“…The differences in income, prestige, and occupational and educational attainment may end up favoring women. This can disrupt traditional patriarchal roles within the household, leading to more violent expressions of power aimed at restoring men’s power over women ( Rodríguez-Menés & Safranoff, 2021 ).…”

Despite the pervasiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Canada, research examining IPV in the context of Asian Canadians is scarce. Our study examined whether and how Canadian judges consider culture when determining a sentence in IPV cases involving an Asian offender and/or an Asian victim. We systematically searched for publicly published cases through CanLII. A total of 50 cases met the inclusion criteria. Cultural themes were identified using a direct content analysis approach to capture a priori themes in the literature, as well as identify any other factors considered. Our findings indicated culture was most often considered in only a superficial way ( n = 31, 62.0%), where judges only made statements that simply identified the ethnicity of the offender and not how culture may have impacted the case. When examining cases where culture was meaningfully considered there were no prominent culture themes identified (all themes present in <14% of cases). We suggest this may not only reflect the heterogeneity of Asian Canadians, but could also reflect the lack of cultural consideration by the judges. Cultural factors were also rarely considered explicitly as an aggravating or mitigating factor in a case ( n = 2; 4.0% and n = 7; 14.0% of the total sample, respectively). The findings reveal the current lack of meaningful consideration of culture in IPV legal cases involving Asian Canadians. We outline how this contrasts the increased attention to the meaningful consideration of culture in the Canadian legal arena and prompt all professionals involved in assessing and managing IPV risk to consider racial, ethnic, and cultural factors in these cases.

“…La perspectiva feminista sobre la violencia en pareja sostiene que la razón fundamental de su existencia es el sistema patriarcal que fomenta la sumisión de la mujer al hombre y el uso de la violencia como herramienta de poder y de restauración de la autoridad patriarcal cuando se debilita (DOBASH y DOBASH, 1979;DEKESEREDY, 2011;RODRÍGUEZ-MENÉS y SAFRANOFF, 2012). En España, la irrupción de la perspectiva feminista fue más tardía, aunque lo hizo con fuerza, impregnando la respuesta penal hacia la violencia en pareja (FERRER-PÉREZ y BOSCH-FIOL, 2019).…”

Mitos y realidades en la crítica al discurso feminista sobre la violencia en pareja La importancia del género en la violencia contra la pareja en Cataluña Sumario -Este trabajo evalúa la validez de la crítica antifeministas en tres aspectos clave de la violencia en pareja: ¿los agresores, son violentos generalistas que agreden a otras personas o especialistas que agreden solo a sus parejas? ¿Es la violencia en pareja unilateral, de hombre a mujer, o bilateral? ¿Es un fenómeno importado de fuera con los flujos migratorios o simplemente se concentra en poblaciones vulnerables? Utilizando datos de registros penitenciarios sobre agresores y víctimas correspondientes a una cohorte de condenados por un delito de violencia en pareja y a una muestra de control condenada por cualquier delito en Cataluña, se concluye que la crítica antifeminista tiene poco fundamento, al menos en lo que se refiere a la violencia procesada por el sistema penal. Esta violencia es principalmente un asunto de hombres que se especializan en agredir a parejas vulnerables.
