- Description
- In this issue on victimization among the family and its direct relations a report of a nation-wide study on domestic violence in the Netherlands. The cooperation of battered women as victims and witnesses is analyzed by examining experiences, opinions and perceptions of experts who deal most closely with batterd women in the United States. Female abusers of children are discussed and the way in which such cases are processed by the criminal justice system. 76 Cases of intimate femicide (killing of women by their intimate male partners) in Israel during 1990 and 1995 are investigated. The findings are put in a theoretical framework which assumes that violence in society will be positively related to stress factors and negatively related to support systems. Also the effects of and the victimization history of women in England and Wales on the likelihood of them receiving at least one obscene or nuisance phone call is being described.

- Description
- In England and Wales two women are killed every week by a current or former partner. One women in four is physically abused during her lifetime. The 2004 Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act has made a new offence of familial homicide, and the Act is designed to cover all violent home incidents, especially if they involve children or vulnerable adults. Programmes for perpetrators which adress violent behaviour and seek to change it are proving invaluable. The focus is also on another issue affecting families, women offenders. New initiative and cash have been made available to stop the cycle of reoffending, with the Home Office's Women's Offending Reduction Programme playing a key role.

- Description
- This article explores the historical influences that shaped the cultural construct operating in the UK, in particular, the societal and legal attitudes of the mid-Victorians towards women and sexual violence, creating an historical mystification around the construct of the female rape victim and the crime of rape itself. Reference is made to a number of cases reported in The Times news-paper between 1850-1885 which underline the requisite portrayal of the rape complainant as an unequivocal victim. It is argued that the relocation of this historical and socially constructed mythological imaginary within the context of the law and the trial process has disproportionately contributed to the modern scepticism which surrounds the female complainant.
