Wrangham argues that humankind became selfdomesticated and less reactively aggressive around the time it became Homo sapiens and lays out how conditions could have changed for that to happen.

The analysis of domestic violence in any of its manifestations is recurrent in the world, not because it is recent, but because there is greater conscience of its reach. The veil that impeded for a long time “to access” to that “private” space that generates high social costs, has begun to be drawn. It can be physical or mental and happens in all social classes, cultures and ages; tends to become common through violent behaviors that are not punished. Cuba doesn’t escape to that reality, even though the social project contributes to banish many of the factors that determine the violence agains...

This paper studies the effect of increased female empowerment on domestic violence. I use individual level data from high-quality Swedish administrative registers on women's relative earnings and hospital visits relating to assault. With this third-party reported violence measure, I overcome the issue of selective under-reporting of violence. I first show that the raw relationship between female empowerment and domestic violence is U-shaped, and that the sign of the association differs depending on which spouse is the main breadwinner of the household. However, the U-shape does not depict a ca...

Logistic and linear regression...

“...

As one of the few men attending the RSM’s conference on domestic violence with Dr Golding, I have no quarrel with his summary of what was presented by the speakers (June 2002 JRSM1). The point where I differ with what he has presented concerns the things that were not said but needed to be said at this meeting. Anyone attending this conference fresh to the subject of domestic violence would have left with the belief that this age-old phenomenon was almost exclusively what men do to women and children. In the western world today, nothing could be further from the truth. There is a large body of...

AJN September 2009 Vol. 109, No. 9 ajnonline.com CRAZY ADVERTISING I am a psychiatric advanced practice nurse. In the July issue of AJN, the inside back cover had a full-page color ad for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, accusing the psychiatric profession of deception. This organization is an offshoot of the Church of Scientology, and its message has no place in a respected journal. The ad is incorrect, misleading, and slanderous to every nurse working with the mentally ill. I’m astonished that you allowed it to be printed. As a nurse and a prescriber of psychiatric medications, I ask...

ABSTRACT As our communities and families are faced with the growing problem of violence, more information is needed as to what women in abusive relationships see as challenges that prevent or delay leaving. To address the issue in the brief therapeutic environment, 14 women in counseling for abuse agreed to participate in three task groups and were asked to identify and rank-order the challenges they faced that could prevent them from leaving. Group one included women who had a desire to leave but were not sure they could. Group two consisted of women working on a case plan but who still had c...

Domestic violence, a serious and far-reaching social problem, has generated two key debates among researchers. The first debate is about gender and domestic violence. Some scholars argue that domestic violence is primarily male-perpetrated, others that women are as violent as men in intimate relationships. Johnson's response to this debate - and the central theme of this book - is that there is more than one type of intimate partner violence. Some studies address the type of violence that is perpetrated primarily by men, while others are getting at the kind of violence that women are involved ...

The usual belief is that domestic violence is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women. Results from the IsssA 1996/97, in which partnered men and women were questioned about committing or suffering physical domestic violence in the last 12 months, show that women and men were equally likely to suffer injuries of about the same severity. There was some evidence of intergenerational transmission of violent behaviour both from father to son and mother to daughter. However, most respondents who admitted violence did not claim to have had violent parents.

Over the past 50 years, Colombian society has experienced a violent conflict between government forces and right-wing paramilitary groups on the one hand, and left-wing guerrilla groups on the other. Moreover, a high proportion of women in Colombia are victims of domestic violence. The present study examines whether there is a correlation between the conflict and violence against women. The findings indicate that the more intense the conflict, the greater the risk of women falling prey to domestic violence.

["This study sought to expand the predictive power of the intergenerational transmission model of spousal family violence by including variables derived from attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969, 1973, 1980) with those derived from social learning theory (Bandura, 1969, 1977, 1986). Social learning theory has been the major theoretical underpinning to the study of how the enactment of family violence in contemporary relationships is influenced by violence learned in the family of origin. With the addition of variables from attachment theory (measures of separation, loss, and erratic caregiving) to ...

Abstract:Processes of sociosexual geo-racialization consistently render Latinas in the U.S. vulnerable to domestic abuse. Engaging this issue, third space feminists have adapted testimonio as a means for exposing domestic abuse while striving to craft transformative discourses that humanize these women’s experiences of oppression. The dusmic nature of poetry, as defined by Nuyorican poets, lends itself to this task. “Violent Effects” synthesizes poetry’s dusmic nature with third space feminists’ development of testimoniando—or testimonio as an agentic process—to identify how María Luisa Arroyo...
