Abstract:

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 resp

Abstract:

This study examines relationship violence among college students, focusing on the predictive roles of their sociodemographic characteristics and domestic violence beliefs. College students experience an extremely high level of abuse among intimate partners, with prevalence rates ranging between 20 and 50%. Since relationship violence among college students is such a widespread problem, it is important to understand what lies at the foundation of this type of abuse. Findings from previous studies demonstrate correlations between sociodemographic characteristics and perpetration of relationship

Abstract:

Over the past few decades, there has been an increased awareness of the co-occurrence of domestic violence (DV) with child maltreatment and criminal offending. This growing awareness of the complexity of violence occurring within families has brought attention to the fragmented nature of the systems that respond to these forms of violence. Specifically, the civil justice system, the criminal justice system, and the welfare system have traditionally operated independently with opposing procedural, professional, and philosophical frameworks. Additionally, the lack of longitudinal population-base

Part one of the thesis reviews the findings of research studies that have explored the relationship between the warmth a mother shows her child, and children’s wellbeing whilst living with domestic violence. The literature discusses possible ways in which maternal warmth affect the child’s psychological and behavioural outcomes in children exposed to domestic violence. Findings showed that lack of maternal warmth is consistently associated with an increase in the development of maladaptive behaviours for children exposed to domestic violence.

The purpose of this study is to examine domestic violence as it occurs in same-sex male relationships. Data were collected by in-depth interviews with twenty-five gay males, who were between the ages of 23 and 43, and who had previous experience being in a homosexual relationship where domestic violence was present. The major findings of this study include the respondents': 1) definitions of domestic violence and abuse; 2) the type of domestic violence or abuse personally experienced; and 3) reasons they believe domestic violence or abuse occurs in these types of relationships.

Abstract:

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 co

The purpose of the present study was to test a specific path model.

Multiple regression procedures were used to test the model. Standardized beta coefficients indicated the strength of the relationships among the variables. Significant findings indicated that the strength of specific relationships among the ten variables (impact of events, three types of primary appraisal,

Abstract:

In the past decade, the increasing prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV) on college and university campuses has been given considerable attention. This abuse, including physical, sexual, emotional, and coercive control, often leads to impairment in victims (Ross, 2017; Straus, Gelles & Steinmetz). While the overall rates of IPV and DV have been relatively well-studied on college campuses, the differential impact of survivor-offender relationship on type of abuse has not been fully examined. As a result, there may be important correlates between survivor-offen

Secondary victimization is the process in which informal (e.g., family, friends, etc.) and formal (e.g., police officer, judges, etc.) supporters re-victimize the victim by questioning the validity of the abuse, excusing the perpetrator, and
