Sense Of Power

Despite the increased social recognition, law and policy changes within the criminal justice system, and the widespread use of court mandated batterer intervention programs (BIPs) domestic violence continues to be a persistent problem. The lack of significant decline in incidence rates along with a growing body of empirical evidence that indicates BIPs are, at best, only moderately effective raises serious concern. Effective policies and programs should be based on empirically tested theory. The assertion “the batterer’s motive is power and control” has become fundamental to many of the currently used BIPs and accepted mainstream theoretical explanations regarding domestic violence. However, the domestic violence literature has not yet advanced any specific conceptualizations of power, it has not produced a theoretical model of power that articulates why or how power specifically acts as a motive for a batterer, nor has it empirically tested this fundamental assertion. The main goal of this article is to take a step toward addressing this gap and advance our current understanding of an individual’s sense of power and control as a motive for using violence against an intimate partner. Specifically, it will review the pertinent literature regarding power and domestic violence, propose a new theoretical construct calledinternal power, and discuss internal power’s application to understanding a batterer’s “power motive.”

The article is devoted to the study of practical aspects of protection of victims of domestic violence in Ukraine. Domestic violence is understood as a pattern of behavior between people in any relationship that is used to gain or retain power and control over the person with whom they are in a personal relationship. Victims of domestic violence can be members of a couple, as well as a child or other relative or any other family member. The COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to have a significant impact on the spread of the threat of domestic violence. Isolation can identify or exacerbate vulnerabilities due to the lack of established social support systems, reduced economic well-being of families, and psychological and social difficulties. In general, pandemic restrictions have made life difficult for victims of domestic violence. A systematic analysis of guarantees for the protection of victims of domestic violence made it possible to identify the following positive reforms: strengthening regulation; intensification of public authorities' functioning in the field of combating and preventing domestic violence; strengthening of methodological, explanatory and informational activities, which has a dual focus: the legal awareness of victims is intensified and the professionalism of specialized bodies is increased; coordination of system coordination of public and state sphere in the researched sphere. However, the analysis of statistical reports, court decisions, monitoring of public organizations, scientific works of experts indicate that there are a number of problems in the field of protection of victims of domestic violence, so the authors propose a set of measures to help solve the problem. These include: ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention); measures to increase the level of legal awareness and legal culture; the need to improve the skills of police officers in the preparation of administrative materials; changes in established case law on the elimination of ineffective penalties; implementation of positive practice of foreign countries on the implementation of re-education programs for offenders by court decision; maintaining the Unified State Register of Cases of Domestic Violence.

While mediation is commonly used in custody negotiation, there is no consensus regarding its applicability in domestic violence cases. The aim of this qualitative study in Italy was to explore the role of family mediation in the management of child custody in cases involving domestic violence. Semistructured interviews were conducted with lawyers ( N = 5), social workers ( N = 15), and abused women who had separated from their children’s fathers ( N = 13). Legal documents were also analyzed. The results showed that violence against women and children had often been concealed during mediation, as the professionals involved had failed to detect domestic violence or had labeled it as conflicts. Moreover, the “parental couple” had been dissociated from the “marital couple,” and the responsibility for the abuse had been attributed to both parents. As a result, women and children had been blamed and had experienced secondary victimization, while the perpetrators’ patterns of power and control had continued. The results also revealed that those professionals had not known about and had not applied the Istanbul Convention, which provides guidelines to ensure women’s and children’s safety. Recommendations highlight the need to account for the complexity of domestic violence cases, to hold perpetrators responsible for the abuse, and to support the victims.

Resumo A Geografia Humana, que só recentemente desenvolveu maior interesse pelo território, associa-o, conforme as circunstâncias, às idéias de poder e controle, à natureza do laço social ou ao papel das representações simbólicas. O interesse das ciências sociais pelos problemas de identidade cresceu paralelamente ao interesse dos geógrafos pelo território: a identidade está vinculada à cons-trução do “self” ou às relações com o outro, e permanece como uma noção elusiva. O território serve como uma base para sentimentos de identidade de diversos modos. A transição para a pós-mo-dernidade desafia as forças por trás de identidades tradicionais, que induzem a uma busca de identifi-cação para objetos ou paisagens. Isso provoca o fim das filosofias da História sobre as quais foram construídas as identidades e os territórios de outrora. A subseqüente proliferação de discursos iden-titários expressa o déficit de sentido de mundo de hoje e pode se revelar perigoso por suas conse-qüências políticas. Palavras-chave: Controle, História, Identidade, Alteridade, Pós-modernidade, Poder, “Self”, Território. Abstract Human geography, which developed only recently an interest for territory, links it, according to the circunstances, to the idea of power and control, the nature of social link, or the role of symbolic representations. The interest of social sciences for the problems of identity grew at the same time than that of geographers for territory: identity is linked to the construction of self or the relations with others, and remains an elusive notion. Territory serves as a basis for identity feelings according to variable modes. The transition to postmodernity challenges the forces behind traditional identities, which induces a frienzed quest of identification to things or landscapes. It provokes the end of the philosophies of history, upon which were built the identities and territories of yesterday. The ensuing proliferation of identitary discourses expresses the deficit of sense of the world of to-day, and may be dangerous through its political consequences.

AbstractThe world has witnessed many atrocities since the followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, better known as the Khmer Rouge, marched into Phnom Penh on 17 April 1975 and unleashed a regime of terror of more than three and a half years on the Cambodian people in which an estimated quarter of the population perished. However, the fate that befell this small South-East Asian nation continues to grip and challenge the imagination. Perhaps it is the notion of the State turning on its own people on such an unprecedented scale that is so difficult to fathom. Perhaps it is the tranquil, smiling populace, forging a space in the modern era against the proud backdrop of the ancient Angkorian temples that makes such a dark recent history so improbable. Or perhaps it is the scales of justice, finally weighing in, more than thirty years after the crimes in defiance of donor countries' ‘tribunal fatigue’, that have refocused the world's attention.The Khmer Rouge takeover had been preceded by a struggle for power which saw Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who had abdicated and governed Cambodia since independence in 1953, overthrown by Prime Minister Lon Nol and Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak on 17 March 1970. The new government was allied to the United States in the Vietnam War, fuelling Khmer Rouge resentment as well as that of Sihanouk who aligned himself with the communists. The Khmer Rouge gradually consolidated its power and control of territory, and when the time was seen to be ripe to institute the planned nationwide ‘agrarian dictatorship’, it easily overpowered the weak and corrupt Lon Nol government.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to offer an understanding of the body as an archive while analysing poems written by queer and non-binary poet and performer Danez Smith. Seen as a conflicting field for power and control disputes, the archive can be read in different ways and this paper approaches it in order to theorise what a queer archival practice may signal when elements such as gender, sexuality and desire are interrogated in Smith’s poems. Taking into consideration theoretical contributions from Celia Pedrosa et al. (2018), Julietta Singh (2018), David Lapoujade (2017), Ann Cvetkovich (2003) and others, it is concluded that Smith’s poems display a complex negotiation of feeling and the world, allowing new meanings to erupt from the archive.

Violence against women is an important global phenomenon. In Pakistan like other developing countries, women particularly become target of domestic violence. Frequent media reports of violence perpetrated against Pakistani women creates an image of the country as a dangerous place for women to live in. Even though Islam is the official religion of the country, its provisions of justice and equality to protect Muslim women from the domestic tyranny remain ineffective. The prime reason behind this prevalence of violence in the country is the influence of patriarchal norms over the domestic and socio-legal structure of the Pakistani society. Consequently, patriarchal abusive power and control over the lives of women result in the prevalence of varied practices and forms of female domestic violence in the country. However, majority of these victims live in the rural areas of the country where lack of education and resources facilitates the rule of oppre-ssive patriarchal norms and values remotely distant from the teachings of Islam. Among the most popular forms of domestic violence practiced there, honour killing and Vani/ Swara are on the higher scale faced by the females. Honour killing is a form of murder which is committed in order to restore the lost dignity of the aggrieved family. Whereas, Vani/Sarawa is a kind of forced marriage where a female member of the accused family is given to the victim party in order to settle the disputes. Considering the Islamic justifications offered by some Muslim scholars in defense of these two types of violence, the present study challenges the misinterpretation of Quranic verses and Hadith to legitimatize these anti-Islamic practices devised to oppress women. This is done by examining the issue of Honour Killing and Vani (Sawara) through their meaning and historical back ground in the country. Concluding this paper clarifies that Islam condemns killing of mankind and forbids female victimization and the assumed notion of Honor killing and Vani.

Depressive Episodes

Resilience is an important attribute for mental health. Positive benefits felt by resilient individualsinclude fewer depressive episodes, and better coping strategies. Due to the positive outcomesexperienced by resilient people, it may be clinically useful to examine this construct within apsychotherapeutic context. Accordingly, we created the Brunner-Lei-Peters Resilience Scale, whichincluded a preliminary test of 70 items and 10 validity items; we tested the scale on a sample of 150people. Participants were representative of the general population with about an equal representationof gender and a wide age range from 18 to 66 years of age. Although the scale initially included 70items, through psychometric analysis, we reduced the scale to 15 items, while maintaining soundpsychometric validity and reliability. Clinical implications and limitations of the scale are discussed.
