TLDR
In this paper, the authors explored young people's attitudes about gendered interpersonal abuse and violence and young people perceptions of gender roles and specifically "masculinity" and argued that to understand the continued tolerance of male abuse/violence, it is necessary to understand how young people conceptualise the role of women and men within intimate heterosexual relationships.Abstract:
Whilst public awareness campaigns, interventions and legal reforms have done much to challenge gendered interpersonal violence, the incidence and prevalence of this violence is not decreasing. Furthermore, research with young people reveals significant acceptance and tolerance of interpersonal violence if perpetrated by men within the parameters of an intimate heterosexual relationship. Empirical data from a study with young people in Glasgow will be used in this article to explore young people’s attitudes about gendered interpersonal abuse and violence and young people’s perceptions of gender roles and specifically ‘masculinity’. It is argued that in order to understand the continued tolerance of male abuse/violence, it is necessary to appreciate how young people conceptualise the role of women and men within intimate heterosexual relationships.read more

Is Parent Abuse a Form of Domestic Violence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that only by integrating parent abuse into the domestic violence framework will this issue be appropriately addressed, and suggest that conceptual conflicts in defining both concepts, in framing children's safety as subsumed under mothers' safety and the desire to challenge deterministic "cycle of violence" models, may unwittingly have contributed to the failure to address parent abuse in domestic violence field.
