- 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 1992, the Tamil Nadu State government in India began to introduce all-women police stations whose primary role is to deal with crimes against women, including family violence and dowry disputes. Dowry giving is a customary practice in India, which often results in disputes between young wives and their new families. As a result, the young women may be subjected to physical and mental ill treatment. Using detailed data from 474 case records and interviews with 60 dowry victims, this study examines how women police stations serve as a dispute processing system, and describes the services extended by the stations to the victims of dowry disputes.

- Slachtofferrapportage en politierapportage wat betreft arrestatie en veroordeling wegens mishandelen van vrouwen worden vergeleken om na te gaan of er verschillen zijn. Overeenstemming over het feit dat geen arrestatie of veroordeling had plaatsgevonden bleek relatief hoog, terwijl overeenstemming over het feit dat er een arrestatie of veroordeling had plaatsgevonden zeer laag was.

- 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
- The effects of arrest in domestic violence have been debated since Professor Lawrence Sherman et al. published their widely cited empirical studies in the 1980s and early 1990s. These studies, however, focused on the perpetrator and did not consider the effects of arrest on the victim's willingness to report repeat violence to the police. In this article, the author argues that the effect of arresting the perpetrator on the behavior of the victim is a crucial factor in determining the overall effectiveness of arrest. It is likely that the arrest of the perpetrator deters violence, but it is equally possible that it encourages the victim to call the police in repeat incidents of violence. This article presents a rereading of the empirical studies. It argues that the effect of arrest on the victim should have been taken more seriously in the research design. It also suggests that a more convincing interpretation of the results is achieved when the victim is taken into account.

- The author argues for exposing judges to outsider literature - novels, short stories, and poetry - in order to improve their understanding of domestic violence. This exposure will help judges reduce their reliance on stereotypes, deepen the questions they ask themselves and others, and respond in a more just and effective manner to victims of abuse.

- Description
- Aan de hand van politierapporten van 1535 vrouwelijke slachtoffers van geweld binnen relaties wordt gekeken wat een slachtoffer er toe brengt aangifte bij de politie te doen. Dit wordt onderzocht aan de hand van verschillende reacties van de politie en de waarschijnlijkheid dat arrestatie zal volgen. De politie blijkt eerder tot arrestatie over te gaan wanneer de slachtoffers gewond zijn, de dader geen voorgeschiedenis van geweld heeft en bij incidenten waarin zwarte daders zwarte slachtoffers maken. Ook wordt ingegaan op het `battered woman syndrome'.

- Description
- This paper focuses on the gap which the author's discovered between women's realities of the violence that they face from their abusers and the minimisation, trivialisation, and victim blaming that they so often encounter when they seek protection from the family court and the criminal justice system. 'The gap' is analysed from the perspective of women victims and used to evaluate the law as wel as the policies and procedures which have been adopted by police, judges, and family court counsellors for dealing with spousal violence cases.
