Family Violence: A Canadian Introduction by Julianne Momirov,Ann Duffy Pdf

Family violence is hard for most people to understand. The fact that we are more likely to be killed or assaulted by family members than anyone else seems incredible. Yet for many Canadians the family is a dangerous place, far from the haven of love and security that we would like to believe. In this book, sociologists Julianne Momirov and Ann Duffy explore the many forms that violence can take, from physical abuse to emotional deprivation. The victims, the theories, and the factors increasing risk are all clearly presented. Policies and programs which would address this issue -- from personal intervention to institutional reforms -- are also outlined. This new edition incorporates up-to-date statistical information on the prevalence of family violence. It reports on recent initiatives to find more successful ways to respond to the needs of victims and to rehabilitate the perpetrators. This is the definitive Canadian book for anyone wanting to learn more about this disturbing phenomenon.

Family Violence by Julianne Momirov Pdf

Canadians are more likely to be killed or assaulted by family members than by anyone else. Yet families in all their forms are supposed to be a haven of love and security. What lies behind this contradiction? And what can be done about it? These are questions that sociologist Julianne Momirov explores in Family Violence: A Canadian Introduction. She explains the leading theories of why family violence exists; describes the many and varied forms that violence takes, from the physical to psychological to neglectand proposes policies and programs to address this issue. This Third Edition includes the latest statistical data on this problem. The author addresses the self-identity of survivors, the changing nature of families and relationships today, the unique threats to Indigenous peoples and the elderly, and the role that social media plays in relationship violence.

Cruel but Not Unusual by Ramona Alaggia,Cathy Vine Pdf

Violence in families and intimate relationships affects a significant proportion of the population—from very young children to the elderly—with far-reaching and often devastating consequences. Cruel but Not Unusual draws on the expertise of scholars and practitioners to present readers with the latest research and thinking about the history, conditions, and impact of violence in these contexts. For this new edition, chapters have been updated to reflect changes in data and legislation. New chapters include an examination of trauma from a neurobiological perspective; a critical analysis of the “gender symmetry debate,” a debate that questions the gendered nature of intimate violence; and an essay on the history and evolution of the women’s movement dedicated to addressing violence against women, which advances theoretical developments that remind readers of the breadth of inclusivity that should be at the heart of working in this field.

Family Violence in Canada by Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics Pdf

This report presents the results of a number of activities and projects undertaken by Statistics Canada to identify the nature and extent of violence in Canadian families. For the first time in Canada, detailed information about the prevalence and the circumstances of many forms of violence in the family are available at a national level. Under the renewed Family Violence Initiative announced by the federal government in February 1991, Health Canada requested the assistance of the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) in developing and co-ordinating a number of data collection activities. The overall objective of these activities was to address the need for improved information about family violence and services for victims and offenders. The overall strategy for the collection and analysis of national family violence information was composed of seven activities, the results of which are included in this report. Activities included: a national household survey on violence against women, a national survey of transition homes, a survey to examine cases of child abuse reported to pediatric hospitals, an inventory of residential services for abused women, an inventory of programs for men who batter, a descriptive study of legislation and services provided by provincial child welfare systems, and a project to improve the capacity of provincial information systems to provide criminal justice statistics in this area. This report also includes statistical information about cases of family violence reported to the police, domestic homicides, as well as a descriptive "case study" of the Winnipeg Family Violence Court. The definition of "family violence" that has guided the work of Statistics Canada and used throughout this report was developed under the Federal Family Violence Initiative and includes abuse of children, youth and older persons, and women by their male partners. Abuse can take a number of forms, including physical and sexual assault, intimidation, mental or emotional abuse, neglect, deprivation and financial exploitation. The term "family" refers to a grouping of individuals who are related by affection, kinship, dependency or trust. By using specific criteria and research tools to define and measure family violence, this report shows that violence in the family is a serious social and criminal problem in Canada.

Cruel but Not Unusual by Ramona Alaggia,Cathy Vine Pdf

Violence in families and intimate relationships affects a significant proportion of the population—from very young children to the elderly. Although no one is immune to violence, some groups are particularly vulnerable. Cruel but Not Unusual: Violence in Canadian Families is the first book to offer a national survey of the latest research and practice, and it reflects on the patriarchal roots and societal conditions in Canada that have led to the long-standing abuse of women and children. While feminist theories provide an overarching framework, a broad range of approaches is offered to examine and respond to critical aspects of this serious social problem. Topics include: systemic oppression of Aboriginal families and communities; violence in a francophone minority context; child corporal punishment; abuse in the lives of people with disabilities; the objectification of older adults; mother blaming; intimate violence in same-sex relationships; and new approaches to solving the problem of violence in Canadian families.
