“…Most fundamentally, we modelled individual decision-making as a process of rational utility-maximisation. We believe this assumption is more realistic than models in which individuals act reflexively without considering costs or benefits of action ( Drigo et al, 2012 ; Rigby and Johnson, 2017 ). Our assumption is consistent with evidence on social mobilisation ( Rogers et al, 2018 ), prosocial ( Bierhoff, 2005 ), and help-seeking ( Fugate et al, 2005 ) behaviour, which demonstrates that individuals are sensitive to costs and benefits of such behaviour.…”

Interventions promoting collective action have been used to prevent domestic violence in a range of settings, but their mechanisms of operation remain unclear. We formalise and combine feminist theoretical approaches to domestic violence into a game-theoretic model of women’s collective action to change gendered social norms and outcomes. We show that social norms create a social dilemma in which it is individually rational for women to abstain from action to prevent domestic violence among neighbours, but all women suffer negative consequences if none take action. Promoting altruism among women can overcome the social dilemma. Discouraging women from tolerating domestic violence, imposing additional external punishment on men for perpetrating violence, or lowering costs to women of taking action against violence may not work or even backfire. We invite researchers on community mobilisation to use our framework to frame their understandings of collective action to prevent domestic violence.

“…In addition, to advance a multi-sectoral, multi-level research agenda, a stronger integration of systems analysis (such as system dynamics modeling) will be helpful to replace more simplistic models of causal analysis (Drigo et al ., 2012). For example, important intervention questions concern how many (and which) intervention components need to be impacted in a multi-level and interrelated-determined set of disadvantages before a vicious cycle becomes an upward spiral.…”

Interpersonal violence and mental health: a social justice framework to advance research and practice

This editorial paper accompanies a special series in the journal Global Mental Health focused on the topic of interpersonal violence and mental health. This series included 24 papers reporting on data from 31 countries, published between 2017 and 2019. This accompanying paper provides a short summary of findings in the special series and reflects on next steps in research and practice. Collectively, the series’ 24 papers suggest intricate bi-directional relationships between interpersonal violence and mental health, situated in particular contexts and varying across the life course. In order to study this complexity, an overarching theoretical framework is critical. This paper takes the social justice theory developed by Powers and Faden (2006, 2019) as a starting point. It is argued that application of this social justice framework will be helpful to: strengthen conceptual clarity; provide a sense of direction for research and practice in the area of interpersonal violence and mental health; assist in conducting more fine grained analyses of contextually determined processes of disadvantage; and help situate disciplinary specific research and practice questions in their broader context, thereby strengthening multi-disciplinary research and multi-sectoral policy and programming efforts.

“…Equally distressing and difficult for many women who experience such violence is that their experience is rejected and ignored by their families and communities, and by the institutions and agencies of the state. Many studies of violence against women report that the women experience rejection and hostility from their own families, from police and courts, from colleagues and employers, from health and service providers (Ailwood, Easteal, & Kennedy, 2012;Drigo, Ehlschlaeger, & Sweet, 2012;Jasinski, 2010;Rowntree, 2010). Denial is the cause, betrayal is the experience.…”

The sexual politics of citizenship and violence

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o Available online xxxxViolence against women appears to be endemic even in those societies where women have formal and equal citizenship. The influential theorist of citizenship, T.H. Marshall, found the status of women, or at least married women to be 'in some important respects peculiar'. Women in social democratic societies seem to have overcome those peculiarities and achieved full citizenship. And yet women's rights as citizens continue to be undermined by violence, specifically gender-based violence. In order to address the question about the apparent failure of citizenship rights to protect women from persistent violence this paper will suggest that the state is integral to our understandings as well as to any useful strategies for change. Based on the argument that citizenship is defined and practiced in terms of the sexual politics of contested gender relations, the paper argues that the state connects citizenship and violence. The persistence of violence against women is implicated in the sexual politics of citizenship. Hence, the challenge of violence against women is recognised as an issue for the state, citizenship and the whole community. Campaigns to recognise this challenge are becoming valuable sources of agency and activism as can be seen in recent campaigns and heightened media attention.
