Abstract:

This thesis explores, and seeks an historical interpretation of, representations of women both as victims and perpetrators of crime in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Moving beyond how criminal offences were defined, perceived and disciplined, the analysis highlights their broader social and cultural contexts and effects. Focusing primarily on media accounts and literary narratives of "sensational" and serious cases, it argues that the treatment of crimes of spousal murder, sexual violence and infanticide can be read for cultural and political meanings. At a time when the technol

Abstract:

Since the 1970s there has been an abundance of research regarding theories and effects of domestic violence. However, feminist researchers have suggested that since the majority of this research is based upon the accounts of female victims or professionals, the voice of the male perpetrators has not yet been significantly heard. There is a growing body of literature concerning the accounts of male perpetrators of domestic violence and the ways in which they construct their violence. To date, all of this research has been undertaken using an interview methodology and in arguably 'Western' conte

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding on how Swedish media describes intimate partner violence from a social constructionist perspective. This was done by analysing the way this violence is projected in three Swedish newspapers namely Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter & Expressen. Our study focused on heterosexual relationships and investigated how some sample of Swedish newspapers described the image of “men and women as perpetrators; gender construction”, “the presentation of the violence” and “the way society treats intimate partner violence victims (male/female)”.

Abstract:

The eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been described as the ‘rape capital of the world’ due to the severity and brutality of sexual violence that Congolese women experience. Sexual violence as a weapon of war in conflict-torn areas takes the form of rape, sexual slavery and the insertion of objects into cavities (such as knives, rifle barrels, pieces of glass, sticks, wood, bottles and pestles coated in chili pepper). It predominantly targets girls as young as two years old and women as old as eighty years old. Perpetrators of such illegal and immoral acts of violence

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to examine how female violence against men expresses itself. In addition the intent is to investigate how this is explained and described in society as well as how social efforts are designed towards male victims. Additionally the aim is to examine why men’s violence against women is more attentive than the opposite. The method used in this essay is a literature review constituted by previous research and reports. This essay suggests that men and women are exposed to domestic violence in the same extent but the violence differ between the genders. Men are more likely t
