This study analyses how abusive treatment is handled in three novels for adolescents, Färglös, Näthat blues, and Fjärde riket, in order to reveal how these novels can be used as a basis for discussions of values in the teaching of Swedish in upper secondaryschool. The three novels were chosen because statistics showed that they were the most frequently borrowed books for young people under the subject heading bullying at a library in southern Sweden. The analysis shows that there are different forms of abusive treatment in the three books. Färglös describes abusive treatment against a social category, where the members of the vulnerable group are forced to protect themselves and each other as a group. Näthat blues is about net bullying, sexual harassment, and gender-related bullying against a specific individual, while Fjärde riket shows how abuse can be used as a strategy to achieve a higher power position. The latter book tells the story from the point of view of both the victim and the perpetrators. The conclusionis that the three novels, in different ways, invite changes of perspective and can function well as a basis for discussions about abuse using fictitious characters.

The discretionary and casuistic application provided by the positivist model does not allow to evaluate with clarity and transparency the values that constitute the decision, lessening both judicial and social control. In the proposed systematization, it is expected to remove the challenges of the current model and to ensure unity and order of the regimen of protection against abusive commercial practices, in order to strengthen its application and thus consumer protection. The abusive practices of the Consumer Protection Code were analyzed by through methodical normative program and the ambit of the norm. The national doctrine and the foreign experience have contributed to both the elaboration of the program of the norm and the interpretation of the linguistic elements. The scope of the norm was elaborated based on legal cases originated from the the Superior Court of Justice’s caselaw and from hypothetical cases related to the right of the consumer. The norm of protection against abusive practices has been fulfilled in many cases. In others, some questions were raised to be considered before the legal case / A presente tese objetiva propor a sistematização e a aplicação das práticas comerciais abusivas previstas no Código de Defesa do Consumidor, à luz do paradigma pós-positivista e das linhas gerais da Teoria Estruturante do Direito, de Friedrich Müller. A aplicação discricionária e casuística proporcionada pelo modelo positivista não permite avaliar, com clareza e transparência, os valores que constituem a decisão, fragilizando o controle judicial e social. Na sistematização proposta, espera-se afastar os desafios do modelo atual e assegurar a unidade e a ordem do regime de proteção contra as práticas comerciais abusivas, com vistas a fortalecer sua aplicação e, assim, a proteção do consumidor. As práticas abusivas do Código de Defesa do Consumidor foram analisadas mediante metódica do programa da norma e do âmbito da norma. A doutrina nacional e a experiência estrangeira contribuíram para a elaboração do programa da norma e interpretação dos elementos linguísticos. O âmbito da norma foi elaborado a partir de casos jurídicos oriundos da jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e de casos hipotéticos relacionados ao direito do consumidor. A norma de proteção contra as práticas abusivas foi concretizada em muitos casos. Em outros, foram apontadas algumas questões para serem consideradas diante do caso jurídico

The patient, through the sessions, reports that he grew up in a violent environment and in several occasions he witnessed aggressions committed by his parents. In his childhood, he described the mother as invasive although it provided fear and intense inhibition, felt controlled and submissive to avoid punishment. In his adolescence the patient describes episodes of sexual abuse committed by his mother, and affirms that these experiences were ambivalence causing conflicts in his sexuality. Thus, the importance of investigating the impact caused by situations of abuse committed within the family context, emphasis on the intrusive and violent relationship between mother and child, considering the multiple violations suffered by the patient / O presente trabalho, esta inserido no campo de estudo da Psicopatologia Fundamental, e tem como base a narrativa de um atendimento clínico. No decorrer das sessões, o paciente descreve um ambiente violento, em que por diversas vezes assistiu agressões entre os membros de sua família. Durante a infância sua mãe era invasiva, e os cuidados por ela ofertados geravam medo e uma intensa inibição, sentia-se vigiado e atendia as solicitações maternas para evitar punições. Na adolescência o paciente foi alvo de abusos sexuais cometidos por sua mãe, e afirma que estas experiências ocasionaram conflitos em relação a sua sexualidade e repercutem na maneira com que ele se relaciona com as demais pessoas. Por isso, a importância de investigar o impacto causado por episódios de abuso em âmbito familiar, articulado a relação intrusiva e violenta que se estabeleceu entre mãe e filho, considerando as múltiplas violações por ela cometidas em relação ao paciente

One of the most common community responses to intimate partner violence is batterer intervention programs (BIPs), which are aimed at ending perpetrators' violent behavior. Unfortunately, however, the success rates of BIPs are questionable (Aldarondo, 2002; Gondolf, 2002) and we do not know what factors of the program facilitate decreases in abusive behavior when this does occur. Specifically, it is unknown whether and how individual characteristics interact with intervention group dynamics to facilitate change. To better understand this gap in the literature, this study investigated the relationship between social support, group majority-minority status, and interpersonal dependency in predicting intimate partner violence. The study utilizes data collected for a larger study sampling 180 men enrolled in a batterer intervention program in Portland, Oregon. It was hypothesized that partner violence is positively related to interpersonal dependency and negatively related to group social support. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that majority-minority group status moderates the relationship between group social support and intimate partner violence. As predicted, men who were more dependent on their partners also reported higher levels of psychological aggression perpetrated against their partners during the past 6-months. However, this relationship did not exist between interpersonal dependency and conflict tactics related to physical assault, injury, or sexual coercion. Further, perceived social support in the group did not predict partner violence as hypothesized. However, among men who had attended nine or fewer BIP sessions, both group social support and interpersonal dependency were positively associated with psychological aggression. Finally, among men who were involved in an intimate relationship at the time of data collection, interpersonal dependency was positively related to psychological aggression and physical assault.

L’office du juge est organisé par le Code de procédure civile au sein des principes directeurs : le juge est tenu de trancher le litige en droit et qu’il dispose, pour ce faire, de la faculté du relevé d’office de moyens de droit. Cette mission soulève une difficulté particulière en droit de la consommation, et notamment au regard du droit des clauses abusives et du crédit à la consommation : ces domaines impliquent la prise en compte du déséquilibre contractuel dû à la faiblesse du consommateur. L’office du juge est confronté à la nécessité de protéger cette « partie faible », ce qui pose la question de savoir si le juge dispose ou non de la faculté du relevé d’office. La difficulté de la réponse à y apporter ouvre une riche controverse (Partie 1) ; le législateur, au gré des réformes, et le juge, au gré des revirements, vont enrichir cette dernière pour finalement aboutir à une consécration du relevé d’office du juge (Partie 2).Le juge national avait d’abord clairement désapprouvé l’exercice du relevé d’office au nom de la notion d’ordre public de protection. La controverse était finalement soumise à l’appréciation du juge communautaire qui avait permis une consécration de la faculté du relevé d’office. Poussé par la jurisprudence communautaire, le législateur français avait fini par s’aligner sur cette exigence. Puis c’est une nouvelle impulsion de la jurisprudence communautaire qui va à nouveau remettre en cause le droit interne par la consécration d’une obligation du relevé d’office pour le juge. La nouvelle loi « Hamon » du 17 mars 2014 et la jurisprudence interne récente ne témoignent pas d’une réelle satisfaction des exigences posées par le droit communautaire.Il faut saisir, de l’ensemble de cette construction laborieuse de la jurisprudence et de la législation interne, la difficulté que pose la question du relevé d’office du juge en droit de la consommation, qui appelle de prochaines évolutions. / The office of the judge is organized by the rules of the Code of civil procedure: the judge must solve the litigations in law, and that, in order to do that, he benefits from the right to raise his own motion. This mission raises a particular difficulty in consumer law, especially regarding the law of the unfair clauses and consumer credit: these fields imply taking into consideration the contractual imbalance due to the weakness of the consumer. The office of the judge is confronted to the necessity to protect this « weak party », which raises the question of knowing if the judge has the right to raise his own motion. The difficulty of the answer opens a rich controversy (Part 1): the legislator, at the whim of the reforms, and the judge, at the whim of the reversals, will enrich this latter to finally come to a recognition of the right to raise the motion of the judge (Part 2).First the national judge clearly disapproved the exercising of the right to raise one's own motion in the name of the concept of public order of protection. The controversy was finally submitted to the assessment of the Community judge who enabling a recognition of the right to raise the motion of the judge. Driven by the Community jurisprudence, the French legislator finally lined up with this requirement. Then, a new impulse of the Community jurisprudence will question again the national law by the recognition of the duty of the judge to raise his own motion. The new law « Hamon » of march 17th 2014 and the recent internal jurisprudence are not evidence of a real satisfaction of the requirement set down by the Community law.We must embrace, from this laborious construction of the jurisprudence and internal legislation, the difficulty raised by the question of the right for the judge to raise his own motion concerning law consumption, which calls for future evolutions.

Abstract not available

The term femicide was used to refer to the murder of women. Intimate femicide referred to the murder of women by men with whom they had an intimate love relationship. The purpose of this research was to make visible the intimate and domestic nature of femicide by describing all femicides in Saskatchewan between 1988 and 1992 inclusive. A second purpose of this research was to learn about prevention both from committed femicides and from two women who had survived an attempted intimate femicide. This research was feminist in nature and utilized elements of both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Data were gathered on all women known to be murdered between 1988 and 1992 from sources such as newspaper searches, coroners' reports, and police files. Based on these data, femicides were classified as intimate or non-intimate femicides and as possibly preventable or not preventable within the femicidal incident itself. Further data were gathered from interviews with two women who had survived an attempted intimate femicidal attack. Both sets of data were then reviewed and themes relating to the prevention of femicide were elicited. These themes focussed on failures of the communities in which these women resided or were murdered, failures of the medical community to correctly identify femicidal men, failures of the judicial system in their dealings with femicidal men, failures of the organized church, and failures of the institution of the family. Ten femicides were classified as possibly preventable within the femicidal assault itself. In addition, the interviews with both survivors identified many areas of possible intervention relating to prevention over a longer period of time. The study concludes with my reflections on the process of engaging in research on femicide, discussions about areas for further research and the identification of possible implications for public policy.

Detta arbete har som syfte att undresöka förskollärares uppfattningar om verbala kränkningar mellan barn. Arbetet söker svar på hur de kränkande språket kan vara en del i barns sociala utvecklning. Jag har genomfört intervjuer med förskollärare för att kunna ta del av deras erfarenhet och kunskap inom området. I mina resultat har det framkommit att förskolans pedagoger är en viktig del av barns sociala utveckling. Det är i förskolan man får sina första upplevelser av vänskap, men det är också där i relationerna som man kan bli utsatt, eller utsätta andra, för verbal kränkning. Den fysiska miljön är av betydelse för förekomsten av kränkande språk och det föreligger en ökad risk i de icke pedagogstyrda aktiviteterna. / This study examines preschool theatchers' perceptions of abusive language among children and the purpose is to expose their ideas of abusive language impact on children's socializing process. I have contucted interviews with preschool theatchers in order to share their experience and knowledge in the field. The result show that preschool theatcers are an important part of the child's social development. In prexchool, children have their first impressions of friendship, but it is also in this relationsships they can be exposed, or expose others, for abusive language. The activities are important regarding the occurence and frecuency of absuive langugage and there is an increased risk in the non teacher-present activities create situations of abusive langugage among children.

M. Tech. Textile design and Technology Tshwane University of Technology 2012. / The aim of this research is to investigate the perceived right to violate women, specifically when female dress choice is used as justification for violation. This research explores the high statistics of sexual violence in South Africa which form the context in which the problem is investigated. Female dress is used as a case study through which the high prevalence of gender violence in South Africa is explored. The research focuses on dress as a casual factor regarding female violation. Male perceptions of dress are explored as well as factors that influence these perceptions. The perceptive of social cognition and social psychology of dress as well as the theories of influence, attribution and modesty are used to gain insight into the process of creating perceptions and how these perceptions lead to certain types of behavior towards women dressed in a certain way. The above theories and perceptive are used to analyze three South African case studies. These case studies were gathered from media reports on three prominent incidents which occurred in South Africa in which dress was used as justification for female violation.
