“…De nombreux chercheurs relèvent l'aspect cyclique ou répétitif des violences conjugales (Giles-Sims, 1983 ;Walker, 1984). L'examen de chaque expérience de victimisation durant la période à l'étude permet d'analyser la séquence des évènements, à savoir s'il y a occurrence de nouveaux épisodes …”

En violence conjugale on ne peut négliger l’impact des circonstances immédiates et les caractéristiques individuelles des protagonistes dans la modulation du cours des évènements. Toutefois, peu d’études ont analysé simultanément les effets des circonstances immédiates, des caractéristiques de la victime et de l’agresseur sur la séquence des violences conjugales. L’objectif de cette étude est de mieux comprendre ce qui prédit la revictimisation ainsi que la récidive. Les résultats se fondent sur 52 149 évènements violents commis entre conjoints actuels ou passés enregistrés par les policiers sur le territoire d’une grande ville du Québec, de 2000 à 2009. Nos résultats montrent l’importance du sens de la violence, des expériences de victimisation et des antécédents criminels dans l’explication de la répétition de la violence, tout en nuançant leur effet en fonction de la récidive ou de la revictimisation. Cette étude peut permettre d’orienter les interventions sur plusieurs plans, en améliorant l’efficacité des mesures préventives et en permettant, par exemple, de déterminer des indicateurs facilement observables sur lesquels on peut baser l’intervention afin de mieux répondre au cours des évènements.Both immediate circumstances and the characteristics of protagonists have an effect on domestic violence. However, few studies have undertaken simultaneous analysis of the effects of immediate circumstances and victim and perpetrator characteristics on the sequence of domestic violence. The objective of this study is to better understand how to predict revictimization and recidivism. Results are based on 52,149 violent incidents involving current or former intimate partners that were recorded by police officers for a large city in the province of Quebec between 2000 and 2009. Our results show the importance of how the violence developed, victimization experiences, and criminal background in explaining recidivism in domestic violence. This study may help guide intervention at several levels and improve the effectiveness of preventive measures by making it possible, for example, to identify easily observable indicators that should lead to intervention in order to make a difference in the course of events.Cuando se trata de violencia conyugal, no puede haber negligencia, ni del impacto de las circunstancias inmediatas, ni de las características individuales de los protagonistas en la modulación del curso de los acontecimientos.

El objetivo del presente estudio es de lograr una mejor comprensión de aquéllo que predice la revictimización, así como de la reincidencia. Los resultados se basan sobre 52149 eventos violentos cometidos entre conyugues, actuales o anteriores, registrados por los policías en el territorio de una gran ciudad de la provincia de Quebec, entre 2000 y 2009.

“…Buna göre, kadınlar kurbanları tarafından suiistimale uğramakta ve bu yüzden suça bulaşmaktadırlar (Walker, 2009). Kadın suçluluğu çalışmalarına bakıldığında da, adam öldürme ve yaralama suçlarına karışmış kadınların söz konusu eylemlerini, çoğunlukla kendilerini korumak amaçlı gerçekleştirdikleri görülmektedir.…”

This study consists of the results of the research conducted with convicted female prisoners who committed crimes against the immunity and body immunity in Ankara (Sincan), İzmir (Şakran) and İstanbul (Bakırköy) women's closed prisons. The scope of the research includes women convicted of crimes against life and body immunity, who are more religious than prisoners convicted of theft, drugs etc. In this respect, the factors that lead to the criminality of women, who were convicted of murder or attempt murder, convicted of wounding offenses and who defined themselves as religious, are determined. Another aim is to demonstrate the crime and victim relationship, how convicts explain criminal actions to themselves and their surroundings and how they justify themselves. Questionnaires and semistructured interview techniques were used as a method. In this direction, the findings obtained from the results of the questionnaire conducted with 151 women convicts were evaluated by descriptive statistical method and the results of semi-structured interviews with 8 women were included in the results. These types of explanations, included in neutralization techniques, are: commitment to values, the role of the victim, and rejection of responsibility. In the first place, the victim sees the situation as a matter of honor and explains the guilt involved with their beliefs / beliefs. Secondly, the violence (domestic problems) that is experienced is said to be the result, as in the opposite party deserves it. In the third place, the victim rejects the responsibility, indicating that the mental illness or depression is the result of suicide.

In this article, the author examines the socio-legal relevance of the « battered woman syndrome » (BWS) in the cases of women who kill their violent partners in Canada. The legal recognition of domestic violence in these situations, in its historical context, is examined by focusing on the Supreme Court of Canada decision in the case of Angélique Lyn Lavallée in 1990. This landmark decison is used as pivotal in this discussion in order to shed light into the reasoning behind the subsequent legal decisions. The ideas proposed in this article are part of a more general exploration of the representations of femininity and their inscription in law. In discussing female conjugal homicide, the gendered nature of law and order, the pathologization of women, the « syndromisation» phenomenon and the médicalisation of violence, the author offers some insights in thinking legal strategies but more fundamentally in the social debate to continue
