Stalking by Former Intimates: Verbal Threats and Other Predictors of Physical Violence

Scant empirical research has been conducted on the relationship between threats and violence. The purpose of this analysis is to assess the link between verbal threats of violence and actual physical violence against former intimate victims of stalking. The researcher interviewed 187 female former intimate stalking victims, asking respondents about various characteristics of their experiences. Responses to questions pertaining to threats; history of violence; stalkers’ drug and alcohol use; frequency of phone calls, “following,” and letters during stalking; and victims’ age and education were analyzed as possible predictors of three violence-related dependent variables: (a) whether or not violence occurred, (b) the number of violent incidents during stalking, and (c) physical injury during stalking. The results of linear and logistic regression models reveal that, regardless of the measure of violence, there is an independent, moderate, and statistically significant correlation between verbal threats and subsequent violence. Regression coefficients for drug abuse and alcohol abuse were also statistically significant, but only in predicting physical injury during stalking.

The Conquest of Death considers the concepts of violence and state power far more broadly and holistically than previous accounts of state growth by intertwining the national and the local, the formal and the informal to illustrate how the management of incidental acts of violence and justice was as important to the monopolization of violence as the creation of the machinery of warfare. It reveals how the creation and operation of everyday bureaucracy built systems of power far exceeding its original intent and allowed a greater centralized surveillance of daily life than ever before. In sum, this book forces us to think about state formation not in terms of the broad strokes of legislative policy and international competition, but rather as a process built by multiple tiny actions, interactions and encroachments which fundamentally redefined the nature of the state and the relationship between government and governed. The Conquest of Death thus provides a new approach to the history of state formation, the history of criminal justice and the history of violence in early modern England. By locating the creation of an effective, permanent monopoly of violence in England in the second-half of the sixteenth century, this book also provides a new chronology of the divide between medieval and modern while divorcing the history of state growth from a linear history of centralization.

Abstract The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between partner’s jealousy and the anxiety level presented by male domestic abusers, comparing these variables with men of similar age, socio-economic status, and educational level, without a history of domestic violence. The sample consisted of 20 male abusers and 20 men without a history of violence towards their partner. A Batterer Semi-Structured Interview on Family of Origin; the Romantic Jealousy Scale; and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used as instruments. The groups did not differ statistically regarding age, education, and income; however, they were statistically different regarding the variables jealousy and anxiety levels. Abusers presented higher scores on jealousy and anxiety than non-abusers It is suggested that jealousy combined with anxiety may contribute to intimate partner violence. Future studies could further investigate this possibility using larger samples.

This chapter contends that American exceptionalism is a far more complex issue than it initially appears. Which nations are exceptional? When, and in what ways? Once the question of exceptionalism is asked over a long span of time, its answer is almost always fluid and complicated. Hence, the chapter turns to comparative historical research in isolating the most important causes of incidents like homicide and punitive penal policies, by showing that those causes recur again and again in the presence of certain phenomena. It asserts that history shows that the relationship between crime and punitiveness is far from simple.

Background/Objective: An abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) strongly correlates with higher mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease however, the inverse link has not been established for cardiovascular (CV) health. The American Heart Association (AHA) aims to improve CV health by 20% by 2020 and has thus proposed the use of CV health metrics (Life’s Simple 7 or LS7). This study examines the relationship of abnormally low ABI with CV health. Methods: We evaluated 5,308 men and women aged ≥40 years, without history of CVD or diabetes mellitus (DM), participating in NHANES from 1999-2004. Abnormally low ABI was defined as ABI< 1.00 which included borderline low [0.91-0.99] and low ABI [<=0.90]). LS7 was scored on a 0-14 point scale and calculated based on poor, intermediate and ideal categories of 7 health components: diet, BMI, smoking, physical activity, blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol. LS7 scores were categorized as inadequate (0-7points), average (8-11) and optimum (12-14) CV health. Ordinal logistic regression models identified associations between abnormal ABI and CV health, with adjustments for sex, age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and hs-CRP. Results: The mean (95% CI) LS7 score was 7.4 (7.3-7.5), with the majority of the population (75.3%) clustered at the lower end of average CV health. Adjusted models demonstrated that, compared to those with inadequate CV health, those with average CV health experienced 28% lower odds of abnormal ABI (OR 0.72, 95% CI; 0.52-0.97). Further improving CV health from inadequate to optimum was associated with 78% lower odds of abnormal ABI (OR 0.22, 95% CI; 0.09-0.57). On examining individual components, only blood pressure was found to be significantly associated with lower odds of abnormal ABI. Those with intermediate, as compared to poor, blood pressure readings showed 32% lower odds of abnormal ABI (OR 0.68, 95% CI; 0.48-0.94) while those with ideal blood pressure showed a 61% lower odds of abnormal ABI (OR 0.39, 95% CI; 0.21-0.72). Discussion/Conclusion: Although those with average CV health experienced lower odds of abnormal ABI, improving CV health to optimum can significantly lower these odds. This suggests that optimizing cardiovascular health, particularly in those who have not yet been affected by CVD or DM, can significantly slow or prevent progression of systemic atherosclerosis.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between emotions, thoughts with anger and aggression. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Vocational School of a university. A total of 238 students participated in this study. The data collection tools of the study are sociodemographic data form, Buss-Perry aggression scale, trait anger and anger expression style scales. The study of descriptive statistical results of data were calculated with arithmetic mean, standard deviation, number, percentage. In determining the factors affecting the average of aggression and anger score were calculated independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal Wallis variance analysis. In the analysis, the obtained p value less than 0.05 was accepted as significant difference. Results: The smoking, family income, family verbal violence and family history of violence were found to be significant in predicting the anger score. The mean scores of anger subscale scores were significantly higher in the students who had high risk taking behaviors, who did not understand her and who did not agree and disagreed, thought that who thinks life is meaningless and looking hopeless for the future that students (p <0.016). The mean score of physical aggression was significantly higher in male students (p <0.0001). The scores of aggression subscale scores were significantly higher in the students who were smoking, had verbal violence between their parents, had a childhood history of violence, their parents had been violent in childhood, had a history of aggressive behavior, and who reported depressive mood in the last year (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, ıt was found that anger and aggression were found to be high and risky behaviors along with family and friend relationships were an important in young people.

Background: Psoriasis is associated with psychosocial distress. Little is known about the relationship between psoriasis and mental health (MH) emergencies. Objective: To examine the associations of psoriasis and MH hospitalizations in the USA. Methods: Data from the 2002–2012 National Inpatient Sample were analyzed, including an approximately 20% sample of all US hospitalizations (n = 87,053,155 children and adults). Results: Hospitalization for MH disorders occurred more commonly in those with psoriasis compared to those without psoriasis (4.04 vs. 2.21%). In multivariable logistic regression models, psoriasis was associated with higher odds of admission for any MH disorder overall (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.32 [2.24–2.41]), as well as 9 of the 15 MH-specific disorders examined. Associated MH disorders included: anxiety, schizophrenia, personality disorder, depression, substance use disorders, history of MH disorder, alcohol-related disorders, adjustment disorders, and cognitive disorders. Children with versus those without psoriasis were also more likely to have a primary hospitalization for any MH disorder (2.82 [2.24–3.56]). Psoriasis inpatients were also more likely to have a primary hospitalization for any MH disorder compared to those with alopecia areata (1.99 [1.45–2.74]) or hidradenitis suppurativa (3.97 [3.49–4.52]). Psoriasis patients hospitalized with any MH disorder had higher mean [95% confidence interval] cost of inpatient care (USD 11,004 [10,846–11,241] vs. 9,547 [8,730–10,364]; p < 0.0001) compared to those without psoriasis, with USD 1,610,860 excess costs annually, with the majority of the costs coming from depression and mood disorders. Conclusions: Children and adults with psoriasis had increased hospitalization for multiple MH disorders, which were associated with a considerable financial burden.

Bystander Behaviors

Preliminary research has demonstrated the utility of bystander interventions in reducing sexual assault (Coker et al., 2011; Moynihan & Banyard, 2008), and initial research has begun extending this type of intervention to dating violence broadly (i.e., physical and psychological aggression). However, there are many unexplored factors that may increase or decrease the likelihood that individuals will engage in bystander behavior. One such factor is previous experiences with dating violence and sexual assault. Thus, this study examined prior dating violence and sexual assault experiences and endorsement of bystander behaviors in a large sample of college students (N = 2,430). We hypothesized that individuals with a history of dating and sexual assault victimization would be more likely to report engaging in bystander behaviors relative to nonvictims. The relationship between prior dating violence perpetration on bystander behavior was also explored. Results demonstrated that individuals with physical and sexual, but not psychological, victimization histories reported more frequent bystander behavior. Furthermore, perpetrators of physical violence were more likely than nonperpetrators to report bystander behavior, particularly among females. Findings provide preliminary evidence that prior experiences with dating violence and sexual assault may impact bystander behavior. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT: This paper shows that religious violence is a reality that characterizes the history of mankind. The inter-religious violence became a regular phenomenon that is often encountered in Indonesian society. Therefore, this paper will examine the causes of inter-religious violence in Indonesia, especially the relationship between Muslims and Christians. This paper will also show the task of the church in preventing inter-religious violence by promoting and applying hospitality. It does not mean that the church is the most responsible side for the violence, but the church is a part and become a witness of the history of violence that has occurred.
