Cette thèse présente une série de 6 études qui s’articule autour de la perception du harcèlement sexuel (HS), de la perception de la souffrance des victimes du HS et de la perception des auteurs du HS. De nombreuses études démontrent que les hommes peuvent devenir les victimes de HS (ex. Kearney et Rochlen, 2011 ; Waldo, Berdahl, et Fitzgerald, 1998). Cependant, la perception du HS par des personnes qui ne l’ont pas subis, semble être loin de la réalité. Je fais l’hypothèse que 1. La perception sociale de la souffrance des hommes victimes de HS est perçue comme moindre en comparaison de celle des femmes victimes HS. 2A. Par rapport aux auteurs de HS avec une victime féminine, les auteurs de HS dont la victime est masculine, sont mieux évalués. Suite aux résultats obtenus dans l’étude 4, j’ai proposé une alternative à l’hypothèse 2A (2B), que les auteures de HS féminins sont mieux évaluées. Les résultats soutiennent les hypothèses que la perception des individus impliqués dans le HS dépend de leur sexe. Les victimes féminines sont perçues comme ayant plus de souffrance que les victimes masculines. Les auteurs masculins sont perçus comme moins agentiques et moins respectables que les auteurs féminines et méritent une punition plus sévère. Quand la colère des participants détermine la relation entre le sexe de la victime et la perception de l’auteur, l’auteur de HS sur une femme est perçu comme étant plus coupable, méritant une punition plus sévère et étant moins un agent moral. / This thesis presents a series of six studies which concentrate on the perception of sexual harassment (SH) and the perception of victims and perpetrators of SH. Numerous studies show that men can become victims of SH and suffer from SH (ex. Kearney et Rochlen, 2011; Waldo, Berdahl, et Fitzgerald, 1998), however the lay perceptions of SH seem to be far from the reality. I hypothesized that:1o. In social perception the suffering of male victims of SH is less severe than that of female victims 2A. The perpetrators whose victims are female are evaluated worse than those whose victims are male Due to the results obtained in Study 4, I suggested an alternative to hypothesis 2A (2B) namely, that the female perpetrators of SH are evaluated better. The results support the hypothesis that the perception of the victims and perpetrators of SH depends on their sex. Female victims are perceived as suffering more than the male victims. Male perpetrators are seen as less agentic and less respectable than female perpetrators and deserving a higher punishment. When participant's anger mediates the relationship between the victim’s sex and the perception of the perpetrator, the perpetrator of SH on a woman is perceived as guiltier, deserving a higher punishment and as being less of a moral agent. / Załączona rozprawa przedstawia serię badań dotyczących społecznej percepcji molestowania seksualnego (MS), percepcji cierpienia ofiar molestowania oraz percepcji sprawców molestowania. MS to każde niepożądane zachowanie werbalne lub niewerbalne odnoszące się do seksualności lub płci adresata, które skutkuje naruszeniem jej godności, poprzez tworzenie „onieśmielającej, wrogiej, poniżającej, upokarzającej lub agresywnej atmosfery” (Śledzińska-Simon, 2011). W przedstawionych badaniach odwołuję się do typologii MS zaproponowanej przez Fitzgerald, Gelfand i Drasgow (1995), a następnie poszerzonej przez Waldo, Berdahl i Fitzgerald (1998). W typologii tej wyróżniono trzy rodzajów MS są to: 1. przymus seksualny (sexual coercion) – grożenie ofierze lub zapewnianie ofiary, że jeśli zgodzi się na kontakt seksualny, otrzyma pewne przywileje (np. awans, lepszą ocenę na egzaminie) lub uniknie negatywnych konsekwencji (np. zwolnienie z pracy, ocena niedostateczna) 2. niepożądane zainteresowanie seksualne (unwanted sexual attention) – częste dotykanie ofiary lub napastliwe próby stworzenia intymnego lub seksualnego związku z ofiarą 3. molestowanie z uwagi na przynależność do danej płci (gender harassment): 3a. obsceniczne komentarze (lewd comments) – na przykład: żarty odnoszące się do seksualności; obraźliwe komentarze na temat wyglądu lub życia seksualnego; pokazywanie pornograficznych zdjęć 3b. wymuszanie zachowań zgodnych ze stereotypową rolą płciową (enforcement of gender role) – na przykład: żarty z mężczyzny, który bierze zwolnienie w celu zajmowania się dzieckiem; komentarze skierowane do kobiety, że powinna robić sobie makijaż, żeby wyglądała bardziej kobieco 3c. negatywne komentarze dotyczące danej płci (negative gender related remarks) - na przykład: powiedzenie, że wszyscy mężczyźni myślą tylko o jednym; stwierdzenie, że kobiety nie nadają się do zarządzania

Föreliggande arbete har för avsikt att undersöka behandlares förklaringar till mäns våldsutövande och överrepresentation i grövre våld samt att få en djupare förståelse för faktorer som påverkar förändringsarbetet. Resultaten visade att våldet inte enkelt kan förklaras genom enskilda faktorer, utan är summan av en kombination av flera påverkansfaktorer. Dessa inkluderade erfarenheter av våld, könsmaktsordningen och socialt inlärda föreställningar om kön och relationer. Behandlarna betonade vikten av att inte externalisera våldet, utan erkänna att våldsutövare gör medvetna val att använda våld. Behandlarnas insikter pekade på betydelsen av att skapa en god terapeutisk allians, anpassa behandlingen efter individuella behov och främja klientens inre motivation för förändring. Dessa perspektiv ger en värdefull inblick i våldsproblematiken i sin komplexitet och bidrar till utvecklingen av mer effektiva behandlingsstrategier för att minska våldet i samhället. / The present study aims to explore practitioners' explanations for men's perpetration of violence and their overrepresentation in severe violence, as well as to gain a deeper understanding of factors influencing the process of change. The findings indicated that violence cannot be simply explained by individual factors, but rather results from a combination of multiple influencing factors. These factors included previous experiences of violence, gender power dynamics, and socially learned beliefs about gender and relationships. The practitioners emphasized the importance of not externalizing violence, but rather recognizing that perpetrators consciously choose to engage in violent behavior. Insights from the practitioners highlighted the significance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, tailoring treatment to individual needs and promoting clients' intrinsic motivation for change.  These perspectives provide a valuable insight into the complexity of the issue of violence and contribute to the development of more effective treatment strategies to reduce violence in society.

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)

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.

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)

The aim of this thesis is to analyze a media campaign called Responsible Together, which is focused on decrease of violence against women. Campaign Responsible Together is created by non-profit organizations that are part of civil society. This thesis brings a description of the creative process of the campaign, it's target group, and communication mix. One part of this thesis also introduces the specifics of marketing in the non-profit field. A case study was selected as a research design because it allows combining more than one method of collecting data.

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.
