“…A study was conducted on the effects of abuse on attachment styles with one notable result: Compared with nonabused women, abused women scored significantly higher on emotional detachment, especially with reference to Angry Withdrawal and Availability. Angry Withdrawal refers to the avoidance coping style whereas Availability refers to the expectation that the responses to one’s needs will not be positive (LaViolette & Barnett, 2000).…”

“…In Skinner’s experiments, rats learned to press a bar to escape or avoid shock treatments. In escape or avoidance learning, one must learn to respond (as in pressing the bar) to escape or avoid pain (LaViolette & Barnett, 2000). Battered women can learn to escape beatings via certain behaviors, including compliance, assuming a nonconfrontational persona, and becoming sexually available.…”

“…Battered women can learn to escape beatings via certain behaviors, including compliance, assuming a nonconfrontational persona, and becoming sexually available. These coping mechanisms make it difficult for women to change their behavior because they have learned ways to “keep the peace” (LaViolette & Barnett, 2000).…”

It reports on specific themes that emerged from 6 art expression workshops of 20 ethnically diverse women 50 years of age and older.

“…Moreover, IPV involving alcohol or drugs has increased arrest (Dichter et al, 2011; Durfee & Fetzer, 2016; Roark, 2016), and similarly, when alcohol or drugs are part of the incident, police may associate this with negative bias related to suspect temperament and demeanor. Finally, IPV among married partners may induce the pessimistic but widespread stereotype that victims will not cooperate with police or leave the abusive relationship (LaViolette & Barnett, 2013), limiting police willingness to arrest.…”

Focal concerns has utility for explaining criminal justice decisions, including among police. At present, there is no research that has examined focal concerns and arrest decisions in non-sexual, intimate partner violence (IPV) cases. This study used a stratified random sample of 776 IPV incidents from an urban police department in one of the five largest and most diverse US cities to assess the effect of focal concerns on arrest. A multivariate binary logistic regression model demonstrated victim injury, suspect IPV and general criminal history, evidence, witnesses, victim preference for formal intervention, women victims, and intoxicated suspects predicted arrest. When the suspect was on scene, this was the strongest predictor of arrest. Implications and future research are discussed.

“…es de huida o de bloqueo de los acontecimientos traumáticos(Escudero, Polo, López y Aguilar, 2005). En este sentido, la dificultad de enunciar y de reconocer las vivencias de acoso sexual suele conllevar una especie de pasividad que propicia el impedimento de la denuncia (La Violette yBarnett, 2000;Escudero, Polo, López y Aguilar, 2005).…”

ResumenEn Chile, la legislación solo tipifica el acoso sexual —tipo particular de violencia sexual— en el ámbito laboral. Por lo mismo, las agresiones suscitadas en espacios académicos aún son vagamente visibilizadas. En este contexto, aquí se presenta un estudio cualitativo realizado en la Región de Valparaíso, tras las movilizaciones feministas lideradas por estudiantes universitarias en mayo de 2018. En él, se examinan los discursos orales de víctimas de actos de acoso sexual perpetrados en las principales universidades de la zona. A partir de entrevistas, se analiza el impacto que estos hechos tienen en las víctimas, las dificultades legales que enfrentan las potenciales denunciantes y el papel que desempeñan las redes de apoyo como mecanismos de resistencia ante este tipo de agresiones.AbstractIn Chile, current legislation doesn’t refer to sexual harassment in higher education contexts. Consequently, sexual assaults occurred in the academic sphere become a vaguely visible phenomenon. In this scenario, the researchers present a qualitative case studio developed in the Valparaíso Region, before the feminist mobilizations from 2018 —a series of student demonstrations led by young women college students. Specifically, in this studio, the researchers analyze oral discourses by women who had been victims of sexual harassment episodes perpetrated by students and scholars at the main universities of the region. Through several interviews, the researchers examine the impact of sexual harassment in the lives of the victims, the main obstacles that these victims find in their search of justice, and the role that social networks play as safety zones for women resistance.
