Download or read book Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide written by Donna J. King and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States and most parts of the world, law, policy, policing, and prevention work addressing domestic and intimate partner violence is created and enacted based on a violence model. Likewise, it is generally believed that all victims of intimate partner homicide are victims of intimate partner violence, through physical abuse, prior to the incident of homicide, and that this violence is reported beforehand. Voices of Intimate Partner Homicide takes a critical look at these misconceived notions and sheds light on multiple non-violent forms of controlling behavior that precipitate intimate partner homicide. The book bases its critical examination on a content analysis of court-filed Petitions for Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence. Through these records, as well as corresponding police and homicide reports, the accounts of the victims, and their relationships with their offenders, come to life. Recurring coercive control tactics are coded and analyzed across multiple accounts, including intimidation, isolation, and humiliation, to illustrate the ways in which individuals are threatened prior to homicide and the true extent of harm that happens in the absence of physical violence. Considering the victim’s responses, as well as their interaction with law enforcement and the court system prior to their death, the author challenges current legal and policy initiatives made to address and protect victims from intimate partner violence and argues that non-violent controlling behaviors deserve more attention in lethality risk assessments that are utilized throughout the United States. For practitioners, advocates, researchers, and students, this book provides an intimate and important account of the causes and consequences of intimate partner violence prior to homicide and a rare window into the victim’s overall experience.

Download or read book A Study of Intimate Partner Homicide with and Without Stalking written by Cari J. Robins and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner homicide (IPH) are major social, mental health, and law enforcement problems. Risk factors for IPH and IPV include prior acts of domestic violence, access to firearms, previous threats, substance abuse, recent separation from the partner, psychiatric disorders, jealousy, and having a child not biologically the offender's. The Dangerous Assessment (DA) -- an instrument that has been utilized by clinicians and law enforcement officers to assess the risk of lethality for women in a domestic situation -- does not consider stalking to be a major risk factor. Since stalking is often found in many IPV and IPH cases the role of stalking and its value as a risk factor in cases of IPH require further study. In a comparison of IPH cases where stalking behaviors were present, to those in which they were absent, several significant differences were found; specifically, stalkers who killed were more likely to be in separated, non-marital relationships, had a history of substance abuse, expressed jealousy of the victim's new relationship, and the victim had threatened to leave the relationship. Implications of these findings for mental health professionals and law enforcement officers are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a parent ever truly recover from the loss of a child? What if this child was forcibly taken away from you? How can these parents and families find resolution knowing that these loved ones were victims of violent crime? In the American justice system, the prosecuted are allowed to speak in their own defense, but the murdered victims have no one to speak for them. The only time the courts hear from the victim's side is from a letter written by the victim's parents. When do these silenced voices get a chance to speak? Patricia Goebel explains that We Are Their Voices. Whether it's contacting the prosecutor's office for news, holding candlelight vigils and attending grief counseling sessions or contributing to causes in their honor. There is no one else and no one better qualified to be the voice of their loved ones. This heart-rending compilation gives firsthand accounts from loved ones of homicide victims. Some of these victims were innocent bystanders, while the reason for others- murders will never be known for certain. These parents share their experiences with overcoming their grief while attempting to explain the flaws in the justice system with regard to homicide cases. "We Are Their Voices should be mandatory reading for every law student, prosecutor, and judge." -Rich Pompelio, Executive Director of New Jersey Crime Victims Law Center

Overcoming Conflicting Loyalties examines the intersection of faith and culture in the lives of religious and ethno-cultural women in the context of the work of FaithLink, a unique community initiative that encourages religious leaders and secular service providers to work together.

Individuals in secular and sacral services who work with victims of domestic violence, as well as academics in the fields of social work, psychology, and religious studies, will benefit from the insights, depth of experience, and range of voices represented in this valuable book.

Download or read book Killing Kate written by Kate Ranta and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2012 Kate Ranta and her father used their combined strength to brace themselves against the front door of her home, as her estranged husband, an Air Force Major, tried to force his way inside. For years he had been verbally and emotionally abusive, but never caused physical harm. Until the unthinkable happened. In a rage he fired bullets through the door from a 9mm Beretta, shooting Kate and her father. Their 4-year-old son stood paralyzed as he witnessed the horrific event. Reading like a real-life horror-thriller, Killing Kate details episodes of her husband's deranged mind games and twisted actions which threaten her sanity and safety. It serves as a cautionary flag critical of the ways the police and legal system failed to protect her -- including the court's denial of three restraining order requests before the shooting. And, it serves as a rallying cry for women to come together, support each other in knowing the danger signs, exit potentially violent and abusive relationships, and avoid entering into them in the first place. Kate's story and book are essential reading in the fight against domestic and gun violence."--

Download or read book What Trouble I Have Seen written by David Peterson del Mar and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1869 and Sarah Moses, with "a very black eye," told her father: The world will never know what trouble I have seen. What she'd seen was violence at the hands of her husband. Does the world know any more of such things today than it did in Sarah's time? Sarah, it so happens, lived in Oregon, that Edenic state on the Pacific Coast, and it is here that David Peterson del Mar centers his history of violence against wives. What causes such violence? Has it changed over time? How does it relate to the state of society as a whole? And how have women tried to stop it, resist it, escape it? These are the questions Peterson del Mar pursues, and the answers he finds are as fascinating as they are disturbing. Thousands of thickly documented divorce cases from the Oregon circuit courts let us listen to voices who often go unheard. These are the people who didn't keep diaries or leave autobiographies, who sometimes could not write at all. Here they speak of a society that quietly condoned wife beating until the spread of an ethos of self-restraint in the late nineteenth century. And then, Peterson del Mar finds, the practice increased with a vengeance with the florescence of expressive individualism during the twentieth century. What Trouble I Have Seen also traces a dramatic shift in wives' response to their husbands' violence. Settler and Native American women commonly fought abusive mates. Most wives of the late nineteenth century acted more cautiously and relied on others for protection. But twentieth-century privatism, Peterson del Mar discovers, often isolated modern wives from family and neighbors, casting abused women on the mercy of the police, women's shelters, and, most important, their own resources. Thus a new emphasis on self-determination, even as it stimulated violence among men, enhanced the ability of women to resist and escape violent husbands. The first sustained history of violence toward wives, What Trouble I Have Seen offers remarkable testimony to the impact of social trends on the most private arrangements, and the resilience of women subject to a seemingly timeless crime.
Download or read book The Legacy He Left Me written by Lovern J Gordon and published by Paperclip Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic Violence Awareness Memoir. Lovern grew up in Trinidad, watching father brutally abuse her mother. Migrating to States, she fell into abusive relationship of her own for 2yrs. After escaping, she later created a foundation to help victims, despite legacy of abuse left by her father. The clinical term was brought to life for Lovern Gordon as she grew up on the island of Trinidad in the 1980s. Her mother, affectionately dubbed Mummy, suffered mental and physical abuse at the hands of her emotionally detached father, Lloydie. Lovern, her younger siblings, and Mummy were able to migrate to the United States in the late 1990s.. Even thought she vowed she would never become a victim, based on what she witnessed as a child, a sinister romantic partner would repeat the trauma of Lovern's past in her own adult relationship. Rising from the ashes of these two severe domestic violence situations, Lovern went on to establish her own awareness foundation in 2011. Through her advocacy work at Love Life Now, she educates the masses around the issue of abuse, as well as how to become part of the solution and provides resources to victims and survivors. The organization helps victims thrive after leaving toxic situations, just like Lovern now thrives everyday thanks to her strength, positivity, and perseverance, despite the legacy of abuse left by her father.
