Les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles : vers une perspective intégrative des savoirs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the notion of violence conjugale as "a social grave and persistant problem which enforces le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime".
Abstract: La violence conjugale est un probleme social grave et persistant ; le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime. Cet article vise a discuter des liens empiriques et theoriques entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles. L’article debutera par une breve mise en contexte decrivant comment la violence conjugale s’est construite comme un probleme socio-penal au Quebec. Les principales lacunes des connaissances actuelles dans le domaine seront ensuite identifiees, demontrant ainsi la necessite de mieux comprendre les liens complexes entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles, trois concepts dont les definitions pourraient s’enrichir et se completer mutuellement. Cet article soulignera l’importance de prendre en consideration les realites diversifiees auxquelles sont confrontes les acteurs concernes par ces violences (femmes, hommes et enfants), en privilegiant une analyse globale qui integre non seulement les facteurs individuels et interpersonnels, mais aussi les facteurs sociaux et structurels, notamment les oppressions liees au genre ou a d’autres marqueurs de l’identite sociale. La discussion sera enrichie par des modeles theoriques decrivant les differentes dynamiques de violences conjugales et familiales ainsi que par le feminisme intersectionnel, qui s’avere fort utile pour l’analyse des violences structurelles. La conclusion traitera des retombees potentielles d’une analyse des liens entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles sur les politiques sociales et les programmes d’intervention pour les victimes, les agresseurs et les enfants exposes a la violence conjugale.

TL;DR: The second cycle of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003) as discussed by the authors was released in 2003, and the major findings of the second cycle were presented.
Abstract: This report presents the major findings of the second cycle of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003). In this initiative, data are collected every five years on child maltreatment reported to, and investigated by, child welfare agencies in Canada. The CIS is a collaborative effort of many partners: the federal, provincial and territorial governments; university-based researchers; the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society; child advocacy groups; and most important, child welfare service providers across the country.

TL;DR: The present discourse on symmetry of violence between partners originates in the results of surveys primarily using one type of instrument, the Conflict Tactics Scales (Straus, 1979), and an examination of the critiques that have been formulated and of the justifications given by the authors of the instrument suggests that symmetry is a result of a specific representation of action constructed by the instrument as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The present discourse on symmetry of violence between partners originates in the results of surveys primarily using one type of instrument, the Conflict Tactics Scales (Straus, 1979). An examination of the critiques that have been formulated and of the justifications given by the authors of the instrument suggests that symmetry is a result of a specific representation of action constructed by the instrument. Comparing the protocols and results of four large surveys in Canada, England and the United States, the authors underline the importance of taking into account severity in the measurement of violence. Le theme de la symetrie de la violence dans le couple et les relations amoureuses se fonde sur les enquetes realisees principalement avec un instrument, le Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS) (Straus, 1979) ou d'instruments similaires. L'examen de l'argumentation methodologique du CTS signale que celui-ci construit une representation particuliere de Taction violente basee exclusivement sur le geste physique. A partir d'une comparaison des plus importantes enquetes nationales sur le sujet, cet article soutient l'importance d'une mesure de la violence qui tienne compte de la gravite des situations.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted with 111 abused women and their children aged 6 to 12 years, where an indicator of physical health and a score of psychological distress were used to measure mothers' health.
Abstract: Mothers' health and quality of mother-child relationship are often held as factors that predict the adaptation of children exposed to domestic violence, but the connection between these factors has not been analysed yet. This study verifies if mothers' health has a mediator or a moderator effect on the connection between domestic violence and mother-child relationship. The study was conducted with 111 abused women and their children aged 6 to 12 years. An indicator of physical health and a score of psychological distress were used to measure mothers' health. The mother-child relationship was evaluated from both the mother's and the child's perspective. The results show that the 2 indicators of mother's health have no mediator effect, but have a moderator effect when the mother-child relationship was evaluated by children themselves. The discussion underlines the importance of mother's health as a protective factor for mother-child relationship and the incidence of this result for intervention. The interest of having multiple informants is also underlined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether exposure to intimate partner violence affects male and female youths differently and found that male witnesses are more likely to develop externalizing behaviors and females are more than twice as likely to suffer from internalizing disorders.
Abstract: Youth who are exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) between their parents may be at increased risk for a multitude of behavioral and emotional problems, including mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and internalizing symptoms (Fergusson & Horwood, 1998; Finkelhor, Ormond, & Turner, 2009; Graham-Bermann, DeVoe, Mattis, Lynch, & Thomas, 2006; Zinzow et al., 2009). Research also suggests that males and females may react differently to being exposed to parental violence, although most of the findings in this area are mixed with regard to mental health outcomes. For instance, some evidence suggests that male witnesses are more likely to develop externalizing behaviors and females are more likely to suffer from internalizing disorders (Clements, Oxtoby, & Ogle, 2008; Kennedy, Bybee, Sullivan, & Greeson, 2010; Moylan et al., 2010; Yates, Dodds, Sroufe, & Egeland, 2003), whereas other studies have found that girls exposed to IPV are more likely than boys to demonstrate externalizing problems such as anger (Sigfusdottir, Farkas, & Silver, 2004). Yet others have found no gender differences in these outcomes (Fergusson & Horwood, 1998; Kitzmann, Gaylord, Holt, & Kenny, 2003; Sternberg, Baradaran, Abbott, Lamb, & Guterman, 2006). Like most other areas of research, though, the literature regarding exposure to IPV has methodological problems that somewhat weaken the validity of findings and may contribute to the mixed evidence regarding whether exposure to partner violence affects male and female youths differently. One avenue that has very rarely been examined but that may lead to a better understanding of the impact of IPV exposure among youth is whether the gender of the perpetrator (e.g., mother-perpetrated vs. father-perpetrated IPV) elicits differential effects on adolescents' mental health outcomes (e.g., Jankowski, Leitenberg, Henning, & Coffey, 1999). The current study attempts to … Keywords: Juvenile justice Language: en
