Slasher Films

A content analysis of popular 1990s slasher films found more acts of violence than similar films from the 1980s. Recent slasher films rarely mix scenes of sex and violence. This finding calls into question claims that slasher films portray eroticized violence that may blunt males' emotional reactions to film violence. Slasher films feature males more often as victims of violence. However, the ratio of female victims is higher in slasher films than in commercially successful action-adventure films of the 1990s. Finally, females are shown in fear for longer periods of time.

Istanbul Convention

On 27 June 2013 Italy ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention). This ratification was the result of the recent focus of socio-political forces on the serious and widespread phenomenon of violence against women in Italy. This article seeks to analyze the issue of how to ensure the effective implementation of this comprehensive and complex source of international obligations in the domestic legal order. In this analysis, specific attention will be devoted to one particularly significant aspect of non-compliance with the Istanbul Convention, i.e. the rights of female victims of violence to receive State compensation as a form of reparation, enshrined in its Article 30. At the same time, the analysis of Article 30 will raise more general points with regard to how to remedy instances of failed implementation of human rights treaties, and most importantly on the possible role of national courts in ensuring respect of such treaties when the latter are not assisted by a supranational judicial authority in charge of their interpretation and implementation.

This content analysis examines written documentation of telephone calls to a regional sexual assault hotline over a 5-year period. All male callers identified as primary victims were selected for analysis ( n = 58) and a corresponding sample of female primary victims ( n = 58) were randomly selected for comparison to better understand the help-seeking behavior of sexual assault survivors and inform services accordingly. A summative content analysis revealed significant contrasting themes between male and female victims, including females significantly receiving more referrals and males accessing the hotline to tell their experience of being sexually assaulted due to perceived limited support. Implications for training, practice, and future research are discussed.

Nevertheless, these symptoms had been resolved due to protective factors such as personal characteristics (educational background and self-care) and social support (personal and professional support from the organization). This study added to our knowledge on how to create supportive system for volunters who provide services for victims of violence against women.
