| dc.description.notes | Reports on the results and methodology of a US study that sought to explore the question of whether victims of abuse and batterers use violence for the same motivations and with equal frequency, through a series of interviews with criminal justice and social service professionals. The capacity of the criminal justice and social service systems to recognise the context and the quality of violent incidents is discussed and the research findings outlined around three themes: reasons given for women’s violence; men and the system’s potential for ‘backlash’ or manipulation; and specific problems with the criminal justice system. Suggests there is a need for issues of self-defence and gendered power dynamics to be recognised if criminalisation is to help, rather than penalise, women. A more contextual understanding of violence needs to be developed within legal and other institutions. | en |
