of gender violence are changing as women and men learn about human rights and gain access to state-based forms of justice. Wife abuse in coastal Ecuador is often explained as a result of machismo and an enduring culture of violence. I challenge this conception by demonstrating how political, economic and social processes normalize gender violence, and by showing how transnational human rights discourses are reshaping gender relations, structures of impunity, and the visibility of particular forms of violence. Inhabitants in this historically marginalized region are using alliances with transnational NGOs to negotiate their relationship to the state. Human rights, transnational alliances, and improved access to justice offer powerful openings for local women and families, but their empowering potential is delimited by growing social and economic vulnerability and the discrepancies between rights-based subjectivities and preexisting understandings of the self. Ultimately, I argue that human rights - as concept, as practice, and as discourse - reorganize power in ways that warrant both optimism and critique.

Lo, Piccolo Giuseppe. "Images violentes et violence de l'imaginaire : le Photolangage comme dispositif de transformation de la violence auprès d'adolescents agresseurs sexuels". Thesis, Lyon 2, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO20055/document.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dans cette recherche, je me propose d'interroger la méthode Photolangage©, dispositif à médiation thérapeutique, comme outil pour favoriser les processus de lien et de symbolisation dans la situation groupale. L'idée est d'observer à l'œuvre de manière profitable ses fonctions de contenance et transformation de la réalité psychique et, en particulier, la possibilité de double contenance - de la part du groupe et de l'objet médiateur - de mouvements pulsionnels intenses et à leur transformation à travers ce type de dispositif. L'objet de la recherche traite donc des potentialités d'une telle technique thérapeutique et de comment, ce type de dispositif peut contenir et transformer - et éventuellement prévenir - les manifestations agressives, voire violentes, des sujets qui prennent part à l'expérience. Pour ce faire, j’ai participé à la mise en place et la co-animation d’un groupe d'adolescents engagés dans des agirs sexuels violents. Je présenterai ainsi le cas d'un dispositif expérimental et original d'un petit groupe avec des mineurs auteurs de violence sexuelle dont le cadre prévoyait l'alternance de séances de groupe de parole et de séances à médiation Photolangage©. L'observation et l'analyse d'un tel dispositif et d'une telle clinique permettent de mettre en évidence les processus en jeu dans ce cadre singulier et de mettre l'accent sur l'apport de la médiation par la photographie au sein d'une telle prise en charge. Le Photolangage© sera présenté dans sa double fonction de dispositif de soin et de recherche. Le rapport entre image et imaginaire et entre image et affect sera le noyau à partir duquel j'aborderai la question de la transformation de ces mêmes affects et de la violence. Il s'agit alors d'apporter la preuve de la pertinence et de l'efficacité de ces groupes spécifiques et de leur capacité à mieux contenir la violence que les dispositifs individuels, comment de mieux gérer et transformer, en vue d'une meilleure intégration sociale des sujetsThis research explores the use of Photolangage© as a therapeutic tool for promoting relational processes and the development of symbolisation in group settings. Its capacity to hold and transform psychic reality is examined, particularly the possibility of dual holding of intense drives - by the group and by the mediating object – and of their transformation through the use of this kind of therapeutic method. The potential of such a therapeutic technique is explored, how it can contain, transform and perhaps even predict aggressive or violent behaviours in participants of the group. To this end, I took part in setting up and co-leading a therapy group for adolescents who engage in violent sexual acts. The case study presents an experimental and innovative small group therapy structure, with sexually aggressive minors, which was organised so that verbal sessions alternated with Photolangage© sessions. Observation and analysis of this method and this clinical practise bring to light the processes at work within this unusual framework, and highlight the role that mediation via photography can play at the heart of therapeutic support groups.This research presents the dual functions of Photolangage© as therapeutic and research methodology. The relationship between image and imagination, and between image and emotion, form the core from which questions about transformation of emotions and violence are broached. The relevance and efficiency of these specific groups and their capacity to contain and hold violence better than individual therapy structures is explored; how to better manage and transform, for improved social integration of our patients

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis research has examined what male social workers believe to be the causes of domestic violence and, more importantly, what they believe causes non-violence between partners. The research was a qualitative study of interviews with men, mostly social workers, who worked with both perpetrators and victims of domestic violence. The aims of the research are to provide some answers as to why, despite the attention given to domestic violence and the provision of DV treatment programs by social workers and counsellors, in both public and private sectors, the problem remains intractable.
Twenty men who worked in the area of domestic violence were interviewed, individually, with a series of twenty five questions. Two leaders of a local men's group were also interviewed. The main discussion topics for all these men were their views on the causes of domestic violence and then, more positively, what they felt were the reasons why most men, including themselves, were physically non-violent.
Investigating what these men feel causes domestic violence and nonviolence may provide an insight into what brings most men in our society to be physically non-violent to their partners. Hopefully, this information can be used to implement factors into families and society to work towards non-violence.
The interviewees' definitions of domestic violence were discussed, and what causes it. What causes non-violence, and scripting was positioned by them as the major factor in both. Within traditional Western male scripting lies males' sense of entitlement to privileged positions in their families and society. A question about violence surfaced. What is the purpose of violence? For the purpose of this research violence is defined as person or persons insisting on getting what they want, as a result of their claim to have the right to have it.
Male entitlement to privileges was identified by five of the men as being problematical and a central cause of domestic violence. The other fifteen interviewees, as well as the two men from the men's groups, accepted but appeared to discount the issue on varying levels. Whilst five men saw the existence of male privilege as a significant problem that needs changing, ten of the others saw the existence of it, but defined it as normal, and therefore by implication, believe it will be maintained, or that it can not be changed.
One of the underpinning dynamics revealed in this research is that the issue of male privilege is apparent to some and invisible to others, in the context of domestic violence this is going to be a problem.
In dealing with domestic violence we have to not simply invest in putting more social workers in the DV area; they need to be properly and adequately trained, and adequately committed to a treatment model which foregrounds male privilege [and does not present men as victims.] We need public investment in DV counselling, training and accreditation. We need to address the issue of male privilege in the whole of society and to focus on creating equality of power in relationships between men and women.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
YesIn this paper, we consider the phenomenon of “pedagogical violence” — infliction of physical, social, emotional, or psychological pains, or threat of such pains that is either the means for or non-accidental by-products of education used on a systematic basis. Pedagogical violence is often used for promoting certain desired learning in students. Alternatively, it can emerge as a violent reaction in students and teachers to particular educational settings directed against other students or teachers. In this paper, we review some of the debates and controversial issues around pedagogical violence, and we use a variety of illustrative examples to explore in more detail what pedagogical violence means in particular contexts. We argue that pedagogical violence is a natural consequence of alienated instrumental education. We will look at teachers’ desire to avoid physical and psychosocial pedagogical violence. We specifically consider diverse forms of psychosocial pedagogical violence and its issues such as: summative assessment, epistemological pedagogical violence, students’ ambivalence around pedagogical violence, rehabilitating/avoiding pedagogical violence through a carnival. We finish with a reflection about what can be done to minimize pedagogical violence. Our analysis heavily relies on the Bakhtinian theoretical framework of critical ontological dialogism.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The study examines women's use of violence, focusing on the experiences of seven women who disclosed that they had perpetrated serious indictable crimes. The crimes included murder, accessory to murder after the fact, manslaughter, child sexual and physical assaults, grievous bodily harm, stalking and threats to kill. The narratives of the seven women form the central focus of the study and these stories contribute to our understanding of the lives of individual women who perpetrate violence. I also include the narratives of one hundred and twenty workers, analyse relevant sentencing comments, and draw on key insights from other research. I began the study believing that I would discover a single truth as to why women hurt other people. My original hypothesis was that women perpetrate violence because of their previous experiences of violence perpetrated by men and/or disadvantage due to structural oppression. In part this assumption has been borne out, with all of the women who participated in the study disclosing that they have been victims of serious violence as both children and adults. However, during the course of the study, I discovered that women's lives and their choices to perpetrate or participate in violent crimes are more complex and contradictory than my simple original hypothesis suggested. I found that the women whom I interviewed and the women whom the workers worked with, were active agents in their own lives, they made choices and engaged in activities that met some of their own needs. Sometimes these choices meant another person suffered extreme pain, injury or death. I came to the conclusion that all of us have the potential to seriously assault others. Drawing on a feminist analysis of male violence, I believe that women's, like men's, violence is also 'individually willed' and 'socially constructed' (Dankwort and Rausch, 2000: 937). I locate women's behaviour in an analytical framework that views violence as a deeply embedded part of our shared ideology, beliefs and social activities. This social fabric contributes to, and fundamentally influences, the choices of individual women who perpetrate violence. The familial, social, cultural and individual factors that contribute to women choosing to perpetrate violence against others are complex and challenging. The study critically examines these factors and describes how different factors intersect with each other.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Interpersonal violence and suicide are major health concerns, leading to premature death, extensive human suffering and staggering monetary costs. Although violent behaviour has multiple causes, it is well known that acute substance intake and abuse increase the risks of both interpersonal and self-directed violence. This association is quite well established for alcohol, while a more ambiguous literature exists for other common drugs of abuse. For example, anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), synthetic analogues to the “male” sex hormone testosterone are suggested to elicit violent and aggressive behaviour. Two studies (I and III) in the present thesis addressed the association between AAS use and being suspected or convicted of a violent crime among remand prisoners and in a general population sample, respectively. Further, using the case-crossover design to control for confounders stable within individuals, I also investigated the triggering (short-term risk) effect of alcohol and drugs such as benzodiazepines and AAS, on violent crime (Study II). Finally, a fourth study (IV) based on a large national forensic sample of suicide completers (n=18,894) examined the risk of using a violent, more lethal, suicide method, when under acute influence of alcohol, central stimulants or cannabis. The results of this thesis suggested that AAS use in itself is not a proximal risk factor for violent crime; the observed risk is probably due to the co-occurrence of abuse of other substances. Alcohol is a strong triggering risk factor for violent crime, constant across males and females as well as individuals with or without behavioral and psychiatric vulnerability. Intake of high doses of benzodiazepines is associated with an increased risk for violent crime. Cannabis use is associated with an increased risk of using the lethal suicide method of jumping from a height. I conclude that mapping substance abuse patterns may inform violence risk assessment and treatment planning.

The United States Defense and development agencies often attribute political violence and instability to poverty and a lack of economic development. However, the cases of Morocco and Algeria challenge this popular assumption as Morocco is considerably poorer than Algeria, yet enjoys greater political stability with less incidences of political violence. Beyond the traditional answers of economic aid and political intervention, these two nations demonstrate that national identity is also necessary in establishing more stable and sustainable practices.

Abdallah, Kheira. "Pouvoir, tradition, violence liée au genre : La violence en Algérie". Antilles-Guyane, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007AGUY0203.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La violence conjugale doit, désormais, être envisagée comme un phénomène socio-politique. Bordant l'Algérie, il apparaît que plusieurs facteurs doivent être pris en compte. En particulier, le politique, la tradition. Celle-ci étant largement alimentée par la religion. A l'intérieur de ce cadre, d'autres variables sont abordées. Celles relevant de l'économique et du social mais aussi du capital culturel. L'étude est aussi comparative, examinant la situation dans la plupart des pays arabes tout en ne négligeant pas la réalité de sociétés a priori très différentes comme celles d'Europe du Nord. Une enquête de terrain, en Algérie, nourrit l'analyse. Les formes de la violence conjugale ainsi que les méthodes de mariage encore très marquées par la tradition sont également étudiées. La modernité ne modifie pas fondamentalement la situation même si certaines des variables étudiées ont subi des évolutions incontestables. Cependant la violence de genre imputable pour partie à la place de la femme dans la société qui doit autant à la tradition qu'à la religion se manifeste toujours avec une grande ampleurMarital violence must, from now on, be considered as a socio-policy phenomenon. As far as Algeria is concerned, it appears that several factors must be taken into account. In particular, policy, tradition. This one being largely fed by religion. Inside this framework, we go through other elements like Economy, Society and cultural backgrounds. Our study is also comparative, taking into account the situation in the majority of the Arab countries without neglecting the reality of societies so different from those of Northern Europe. Thanks to a field investigation in Algeria, we can give concrete examples. The forms of marital violence as well as the still very marked methods of traditional marriage are also studied. Modernity does not modify the situation basically even if some of the studied variables underwent undeniable evolutions. The violence linked to woman's position in society (coming from Tradition and Religion) is still very common

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis seeks to analyze the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) within female same-sex relationships in order to uncover how/if it can be related to an invisibility of female same-sex relationships in society at large. By analyzing various articles and academic texts dealing with IPV in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships, the hope is to establish some core differences and similarities within the field of IPV research. The analysis will also look at how the notion of the violent female is addressed, and how other characteristics such as race, ethnicity, age and ableness compound in the narratives of IPV in female same-sex relationships. The analysis will be carried out with the use of domestic violence theory through an ecological model which allows all environments an individual inhabits to be analyzed. Intersectionality alongside a post-colonial and queerfeminist approach will also be applied in the qualitative text analysis of the material. Numerous methods and explanations are put forward in the literature in order to explain IPV, in hetero and homo relationships. Lacking in the discussion is the image of the female abuser while also missing discussions on other intersecting identity markers.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Aim of this study is to examine violence in close relationship and to explore the different explanation on men's violence as well as the factors that contribute to their violent behavior. Violence in close relationships can occur in different forms and anyone can fall as a victim of both physical and mental abuse. Violence and discrimination against women violates the principles of equal rights and respect for human dignity. In Sweden, men's violence against women and violence in close relationships is still a major problem that requires great work and attention. It is one of Sweden's responsibility to meet all people's equal values and rights and to fight violence in close relationship.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Violence is widely associated with organised crime, specifically drug markets, and is one of the features that differentiates illegal capitalism from legitimate business. This thesis is informed by a series of ethnographic interviews and informal conversations with former drug market participants and examines the causes of business related violence Dublin’s illegal drug trade. The research also investigates the interpersonal dynamics of violence amongst actors and provides insight into the characterological traits of violent people. The thesis begins with an examination of the role of violence amongst addicts in the street retail market and situates violent acts in the context of a compulsive disorder that suppresses moral standards and diminishes sympathy with victims. The relationship between profit oriented dealers and their often addicted customers is analysed to understand the intricacies of debt enforcement in the drug trade, and the thesis offers an explanation of dealers violence that is, at least in part, a response to the credit based system of commerce that the trade depends on. Paranoia is rampant amongst actors in the drug trade and they often suspect betrayal from within their own circle of friends and associates. Further, many of these men have a great sense of self-regard and are highly sensitive to the humiliation of personal insult. The research also looks at the violent practice of the more powerful actors in the illegal drug trade; the dominant criminals who maintain their positions for many years and accumulate great wealth. Many of these men suffer as a result of their way of life and can experience deterioration of their psychological health and emotional wellbeing as a result of living with the intense pressure of interpersonal conflict. Desistance from crime is possible for some of the men who have been very violent in the pursuit of profit and power.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis focuses on the violent actions, illegal and semi-legal, of the men and women of north eastern England in the period c. 1650 to 1720. The north east in this period was poised between a violent reiving past and the more cultured, "civilised" society of the later eighteenth century. This makes it a fascinating period for a study of violence, in its own right and as an index of wider social and individual tensions. Both qualitative and quantitative methodology have been employed to facilitate a greater understanding not only of the bare facts of violent acts, but also their contexts and the meanings they held to those involved. The main sources for this study are legal depositions, from the courts of Durham, Newcastle, Berwick, Northumberland, and the northern circuit assizes; these have been supplemented with other material where possible. Major themes which are drawn from the material include the ways in which ideas of honour functioned to both provoke and constrain assault, the relationship between assault and legitimate forms of violence, and the nature of gender difference in the context of violent activity. By exposition of the wide range of motives which led to violence, this thesis also argues against the stereotypical perception of early modern man as prone to meaningless aggression.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines attachment style in an offending population, across different types of offender with a focus on violent offending and institutional violence. Chapter One presents a systematic review exploring attachment style and offending behaviour. 9 studies were included and identified that attachment theory is useful in understanding the internal process of the offender as they are more likely than non-offenders to have an insecure attachment. However, the focus was on sex offenders so the need for more research looking at different offender groups was highlighted. Chapter Two presents a study exploring attachment, anger and violence in 72 males detained in a high secure hospital. Statistically significant findings showed that the entire sample were more likely to have a dismissive attachment style, but sex offenders were more likely to be secure in attachment style compared to violent offenders. In addition, those with a secure style had lower anger temperament scores compared to those with an insecure style. Chapter Three presents a critique of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (Spielberger, 1999) as literature has previously linked anger with violence and the tool was used in the study. Identifying reliability, validity and limitations is likely to benefit future research and practice.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Australia has one of the highest suicide rates in the developed world. Epidemiological data indicate that young men (15-25 years of age) make up one of the most vulnerable groups. The print media regularly portray men in this age group as aggressive and violent in various ways (on the sporting field, at war, in their cups, in contests and in leisure, all of which which take on many different forms). This dissertation presents a collection of such images gleaned over a number of years, the purpose of which is to evoke Durkheim's notion of suicidogenic currents that flow through the ??collective consciousness??, finding, according to Durkheim, their clearest expression in suicide rates. Using the notion of ??suicidogenic current?? as a sensitizing concept, this thesis traces the way in which violence weaves its way through social life and influences social relations that may be conducive to suicide. It will be argued that the images presented ?? arranged, for effect, as photomontages ?? express the celebration of violence as a powerful social trend which runs not only through social activity, but also through hearts and minds of contemporary persons; as such, it constitutes one of the suicide-inducing conditions in contemporary society.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis aims to explore the role of trauma in an individual’s pathway to violence. Professionals consider offenders’ history of trauma when assessing risk of violence, and research has found an established relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and perpetration of violence. Military populations may be particularly vulnerable to this relationship. The introduction explores relevant theories. The second chapter presents a systematic review of literature relating to the relationship between PTSD and violence in military populations. Few mediating psychological processes have been identified, therefore the role of cognition is considered. Chapter Three examines the psychometric properties of a measure of violent thoughts – the Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT). This measure is used alongside the Schedule of Imagined Violence (SIV) in a research study in Chapter Four which aims to empirically assess the role of violent cognitions in mediating the relationship between PTSD and violence in a military population. The results support the relationship between PTSD and violence, PTSD and violent cognitions, and violent cognitions and violent behaviour. Violent fantasy measured by the SIV mediated this relationship. However, the violent thoughts measured by the FAVT did not account for a sufficient amount of the variance, suggesting there are other mediating factors. These findings are discussed in the final chapter contextualised in the literature and the implications for practice. Finally, it is considered whether a unique pathway to violence exists for military populations with PTSD, and a model of this pathway is presented based on the findings of this thesis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Despite decades of research on intimate-partner violence (IPV), debates and unanswered questions abound in the literature, to which many disciplines—psychology, sociology, criminal justice, law, and public health—have contributed. One long-standing and particularly contentious debate regards gender symmetry, or whether women are as violent in intimate relationships as men. This essay begins with a historical overview of IPV research; it then summarizes recent work on gender and IPV and discusses how estimates of the prevalence and gender distribution of IPV vary depending on its definition and measurement. Reviewing the literature on the heterogeneity of IPV, this essay notes that better understanding of different IPV types may resolve some discrepancies in research. The essay also considers how gender norms may shape IPV and reviews research on experiences of sexual minorities and of those of different races, immigration statuses, and cultures. The final section identifies topics in need of further exploration over the next decade.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Il aura fallu, l'été 2003, la fin tragique, abondamment médiatisée, d'une jeune actrice de talent, pour rappeler ce phénomène social trop occulté de la violence envers les femmes au sein du couple qu'elles forment avec leur mari ou leur compagnon. Cette violence insidieuse, diffuse ou brutale, occasionnelle ou fréquente, se manifeste sous des formes très diverses : psychologique, économique, physique. Allant de subtiles vexations à des coups qui, souvent, peuvent être fatals. Elle traduit chez son auteur, un homme dans la majorité des cas, un besoin de domination provenant le plus souvent d'un complexe d'infériorité dont les origines sont multiples. Puisant ses racines dans les relations inégalitaires entre homme et femme, elle constitue parfois une revanche à la perte de privilèges traditionnels. Contrairement à une idée reçue qui cantonne la violence conjugale dans les milieux défavorisés, la pauvreté et le manque d'instruction ne sont pas des facteurs significatifs. Ce phénomène n'épargne aucun pays et n'est pas le fait des pays les moins favorisés. Des organismes internationaux tels que le Conseil de l'Europe ont enfin pris conscience du problème. Dès le 26 mars 1985, le Comité des ministres du Conseil de l'Europe adressait aux Etats membres une large recommandation sur la violence au sein de la famille, pour les inciter, notamment à sensibiliser l'opinion publique sur l'ampleur, la gravité et les traits particuliers des violences. . . En vue de lutter contre ce phénomène. Les pouvoirs publics nationaux ont longtemps tardé à réagir et à adopter des réglementations spécifiques en la matière qui sont encore inconnues dans de nombreux paysIt occured in the summer of 2003, the tragic and well publicised demise, of a talented young actress, reminding us of the concealed social phenomenon of violence towards women in a relationship, forrmed with their husband or their partner. This insidious violence, diffused or brutal, occasional or frequent, manifests itself in a variety of diverse forms: psychological, economic, physical. Subtle offenses through knocks and blows, can often be fatal. The expression of violence by her perpetrator, a man in the majority of cases, with the need to dominate all, more often with an inferiority complex, whose origins are many. Powering the roots of unequal relationships between man and woman, she sometimes takes revenge to the loss of traditional privileges. Contrarily there is an idea that limits conjugal violence to the background of the underprivileged, the effects of poverty and a lack of education are not significant factors. This phenomenon is not saved only for particular countries and is not the doing of countries less favoured. The international bodies such as the “Conseil de l'Europe” are at last taking recognition of the problem. On 26th March, 1985, the committee of the “Conseil de l'Europe” addressed the member states with a recommendation on violence within the family, to encourage greater public awareness and scope, describing the gravity and particular traits of violence. . . . In seeing the struggle against this phenomenon. The public needs of nations are long overdue, to be able to react and adopt specific laws/regulations in the matter that are again unknown in a number of countries

Si loin d'être visible, la violence est ce qui rend visible ce qui fait voir et en cela est indissociable de la théâtralité en tant que celle-ci distrait, différencie et unifie dans un même mouvement corps et langage, de l'art n'est-elle pas alors la fortune mais aussi la menace résistance contre toute mise en ordonne des sens ?

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Workplace violence against nurses causes stress, job dissatisfaction, injury, and financial burden. The purpose of this project was to examine training for nurses on violence, risk factors and on reporting workplace violence. The practice-focused question was designed to examine the effectiveness of educating nurses regarding violent patients and how to report episodes of violence. Benner's novice to expert theory guided the skill acquisition training of a convenience sample of 25 Midwestern medical nurses. The nurses participated by completing a survey prior to and following a violence simulation. A qualitative design was used with the 25 nurse participants who completed the pre-and post-simulation education surveys to assess for increased knowledge. Data were manually tabulated by coding responses into categories. Categorical themes of risk factors related to violence included environment, behavior, and illness-related; and themes related to interventions to prevent violence included awareness, education, communication, de-escalation, and calming. Overall results indicated that nurses saw the importance of reporting all injuries and violence to supervisors. The project makes a meaningful contribution to nursing practice by informing nurses how to report violence and injury from violence, and by informing administrators of the need for education in the recognition of risk factors for violence. The positive social change impact of this study for nurses is increased awareness that violence is not acceptable, and that a healthy work environment benefits nurses and promotes a safer healthcare work environment for patients and visitors to the healthcare setting.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
During the latest years, the phenomenon of violence against teachers has been a growing concern for contemporary schools all over the world (Bounds & Jenkins, 2018). Existing studies propose increasing prevalence estimates (McMahon et al., 2017) and various harmful consequences for victims and schools (Wilson et al., 2011; Huang et al., 2017). Yet, this phenomenon is still severely understudied. Therefore, this study attempts to address some of the existing literature gaps by providing in-depth qualitative information on educators’ thoughts and experiences on the subject. More specifically, this study aims to investigate the different forms and consequences of violence against teachers as well as the teachers’ perceptions about the factors that motivate students to engage in violent behaviours against them. Information relevant to the purpose of this study was comprehended through semi-structured interviews and analysed by using the method of conventional context analysis. Findings from the interviews suggested that violence against teachers is commonly experienced in both indirect (e.g. rumour spreading, property crime) and direct forms (e.g. verbal and physical violence), whereas consequences were found to impact teachers’ psychological wellbeing, their personal lives, the students and consequently several aspects of the school climate itself (e.g. teaching and learning experience). Additional findings suggested that students’ violent behaviour can be motivated by several factors who are either of personal nature to a student (e.g. receiving an unexpected grade) or a result of the preestablished student culture (e.g. normalisation of violence among peers and generalisation of behaviour). Directions for future research, policy implications and targeted interventions are considered in the context of these findings.

YesThis paper is about civil society participation in two contexts of chronic violence: Colombia and Guatemala. It explores the extent to which civil society organisations can build citizenship in such contexts and simultaneously address violence. It argues that civil society organisations can play a vital role in building citizenship and confronting violent actors and acts of violence. However, in order to address chronic, perpetuating violence and interrupt its transmission through time and space, it is important to clarify the relationship between power and violence. Conventional forms of dominating power correlate with violence. Loss of such power or a bid to gain it can lead to violence, particularly where social constructions of masculinity are affirmed by such behaviour. The paper asks whether the promotion of non-dominating forms of power are needed if we are to tackle the damaging effects on human relationships and progress of willingness to inflict direct physical hurt on the Other. Non-dominating forms of power focus on enhancing everyone¿s power potential and capacity for action and promoting communication. If non-violence and non-dominating power gradually become the social norm, this might enhance citizenship and participation in ways that tackle other forms of violence, such as structural violence.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Obstetric violence is considered as a particular type of mistreatment which can hurt physically, mentally and psychologically a pregnant woman and it occurs in both public hospital and private health facilities. It is performed by health personnel that, through abuses and mistreatments during the pregnancy and the post-partum cares, violate some human rights of women such as the right to information and autonomous consensus, the right to life and health and to privacy.
In this thesis, obstetric violence is analysed from the juridical point of view and it is showed why it should be considered as another category of violence against women even though there is still not an unanimous consensus at international level. It has been demostrated that many of the practices normally performed to accelerate a birth, are considered dangerous by the WHO. At least one in five women has suffered from obstetric violence and in some case, that leds to maternal death.
From Venezuela 2007 (the first time the term is used in a national law) to the latest projects of law and judgements by international courts, this thesis explains why international bodies should finally recognise obstetric violence as a type of violence against women and give it an international recognisition.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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

The purpose of this study was to explore women's dual experiences of IPV to examine whether their motivations fit the current framework on four types of intimate partner violence (IPV) in light of Johnson's typology, which includes: violent resistance (VR), situational couple violence (SCV), mutual violent combat (MVC), and intimate terrorism (IT) (Kelly and Johnson 2008). I applied these types of IPV to describe women's physical aggression, control, and emotional responses experienced and performed during IPV. Johnson's typology classified six of 10 participant experiences; to describe the remaining four, I applied blended types of IPV. Findings in this study indicated that VR and SCV overlooked women's use of controlling physical aggression; this study identified alternative concepts and additional dimensions of control and resistance, and introduced tempered violence resistance (TVR), a new IPV type to describe women's use of controlling physical aggression during protective violence.
Correspondingly, findings also indicated that interpretations of physical aggression and control in MVC and IT did not consider wide-ranging degrees of control such as self-control, situational control, and partner control. Hence, distinctions between SCV or MVC and MVC or IT were limited by vague interpretations of control. Furthermore, VR, MVC, and IT did not fully describe women's emotional responses. These types of violence focused solely on the context of physical aggression and control, which minimized perceptions of conflict and omitted reported samples of motivations. Forthcoming studies applying Johnson's typology should include external contexts of relationship conflict and consider multiple types control and dimensions of resistance.Ph. D.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article takes a closer look at interactions defined as domestic violence. The intension is to understand how using violence at home can be legitimized with the point of departure of the violent person. The article is therefore based on interviews with three people who have used violence towards a family member. Their stories illuminate processes divided into three phases; in the first phase, the informants perceived the situation which leads to violence as characterized by stress and a feeling of being inferior. In the second phase, the act of violent itself is a way of communicate a disagreement, the target being control over a chaotic situation and its actors. In the third phase, when explaining the events in a retro perspective, it is not referred to as violence, and it is not discussed within the home. The informant tends to normalize the use of aggressive behavior with a group acceptance. Their individual legitimization techniques are related to group and societal aspects in the discussion. To prevent further violence, I argue, the violent people need an established place within the healthcare system in Norway.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Men’s violence against women is a persistent social problem with great individual and societal consequences. Despite governmental measures taken in Sweden to prevent and reduce the prevalence of men’s violence against women, the violence does not appear to decrease. Research questions the efficacy of initiatives aimed at reducing men’s violence against women and suggest that one explanation to why this reduction does not happen is because normative masculinity is used to excuse men’s violence against women and present men as victims of masculinity. In this study, which focuses on men’s violence against women in Sweden, discourse analysis was carried out on a government equality document, on SKL material and on men’s verbal accounts in court cases of gross violation of a woman’s integrity in order to understand if Swedish discourse presents normative masculinity as an excuse for men’s violence against women. The results of discourse analysis of a government equality document and the SKL material revealed that masculinity is presented not so much as the excuse for men’s violence but as thereason for why men are kept from taking responsibility for their violence. The findings showed persistent argumentation for women’s use of violence as well as claims that not all men are violent and that masculinity is an issue that needs to be handled on a societal level. Negative behaviors, due to adhering to normative masculinity, was found to rarely be presented as the responsibility of individual men. Discourse analysis of men’s verbal accounts in cases of gross violation of a woman’s integrity showed that several categories and patterns emerged from these accounts in regards to how masculinity was verbalized and used as a possible excuse for why violence had occurred. Men’s own verbal accounts did not mention masculinity explicitly but presented excuses for the violence which previous research has found to relate to normative masculinity.

Les ressentis face aux situations de violence scolaire sont complexes et les diagnostics institutionnels par exemple SIGNA ne permettent pas toujours la mise en place de solutions adaptées au niveau national. Les associations de quartiers à partir de diagnostics locaux élaborés parfois avec les acteurs concernés mettent en place des actions plus ciblées que les précédentes. Ces recherches ont pour objectif d'évaluer l'impact de la dynamique associative sur la progression de la violence scolaire à partir d'un échantillon de dix sept projets associatifs mis en place en 2004 pour prévenir les violences. Cet échantillon est évalué à travers un ensemble de données chiffrées institutionnelles (SIGNA et les indicateurs de vie scolaire), des entretiens menés auprès des porteurs de projets et des bilans écrits. Il apparaît qu'au-delà d'une évolution très significative des chiffres, ce sont surtout le climat des établissements qui se trouvent modifié vers un renforcement du lien socialThe experiences with situations of school violence are complex and institutional diagnostics as SIGNA do not still allow the deployment of adapted solutions at national level. Due to local diagnoses sometimes build with the concerned actors, the neighborhood associations engage more targeted actions than before. These studies are intended to assess the impact of dynamic association on the progression of school violence from a sample of seventeen associative prevention projects set up in 2004. This sample is evaluated through a series of institutional figures (SIGNA and school life indicators), the talks carried out with the projects leaders and written conclusions. It appears that beyond a very significant evolution of statictical datas it is mainly the climate trend in schools which is modified, towards a strengthening of social bond

Peer violence perpetration and victimization are the most common types of violence among youths (Swahn et al., 2008). This study determined the associations between peer violence attitudes and involvement in peer violence perpetration and peer violence victimization among boys and girls in high-risk urban community. Analyses were based on data from the 2004 Youth Violence Survey, administered to over 80% of public school students in grades 7, 9, 11, and 12 (N = 4131) in a high-risk urban community. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were conducted to test the associations between attitudes and involvement in violent behaviors after controlling for demographic characteristics and potential confounders (e.g., child maltreatment, substance use, weapon carrying, and efficacy to avoid violence). Results show that among all youths, attitudes supporting boys hitting boys significantly increased the odds of peer violence perpetration (AOR: 1.48; 95% CI = 1.13, 1.95). However, stratified analyses for boys and girls show that attitudes supporting boys hitting boys increased the odds of peer violence perpetration for girls only (AOR: 1.57; 95% CI = 1.04, 2.37). The findings demonstrate associations between attitudes and actual involvement in violent behaviors, but they need to be further explored. Additional research is needed to determine how attitude modifications can be incorporated into youth violence prevention programs.
