'n Kwalitatiewe ondersoek na huweliksgeweld teenoor wit Suid-Afrikaanse mansRautenbach, Etienne Aubrey 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation looks at husbands as victims of family violence at the hands of their
spouses. Four white Afrikaans speaking persons from Pretoria were interviewed in case
studies focusing on the problem of husband abuse. During the interviews use was made of
an interview schedule based on contemporary theoretical explanations for the
phenomenon. Three of the participants were white males who elaborated on their own
experiences as victims of marital violence. A fourth participant was a white female who
elaborated on her father’s experiences as a victim of marital violence.
The taped recordings of the interviews were transcribed and a data set developed by using
AtlasTi. The data set was used to construct the social worlds of men as victims of marital
violence by focusing on eight categories: definitions of violence, frequency of violence,
causes of violence, violent insidents, effects of violence, disintegration of the relationship,
remaining in a violent relationship and men and women’s propensity for violence.
The data set was further used to examine the contemporary theoretical explanations for
family violence at the micro, meso and macro levels. Regarding the micro level constructs,
there seems to be application value for the psychobiological and psychodynamic
perspectives. The victim theory does not seem to have much apllication value.
With regard to the meso level constructs, it seems as if stress theory and traumatic bonding
theory, exchange/social control theory and social learning theory may be useful in
explaining marital violence. Power theory and resource theory, in an amended form, may
also be of value. The application of conflict theory seems problematic since it is not clear
whether violence leads to isolation or vice versa. Regarding the macro level analysis, it seems as though the culture of violence theory and
the subculture of violence theory have strong application value. General systems theory is
difficult to apply, but theoretically specific questions to the participants brought to light that
support networks for male victims are inadequate or even absent. The patriarchal feminist
theory seems to have no apllication value seeing that three of the main assumptions of this
theory collapsed. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif kyk na getroude mans as slagoffers van gesinsgeweld aan die hand van
hul vroue. Onderhoude is gevoer met vier wit Afrikaanssprekende persone van Pretoria in
gevallestudies met die fokus op die probleem van eggenoot-misbruik. Gedurende die
onderhoude is gebruik gemaak van ‘n onderhoudskedule wat gebaseer is op kontemporêre
teoretiese verduidelikings vir die verskynsel. Drie van die deelnemers was blanke mans
wat uitgebrei het oor hul eie ervarings as slagoffers van huweliksgeweld. ‘n Vierde
deelnemer was ‘n blanke vrou wat uitgebrei het op haar vader se ondervindings van
huweliksgeweld.
Die bandopnames van die onderhoude is getranskribeer en ‘n datastel ontwikkel deur
gebruik te maak van AtlasTi. Die datastel is gebruik om die sosiale wêrelde van mans, as
slagoffers van huweliksgeweld, te konstrueer deur te fokus op agt kategorieë:
geweldsomskrywings, geweldsfrekwensie, geweldsoorsake, geweldsinsidente,
geweldseffek, verhoudingsdisintegrasie, aanbly in die geweldsverhouding en mans en
vroue se geneigdheid tot geweld.
Die data is verder gebruik om die kontemporêre teoretiese verduidelikings vir gesinsgeweld
op die mikro-, meso- en makrovlakke mee te eksamineer. Onder die mikrovlak-konstrukte
skyn daar sterk toepassingsmoontlikhede te wees vtr die psigo-biologiese en psigodinamiese
perspektiewe. Die blameer-die -slagoffer-perspektief skyn nie veel
toepassingswaarde te hê nie.
Onder die mesovlak-konstrukte blyk stresteorie en traumatiese bindingsteorie, ruil-/sosiale
beheerteorie en sosiale leerteorie bruikbaar te wees in die verklaring van
huweliksgeweld. Magsteorie en hulpbronteorie kan ook van waarde wees.
Die toepassing van konflikteorie skyn problematies te wees, want dit is nie seker of die
geweld lei tot isolasie van die gesin of omgekeerd nie. Wat die makrovlak-konstrukte aanbetref blyk geweldskultuurteorie en die subkultuur van
geweldsteorie ook sterk toepassingsmoontlikhede te hê. Algemene sisteemteorie is moeilik
toepasbaar, maar teoreties-spesifieke vrae aan die deelnemers het aan die lig gebring dat
ondersteuningsnetwerke vir manslagoffers gebrekkig of selfs afwesig is. Die patriargale
feministiese teorie skyn geen toepassingswaarde te hê nie aangesien die drie
hoofaannames van hierdie teorie platval.

Management of domestic violence: risk-based assessment and intervention guidelines with perpetrators of intimate violence.Londt, Marcel P January 2004 (has links)
The main goal of this study was to develop assessment and intervention guidelines that will provide practitioners with a framework to develop and implement batterer intervention programmes. The development of batterer intervention programmes must be informed by risk-based assessment and the study has identified this as a priority. This priority was informed by the popular notions that batterer intervention by itself, is futile and that intervention efforts were misdirected and useless. The author was of the opinion that if specific risk markers were identified, the batterer intervention efforts could be a tool to influence the values, beliefs and dangerous behaviours of abusive men. This study attempted to formally identify those risk factors that should be considered with batterers so that appropriate guidelines for assessment and intervention could result.

Lived experiences of women staying in physically abusive relationshipsJack, Kopano Mcduff 11 1900 (has links)
Women are more at risk of experiencing violence involving people at home or close acquaintances,
than from virtual strangers and outsiders. Domestic violence affects as many as one in two women in
South Africa. Most women may keep secret abusive relationships and this might reside in a
deep-seated fear of further abuse or as be frowned upon by a community that endorses social taboos
which prohibit speaking about or even implying the reality of incidents of domestic violence. This
phenomenological study investigates the actual experiences of women staying in physically abusive
relationships. In this study a qualitative approach, involving thorough research, are presentation
has been adopted in order to discuss, in a meaningful
manner, the suffering of women who have experienced physically abusive relationships. The
participants in the study include eight women who have been involved and suffered physically
abusive relationship and these, living in Pretoria and suburbs, comprise an age category ranging
from between twenty five to fifty. Data gathered and utilised has been accumulated by means of
semi-structured open ended interviews. Hermeneutic phenomenological analysis was used to analyse
and come to a conclusion regarding the data obtainable. The findings of the study have highlighted
the role played by power and control, gender inequality and patriarchy experienced by women
involved in these intimate relationships. The study further revealed the complexities surrounding
the reasons and motives contributing to women staying in and suffering physically abusive
relationships / Psychology / M. A. (Psychology: Research consultation)

Examining the social, religious and cultural discourses on "maleness" and its possible influence on domestic violence in South Africa: A critique of some expressions of evangelical theology.Owino, Kennedy Onyango. January 2009 (has links)
My journey in writing this dissertation has been both intellectually and emotionally challenging keeping in mind firstly that I am a male scholar (an “outsider”) responding to issues related to maleness, the abuse and oppression of women. Secondly, that I have a personal “sacred story” of the effects of abuse and violence in the home where I grew up; and thirdly, that am strongly a conservative evangelical by faith. However, these three aspects interplay in contributing to my motivation of seeking for a mended world especially for professing Christian women within the evangelical context.
The focus of this study is: Examining the social, religious and cultural discourses on “maleness” and its possible influence on domestic violence in South Africa: A critique of some expressions of evangelical theology. The study argues that the predominant social, religious and cultural discourses portray some expressions of evangelical theology. It maintains that our distorted perceptions of God (how we have imagined God as “male”)—hence maleness, has influenced male paradigm of domination among partners. As a result, this has possibly influenced and contributed to domestic violence (DV), abuse and oppression of women within some evangelical context in South Africa. Hence, the prevalence of abuse and oppression of women in the evangelical context, the battle for the humanity and dignity of women as human beings created in God’s image and that female and male are equal in God are motivations that made me pursue this study.
Having evaluated the theology and the inherited evangelical traditions, it becomes certain that transformative praxis that counteracts abusive and oppressive ideologies against women among evangelicals is imperative. To achieve this, the study has used an already published case study on interviews conducted among Christian women in the Full Gospel Church (FGC) in Phoenix, Durban. This has been used to facilitate theological observations. In seeking to answer its research question the dissertation examines and critiques the predominant discourses portrayed as some expressions of evangelical theology in chapters four, five and six as analysed from the said case study. The study achieves this purpose by engaging a theological reflection as its methodology through applying a “feminist theology of praxis” as its theoretical framework. Hence, the study proposes alternative evangelical theological discourses and resources for transformative praxis as its focus. The findings are tentative and require future empirical research.
Arguing that “Theological statements contain as much truth as they deliver practically in transforming reality” (Sölle quoted in Ackermann 1996:42), the dissertation concludes with addressing the implications of this study by proposing practical ways for transforming men, aiming at deconstructing abusive and oppressive male paradigms. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.

Battered women in Muslim communities in the Western Cape : religious constructions of gender, marriage, sexuality and violenceShaikh, Sa'diyya January 1996 (has links)
Bibliography: pages 204-228. / Historically Muslim women have been marginalised in the examination of Islamic texts and Muslim society. This has resulted in the non-recognition and silencing of women's perspectives as well as the concealment of some of the traumatic realities experienced by groups of Muslim women. Exacerbated by pervading social and religious notions of "private" families, the incidence of wife battery within Muslim societies have been largely hidden violence against wives is seen as the manifestation of a sexist and patriarchal ideology. This study examines the manner in which Islamic gender discourses inform and impact upon the phenomenon of violence against women. The related tensions between patriarchal and egalitarian Islamic perspectives are explored. This study involves a two-fold feminist analysis of gender ideology in religious texts and contemporary Muslim society. At the level of textual studies, I applied a feminist hermeneutic to medieval and contemporary Qur'anic exegetical literature. The examination of medieval period focused on the exegesis of Abu Jafar Muhumammad b. Jarir al-Tabari (839-922), Abu al-Qasim Mahmud b. Umar Zamakshari (1075-1144), Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149- 1210). The study of contemporary exegetical literature concentrated on the approaches and exegeses of Fazlur Rahman and Amina Wadud-Muhsin. Hermeneutical debates on violence against wives were focused on the interpretations of the Qur'anic notion of female nushuz (Q.4:34). In examining contemporary Muslim society, I employed feminist qualitative research methodology. I interviewed a number of women from a South African Muslim community in the Western Cape. Here, the sample consisted of eight women with whom open-ended in-depth interviews were conducted. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed. I found that interweaving levels of religious symbols and discourses shaped normative understandings of gender relations. This in turn had implications for both structural and practical discourses of violence against women in Muslim societies. Islamic gender ideology spanned the continuum from patriarchal to feminist approaches. Misogynist religious understandings reinforced the husband's right to control and coerce his wife, even if this implied the use of force. On the other hand, egalitarian Islamic perspectives prioritised the Qur'anic ethics of equality and social justice and rejected the violation of women. I argue that Islam provides numerous resources for the pro-active empowerment of women and the promotion of the full humanity of women.

An analysis of violence towards educators in the selected high schools : a case study of South African Police ServiceMoreroa, Matilu Christina January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (M. A. (Criminology and Criminal Justice)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / The purpose of this study was to analyse violence towards educators in the selected high schools in the Mankweng policing area. This was done by identifying factors contributing to school violence, assessing consequences of violence on victims of violence and determining measures that can be applied to effectively prevent, combat and investigate this scourge.
This qualitative study applied the explanatory research design to recruit participants using non-probability sampling techniques, specifically purposive and snowball sampling respectively. Eighteen (18) participants were selected for this study, comprising of Six (06) educators from each of the Three (03) selected high schools of Mankweng policing area. Data were collected using semi-structured face-to-face interviews and documentary studies. Based on the transcribed data, themes were extracted and analysed using inductive Thematic Content Analysis (TCA).
This study established that there are factors that contribute to the occurrence of school violence; victims are affected by school violence (I.e. Be it social, psychological and physical); and that there are measures that may reduce the occurrence of these violence. Findings of the research indicate that factors such as demographic location, substance abuse, peer pressure, gang groups are the causes of violence, leading to victims facing consequences such as depression, anxiety attacks and early retirement. For recommendations, this study provides that the community get involved in reducing school violence, the DBE should provide pro-active and re-active measures to combat violence, enforce a strong collaboration between stakeholders and enforce legislative framework implemented about workplace safety.
