La tardía implantación en España de programas de intervención con hombres maltratadores enfatiza la necesidad de desarrollar investigaciones que maximicen la eficacia de los tratamientos. Hasta el momento, han sido escasos los estudios publicados que evalúen las variables relacionadas con la permanencia o el abandono del tratamiento y su eficacia, y todavía más escasos los que han estudiado este tema desde un punto de vista cualitativo. El objetivo del estudio es identificar aspectos clave en los programas de intervención que puedan mejorar la eficacia de los tratamientos para hombres condenados por un delito de violencia de género a los que se les ha suspendido o sustituido la ejecución de la pena de prisión por la realización del programa terapéutico. Para ello se ha analizado cualitativamente la información obtenida en dos grupos de discusión formados por los psicólogos que aplicaron el programa y distribuidos según el tipo de terapia, individual o grupal.Los resultados reflejan la conveniencia de considerar la especificidad de este contexto de intervención en el diseño de los programas y en la evaluación. Deberán mejorarse las estrategias que aumenten la motivación, la alianza terapéutica y la adherencia de los hombres al tratamiento. Además habrá que ampliar las estrategias de evaluación para que ofrezcan una información cualitativamente diferente y permitan una valoración global del impacto del tratamiento y el riesgo para la víctima.The late implementation in Spain of intervention programmes for male abusers stresses the need to carry out research that can maximise the effectiveness of such treatment. Up till now, very few studies have been published that assess the variables relating to the continuation or abandonment of the treatment and its efficiency, and there are even fewer studies that examine this subject from a qualitative standpoint. The object of the study is to identify key aspects in the intervention programmes that can enhance the efficiency of the treatment offered to men that have been convicted for a crime involving domestic violence, and who have had their prison sentence suspended or commuted to a programme entailing therapy. With this aim in mind, a qualitative analysis is conducted of the data obtained in two discussion groups formed by psychologists who applied the programme and who are distributed in accordance with the type of therapy �individual or group-oriented� they administered.The findings reflect the convenience of considering the specifics of this context of intervention in the design of such programmes, along with their assessment. Strategies should be improved to enhance motivation, and also to strengthen the therapeutic alliance and ensure that the men stick to the treatment. We will also have to broaden our assessment strategies so that they offer data that is qualitatively different and can enable an overall assessment to be made of the impact of the treatment and the risk to the victim.

This article analyses Twitter responses to the death of musician David Bowie as an inroad to a discussion about characteristics and functions of Twitter in the mediated relationships between celebrities, fans and the popular culture industry. The study focuses on questions regarding the nature of the Twitter community, types of emotions as well as expressions of fan creativity and the composition of online mourners. To this end, it provides a broad analysis of all tweets with #Bowie in the first 48 h after Bowie passed away ( N = 252,318) and in-depth, quantitative and qualitative analysis of tweets with 100+ retweets ( N = 130). Results show high levels of retweeting and a limited number of tweets retweeted exceptionally often, suggesting a Twitter ‘elite’ leading the online mourning. This elite consists predominantly of media figures, celebrities, artists and music industry representatives rather than ‘regular’ individuals and fans, resulting in limited expressions of parasocial relationships. Besides being conduits of expressions of grief and information exchange, tweets focus on positive affirmation in tribute to Bowie’s work. Results confirm that Twitter provides a virtual gathering of mourners who are (presumably) looking for recognition of loss and for expressions of support.

Scholars have argued that digital spaces are key sites for feminist activism, which can be seen in the emergence of “hashtag feminism,” or the use of social media hashtags to address feminist-identified issues through sharing personal experiences of inequality, constructing counter-discourses, and critiquing cultural figures and institutions. However, more empirical research is needed that examines both the possibilities and constraints of hashtag feminism. Through a qualitative analysis of 51,577 archived tweets and semi-structured interviews, we trace the ways #WhyIStayed creates a space for feminist activism in response to victim-blaming related to domestic violence through voice, multivocality, and visibility. More specifically, we critically analyze postfeminist discourses within #WhyIStayed in order to examine contradictions within the hashtag event as well as how these postfeminist contradictions shape possibilities for feminist activism online.

The article is devoted to the experience of using a protection order to protect victims of domestic or domestic violence. The article provides an overview of relevant international documents, considers the experience of a number of foreign countries, as well as the experience of Uzbekistan. The article notes that along with the concept of "protection order", there are the concepts of "restrainingorder", "protective order", "injunction", "restraining order", etc. In the practice of foreign countries, as a rule, there are 2 types of protective orders -issued for a shorter period (by the police) and for a longer period (by the court). In parallel with the protection order procedure, the victim has the right to apply to the court for compensation and prosecution of the aggressor
