Quand la r��adaptation blesse? ��ducateurs victimes de violence

Cette ��tude vise �� comprendre le ph��nom��ne de la violence physique v��cue par les ��ducateurs oeuvrant dans dix Centres Jeunesse (CJ) du Qu��bec. Pour ce faire, un sondage de victimisation a ��t�� administr�� �� 586 ��ducateurs en internat. En premier lieu, la pr��valence de cette probl��matique sera ��tablie. Par la suite, les facteurs individuels et environnementaux pr��disposant aux agressions physiques seront identifi��s. Des ��ducateurs sond��s, 53,9 % rapportent avoir ��t�� victimes de violence physique au cours de la derni��re ann��e. Sur le plan individuel, ��tre affect�� par les manifestations agressives des clients et la fr��quence des violences psychologiques subies augmentent les risques de victimisation physique. Quant au contexte, l�����ge de la client��le et le motif de l���intervention (bas�� sur la loi justifiant le placement) aupr��s de l���enfant ou de l���adolescent influencent l���occurrence des actes violents dirig��s contre les ��ducateurs. Nos analyses montrent ��galement que les violences physiques dont sont victimes les ��ducateurs affectent autant l���individu que l���institution. L���identification de facteurs permettant de pr��dire les risques de victimisation pourrait notamment servir �� orienter les programmes de pr��vention de la violence dans les CJ, mais aussi �� cibler les ��ducateurs les plus �� risque afin de leur fournir un soutien adapt��.

���Rights of Women against Domestic Violence - The Law and Emerging Challenges���

Domestic violence is a gender based violation of human rights having multi- dimensional repercussions in the well- being of individuals in family and society. The Indian legislation to protect the women from domestic violence is significant in providing a mechanism for enforcing positive civil rights of protection and injunction orders to the victims of domestic violence along with the existing remedies of criminal sanctions. However the Act was brought in the backdrop of an established tradition of cohesive and stable family setting. This, in turn, results in the emergence of new issues and challenges which necessitates deeper understandings of indigenous sociocultural institutions in India i.e., marriage and family. This study is an attempt to analyse the Indian law on domestic violence and to assess whether the law addresses and answers the problems of domestic violence effectively in the culture specific setting of India

Sexual Violence Beyond all Reasonable Doubt

Establishing the pattern of crime is fundamental for the successful investigation ofinternational crimes (genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity). A patternof crime is the aggregate of multiple incidents that share common features related tothe victims, the perpetrators, and the modus operandi. Pattern evidence and analysishave been used successfully, mainly in the investigation of large-scale killings, destruction,and displacement; the use for sexual violence charges has been remarkablymore limited. There is a need to overcome this gap by setting proper methods of datacollection and analysis. At the level of evidence collection, under-reporting should beaddressed through victimization surveys or secondary analysis of data available fromdifferent sources. At the level of analysis, the available evidence needs to be subject toimpartial examination beyond the pre-conceptions of the conflict parties and advocacygroups, in compliance with scientific standards for quantitative, qualitative, andGIS (Geographic Information Systems)methods. Reviewing the different investigativeexperiences and jurisprudence will help to set the right methodology and contribute mostefficiently to putting an end to the impunity regarding sexual crimes.

Sexual Violence Against Women as a Strategy to Dispossess Land in the Colombian Armed Conflict

This article reviews the evidence collected by diverse national and international organizations regarding the relationship between sexual violence against women, forced displacement, and dispossession in the context of the Colombian armed conflict. To this end, it uses the concept of ���sexual violence regimes��� to highlight that the endspursued by sexual violence are not always exhausted by simple consummation (that is, the act of sexual violence itself), but depending on the context, can be connected with broader strategic goals of armed actors. At the same time, this document admits the difficulty of proving this relationship with respect to judicial procedures, and thus sets out the possibility of creating a rebuttable presumption, in the framework of ���unconstitutional state of affairs��� created by judgment T-025 of 2004, that alleviates the burden of proof of the victims, and serves as a catalyst to promote new genderbased mechanisms of reparations.

Impact de la violence politique sur la sant�� mentale des jeunes adolescents en Colombie. Analyse des facteurs de risque et de protection

El objetivo de esta investigaci��n es examinar desde una perspectiva ecol��gica la salud mental de los adolescentes desplazados por la violencia pol��tica en Colombia. Se tom�� como base el modelo ecol��gico integrado del impacto del trauma de Elbedour, ten Bensel y Bastien (1993), que estipula la influencia combinada de diferentes niveles de factores unidos a la experiencia traum��tica, factores individuales y factores proximales que vienen de la familia, y de los factores sociales de la red social familiar. El estudio se realiz�� con 98 j��venes en edades entre los 9 a 16 a��os (M= 12.5 a��os, dt= 2.18), habitantes de las afueras de Barranquilla, de los cuales 48 son desplazados por la violencia (26 de sexo masculino, 22 de sexo femenino) y 50 son sedentarios pobres (26 de sexo masculino, 24 de sexo femenino). Los cuestionarios se escogieron en funci��n de su utilizaci��n en contextos de pobreza y/o violencia (Macksoud, 1992; Macksoud & Aber, 1996; Macksoud, Aber, Dyregrov & Raundalen, 1990). Los resultados muestran que los adolescentes desplazados son m��s deprimidos y ansiosos que sus pares sedentarios. La ansiedad est�� unida al n��mero total de eventos traum��ticos, mientras que la depresi��n se explica m��s bien por la separaci��n de los padres. Las competencias sociales y el ambiente social act��an como factores protectores. Entre los factores del ambiente social se observa el hecho de vivir en una familia extensa y de inscribirse en una red social que incluye a los amigos de la familia. ��En su conjunto, la familia y la preservaci��n de su unidad aparecen como elementos cruciales.

Prevalence, risk factors, and problems associated with dating violence: A literature review

The physical, psychological and sexual violence among the couples of adolescents and young adults that are not married neither cohabiting (well-known generally as ���dating violence���), has been object of a vast number of investigations in the last two decades that show a high prevalence inside the adolescent and juvenile population. The objective of this work was to carry out an analysis of the literature in connection with the prevalence, risk factors and difficulties associated with this partner violence type. This analysis allowed to elaborate an outline of the factors that could favor the acts of violence, including the previous experiences��of victimization inside and outside the family, the acceptance of the violence toward the couple, and the relationship with pairs that have exercised this form of violence.

The persistent colombian conflict bubnational analysis of the duration of violence

The growing empirical literature on the analysis of civil war has recently included the study of conflict duration at the cross-country level. This paper presents, for the first time, a within-country analysis of the determinants of violence duration. I focus on the experience of the Colombian armed conflict. While the conflict has been active for about five decades, local violence ebbs and flows and areas experiencing continuous conflict coexist with places that have been able to resile and where violence is mostly absent. I examine a wide range of factors potentially associated with violence duration at the municipal level, including scale variables, geographical conditions, economic and social variables, institutions and state presence, inequality, government intervention, and victimization variables. I characterize a few variables robustly correlated with the persistence of localized conflict, both across specifications and using different econometric models of duration analysis.

Violence and growth in colombia : a review of the quantitative literature

This is a critical review of the empirical literature on the relationship between violence and economic growth in Colombia: an interesting case study for social scientists studying violence, conflict, crime and development. We argue that, despite the rapid development of this literature and the increasing use of new techniques, there is still much room for research. After assessing the contribution of the most influential papers on the subject, we suggest directions for future research.
