81	Exploring the construction of white male identity in selected novels by J.M. Coetzee Dent, Jacqueline Elizabeth May 30 November 2007 (has links) Coetzee's own experience of living in apartheid South Africa provides the backdrop for novels infused with sardonic irony and rich metaphoric systems. In modes of metafiction that emphasize the destructive and violent nature of language, he optimizes his unique oeuvre to interrogate global, national and domestic power relations. This dissertation relies on psychoanalytical theories that examine microstructures of power within the individual, and in his domestic domain. Each of Coetzee's chief protagonists carries a secret related to a dysfunctional mother/son relationship. This hampers their psychosocial dynamics, their masculinity and sexuality. As they respectively strive toward an elusive new life they confront patriarchal power structures that speak on behalf of individuals, '[whose] descent into powerlessness [is] voluntary' (Coetzee 2007: 4-5). Coetzee's constructed white males perform their several identity roles in milieux that span divergent phases of colonial history. His critique points to white patriarchal hegemonic ideological discourses that bespeak the self/other dichotomy in a postcolonial world where the language of dominance supports an oppressive status quo. / English Studies / M.A. (English) Violence, violation and abuse Victims and perpetrators Social taboos Myths History Culture and religion Psychoanalytical theories: Klein Freud Transference Coetzee oeuvre Narration Style Autre-biography 823.914 Whites in literature Gender in literature Narration in literature Violence in literature
82	An evaluation of the handling of domestic violence cases in the Alice cluster by South African Police Service officials Sonjani, Thembisile Baker 03 1900 (has links) The study used a qualitative and quantitative approach in evaluating the handling of domestic violence cases in the Alice cluster by the South African Police Service officials. Fifty SAPS officials and twenty victims of domestic violence participated in the research study. Forty cases of domestic violence and four inspection reports by the Eastern Cape Evaluation Service from the Alice cluster were also consulted which served to confirm the responses from the respondents. Questionnaires and interviews were utilized for data collection. The research study revealed that SAPS officials were not properly trained in domestic violence, as a result domestic violence cases were not handled according to the Domestic Violence Act. Some domestic violence victims expressed their dissatisfaction with the handling of their cases. The suggested recommendations include adequate training necessary for SAPS officials to improve service delivery to the victims of domestic violence and proper supervision by the station management. / Police Practice / M.Tech.

83	Narrative accounts of the involvement of victims and perpetrators in mob-justice related incidents : a Limpopo case study Mpuru, L. P. 02 1900 (has links) Increasing incidents of mob justice have left a trail of murders that remain unsolved in the rural areas of South Africa. As such, little attention has been given to the experiences of victims and perpetrators involved in mob justice related incidents in these areas in particular. The purpose of this study was to examine narrative accounts of the experiences of victims and perpetrators engaged in mob justice associated incidents in the Diphale village, Limpopo. Twenty participants, consisting of 14 perpetrators and 06 victims, were chosen through sampling techniques, like, convenience and snowball sampling. A qualitative approach was adopted using semi-structured interviews as the key research instrument. The semi-structured interviews were conducted with 09 perpetrators, and two focus groups involving 06 victims and 05 perpetrators. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to interpret data collected from the participants. The findings indicated that unsolved crime leads to persistent mob justice activities in the Diphale village. The findings in the study were further bolstered through the provision of recommendations aimed at preventing future mob justice activities. The recommendations highlight proper service delivery, including community development, and the reduction of corruption and bribery. / Criminology and Security Science / M.A. (Criminology) Mob justice Perpetrators Victims Punishment Retaliatory violence Fear Community Criminal justice system Corruption 364.1340968255

85	L’hostilité de genre selon le profil de violence entre partenaires intimes : une étude auprès d’hommes en recherche d’aide Patterson-Beaumont, Kayla 08 1900 (has links) À l'échelle mondiale, la violence entre partenaires intimes (VPI) demeure un problème de santé publique préoccupant, nous indiquant l’importance d’identifier ses corrélats. Un facteur ayant été associé à la violence masculine est l’hostilité envers les femmes. Toutefois, aucune de ces études n’a pris en compte toutes les formes principales de VPI ainsi que la sévérité des actes, ne permettant pas de représenter adéquatement l’hétérogénéité du phénomène. Également, l’association observée entre l’hostilité envers les femmes et la VPI perpétrée par les femmes indique la pertinence d’investiguer ce lien chez les hommes. Le premier objectif du présent mémoire visait à identifier les profils de VPI sur la base de la sévérité des actes de VPI physique, psychologique, sexuelle et du contrôle coercitif perpétrés auprès d’un échantillon clinique de 969 hommes en recherche d’aide pour violence conjugale. Le deuxième objectif visait à analyser si les profils identifiés présentaient des différences en termes d’hostilité envers les femmes et d’hostilité envers les hommes. Les analyses de profils latents ont permis d’identifier quatre profils d’auteurs en fonction de la sévérité des actes perpétrés sur les quatre formes de VPI. Des différences significatives ont ensuite été observées entre les profils et l’hostilité de genre. Plus particulièrement, le profil caractérisé par des formes sévères de VPI et de contrôle coercitif affichait les niveaux les plus élevés d'hostilité envers les femmes et envers les hommes. Les résultats contribuent à améliorer notre compréhension des corrélats de la VPI et à guider le développement d'interventions adaptées à ces profils d’auteurs. / Across the world, intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a significant public health concern, indicating the importance of identifying its correlates. One factor that has been associated with male violence is hostility towards women. However, none of these studies took into account all the main forms of IPV, nor the severity of the acts, making it impossible to adequately represent the heterogeneity of the phenomenon. Additionally, the association observed between hostility towards women and IPV perpetrated by women indicates the relevance of investigating this link among men. The first objective of the present study was to identify distinct IPV profiles based on the severity of acts of physical, psychological, sexual, and coercive control IPV perpetrated among a clinical sample of 969 men seeking help for domestic violence. The second objective was to analyze whether the profiles differed in terms of hostility towards women and hostility towards men. Latent profile analyses identified four perpetrators profiles based on the severity of the acts perpetrated on the four forms of IPV. Significant differences were observed between profiles and gender hostility. Most notably, the profile characterized by severe forms of IPV and severe coercive control displayed the highest levels of hostility towards both women and men. The results contribute to improve our understanding of IPV correlates and guide the development of interventions tailored to these different perpetrators profiles. violence entre partenaires intimes contrôle coercitif hostilité de genre hostilité envers les femmes violence conjugale hostilité envers les hommes analyses de profils latents intimate partner violence domestic violence coercive control gender hostility hostility towards women hostility towards men perpetrators latent profile analysis Psychology / Psychologie (UMI : 0621)

90	La limitation des droits fondamentaux constitutionnels par l’ordre public / The limitation to fundamental constitutional rights by considerations of public order Gervier, Pauline 05 December 2013 (has links) La dialectique de l’ordre public et des libertés sillonne la pensée juridique depuis le XVIIIème siècle. Généré par de nouvelles formes de délinquance et de criminalité, le renforcement des exigences de l’ordre public impose de s’interroger sur la limitation des droits fondamentaux constitutionnels. En dépit de la place névralgique qu’il occupe entre ordre public et libertés, le processus de limitation demeure indéterminé en droit français. Cette recherche, organisée autour de la détermination des limites aux droits garantis, de l’identification des « limites aux limites » aux droits fondamentaux, puis de la redéfinition des droits fondamentaux par les limites, permet de préciser ce mécanisme, mais aussi de cerner les restrictions apportées à l’exercice des droits et libertés. L’autolimitation du Conseil constitutionnel marque un infléchissement progressif de la protection des droits fondamentaux. Ce constat invite à réfléchir sur l’encadrement supra-législatif de la limitation des droits garantis, et conduit à se positionner en faveur de l’insertion d’une clause de limitation des droits fondamentaux dans la Constitution. / The dialectics of public order and freedoms has been traveling throughout legal thought since the 18th century. Sparked by new forms of delinquency and criminality, the strengthening of public order requirements leads to questioning the limitation of fundamental constitutional rights. Despite its crucible place between public order and freedoms, the limitation process remains undetermined in French law. This research, which aims at determining the limitations to protected rights, identifying the limitations to those limitations themselves, and then redefining fundamental rights through those limitations, not only helps to specify this mechanism, but also to identify the restrictions brought to the enjoyment of rights and freedoms. The Conseil constitutionnel self-restraint reveals a gradual shift in the protection of fundamental rights. Acknowledging the former leads to considering a supra legislative framework to the limitations to protected rights, and advocating in favor of the constitutional entrenchment of such a clause.
