Lo squadrismo
2022
The essay sets out to analyse the genesis of fascist squadrismo, the wave of violence that brought Mussolini to power in 1922. Three levels in particular will be considered. Firstly, an attempt will be made to measure the impact of that violence through the incidence of certain crimes. Then, we will focus on the words used to describe it and the advent of the word 'squadrism'. finally, the fascist memory of squadrism, maintained and elaborated throughout the twenty-year period, will be considered
Dentro il processo: narrazioni, numeri e spazi del femminicidio nel discorso giudiziario
2020
Il saggio espone i primi risultati di una ricerca sulle rappresentazioni del femminicidio in ambito giudiziario in Italia, illustrandone il quadro teorico, le scelte metodologiche, l’impianto analitico, gli strumenti. Le problematiche connesse all’uso del termine femminicidio sono esplorate ponendo al centro il processo normativo, esplorandone i significati sociali e questionando gli ancoraggi politici e economici, attraverso il modello del “campo giuridico”. Mediante l’analisi di un corpus di 370 sentenze, andate in giudizio tra il 2010 e il 2016 e attraverso la conduzione di 30 interviste ad altrettanti testimoni privilegiati il discorso giuridico sulla violenza di genere è criticamente s…
Intimate partner violence and perinatal health: a systematic review
2019

Selection criteria Observational studies that examined perinatal health outcomes (i.e. pre-term birth, low birthweight, miscarriage, perinatal death, and premature rupture of membranes) in pregnant women exposed to IPV…

Male violence against women: Integration between psychological and neuroscientific data and their use in forensic evaluation for the judgments
2020
Human growth and development, starting from conception, are characterized by a progressive increase in body and organ dimensions, as well as specific functional maturity, under the influence of genetic as well as environmental and epigenetic determinants. Beyond a possible normal familial trait, increased fetal growth resulting in a large for gestational age newborn, isolated macrosomia or that associated with congenital malformation, can be attributable to both maternal metabolic and genetic pathology. Overgrowth syndromes are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by excessive tissue development often concomitant to neurodevelopmental involvement. Recently, an increased risk of f…
Significati, ruoli e simboli nella partecipazione attiva di giovani organizzati in bande, gang e gruppi violenti
2021
The youth gangs are groups of young people who find commonality in the same values and cultural models that oppose the norms of society. The acts of violence perpetrated against the community, most often gratuitously, by groups of more or less structured young people, are an expression of actions that push away the goal of peace, most often a not shared objective. The motivations behind the decision to join gangs are diverse. They can range from sharing a model based on the use of violence, to the assimilation of aggressive and oppositional attitudes towards the native society, to the adoption of illegal behaviour also typical of criminal organisations. Over time, the groups, called in diff…
Does country-level gender equality explain individual risk of intimate partner violence against women? A multilevel analysis of individual heterogene…
2019
Abstract Background Gender equality is widely accepted as an important explanatory factor for the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. However, the relationship is not straightforward, as high country-level gender equality is not always associated with lower IPV prevalence. We apply ‘multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy’ (MAIHDA) to (i) quantify the extent to which the country of residence determines individual risk of IPV and (ii) investigate the association between country-level gender equality and individual experience of IPV, and to which extent this association explains the observed between-country differences. Methods Usin…
Framing Social Work Discourses of Violence Against Women. Insights From Finland and India
2021
Violence against women (VAW) is a global social problem. In India, its high prevalence is connected to gender inequality, whereas Finland suffers from the so-called Nordic Paradox—that is, the existence of both gender equality and a high prevalence of VAW. This qualitative study employed a critical constructioniist approach and frame analysis to analyze data from interviews with Finnish (n =20) and Mumbai (n =18) social workers. We asked how social workers frame their response to VAW and how ways of framing elucidate institutional practices that facilitate the interventions. Anti-oppressive, juridical, procedural, and collaborational frames revealed institutional practices mirroring how soc…
construcción de una europa más igualitaria desde la protección de las víctimas de violencia de género
2021
El propósito de este artículo es analizar las aristas de la Directiva sobre la Orden Europea de Protección cuando se trata de proteger a las víctimas de violencia de género. El inexistente concepto de víctima de violencia de género dificulta sobremanera el adecuado uso del instrumento y nos muestra cuánta Europa queda por construir. Al final del artículo proponemos la creación de una medida cautelar civil para acercarnos al resto de ordenamientos jurídicos de nuestro entorno y facilitar el reconocimiento mutuo.
