The experiences of children exposed to domestic violenceSiyothula, Evy-Terressah Busisiwe January 2004 (has links)

UNIVERSITY OF ZULULAND, 2004. / This study explores the experiences of children exposed to domestic violence. The aim of the study is to contribute to a better understanding of how domestic violence affects children and to offer them an opportunity to describe their views on how the situation can be improved.
The design used in this study is a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews with nine children between the ages of eight and fourteen years staying at St. Anthony's Children's Home, Blaauwbosch. These children were taken away from their homes as a result of domestic violence. The interviews were audiotape and transcribed verbatim for each participant. The data was then categorized, coded and analyzed in order to discover common and unique themes that form a general description of the experiences of children exposed to domestic violence. The results revealed that children prefer to be taken away from homes where there is domestic violence. While the social welfare department sometimes intervenes to restore family stability, in this study it became apparent that children are aware of causes or predisposing factors of domestic violence and they are actively involved in seeking solutions. Apart from placement in the children's home, family separation and finding someone to talk to parents were seen as effective ways of improving their situation.

Police Implementation of the Domestic Violence Act in South AfricaSara, Stone January 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to produce a deeper understanding of the role of the police authorities in their adherence to the new constitution and laws that are supposed to protect women, especially those affected by domestic violence. In order to do that, this research focuses on the implementation of the Domestic Violence Act of 1998 (DVA) by the police authorities in South Africa. I look into what factors influence their attitudes towards and reactions to victims of domestic violence. I use a triangulation of resources including case reports of domestic violence from court, online media articles, research reports on domestic violence, police performance reports and other governmental documents, as well as NGO reports of victims and police implementation including an interview with someone who worked with women in South Africa. I analyze my results using the three pillars of new institutionalism: regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive. This theory is useful in breaking down the issue to get a deeper understanding on different levels. Each pillar explains the rules and legally sanctioned acts, norms and values, and cultural assumptions behind the attitudes and actions of the police when involved in domestic violence cases. This helps to see the problem in different perspectives and explain how the police may play a role in perpetuating domestic violence in South Africa. Through my study on media articles, case reports, and NGO reports on the actions of police, I found that the police do play a role in perpetuating domestic violence in South Africa, though there are many factors that are involved. The norms of society itself show that domestic violence is a private matter and should be kept within the home. The gender power inequalities and social problems in South Africa are also actors in keeping domestic violence such a problem. The government itself has not provided adequate resources and training to properly implement the Domestic Violence Act. So, while the police definitely plays a role in this problem and need to be better trained and more compliant with the DVA and its provisions, there are many factors to consider that also add to this epidemic.

Huweliksgeweld : insigte vanuit die literatuur02 March 2015 (has links)
M.A. (Social Work) / Marital violence is not a new phenomenon, but one which has, until recently, been conveniently avoided by researchers on account of its sensitive and tabu qualities. Very little research has been done in South Africa on marital violence. The purpose of this exploratory study is to determine priorities for further research and to develop hypotheses which would generate future research. Contemporary literature dated back to 1970 was explored. From the literature review the following conclusions were drawn : Ignorance and misconceptions exist concerning the nature, range, contributing factors and effects of marital violence. Violence in the marital relationship can occur with as few as 15,6% to as many as 60% of all married couples. Marital violence is mostly directed at the wife, it occurs usually repeatedly and increases in severity over time, it can take on different forms and marital violence sometimes results in serious injuries. A wide variety of factors contribute to marital violence and no one factor can be isolated as the primary cause. The study also identified insufficient community resources and support programmes directed at couples who experience marital violence, as a serious constraint in the helping process. Furthermore it appears that involvement of the family and the social environment is a prerequisite for effective intervention programmes and the prevention of marital violence. A multi-professional team approach which emphasises helping people rather than prosecuting them, appears to be desirable. Lastly, intervention related to and prevention of marital violence should be incorporated in a comprehensive social welfare policy.

Perceptions of parents concerning school violence in a secondary school in AlexandraMthimkhulu, Maurious S 28 July 2016 (has links)
A research project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Educational Psychology in the faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2015
November 2015 / This research intended to explore the perceptions of parents concerning school violence in a secondary school in Alexandra. It was guided by the following questions, namely: (1) How has school violence affected learners? (2) What factors do parents think contribute to school violence? (3) What interventions do parents think are needed to address violence in schools? Because this was a qualitative study, an interpretive research paradigm was adopted in order to gain an in-depth understanding into the descriptions and information that the participants shared. Purposive sampling was chosen as a method of collecting data from the participants. The sample consisted of ten participants (parents of the learners) whose children were attending a selected high school in Alexandra. Two parents from each grade (grades 8 to 12) were selected. Participants’ ages ranged from 30 to 65 years. The results revealed that many factors such as domestic violence in families were pivotal contributors to school violence. Peer pressure, substance abuse and a new generation with a new set of rights were also identified as the causes of school violence. Anger that has developed due to unfavourable home and community conditions was another trigger identified. Effects of school violence on the learners included concentration lapses in the classroom, bunking classes, academic decline and the internalisation of violent behaviour. Educators were also been identified to be affected by the school violence, this presented as loss of interest in the teaching profession and fearfulness in the teachers as well as behaviours associated with this fearfulness such as being cautious of their behaviour around learners It is imperative that all stakeholders collaborate in addressing the problem of school violence. More research needs to be done so that society may understand the ways in which this violence can be avoided. Participants expressed that parents are willing to take part and be involved in addressing school violence, even though they think they do not have much to contribute.
