The Prevalence of sexual abuse in institutions : Results from a representative population-based sample in Germany
2018
The lifetime prevalence of sexual abuse in institutional settings in Germany was examined in a sample representative of the general adult population (N = 2,437). Participants completed a survey on whether they had ever experienced such abuse, its nature (contact, noncontact, forced sexual, intercourse), the type of institution (e.g. school, club), and the relationship of perpetrator to victim (peer, caregiver, staff member). Overall, 3.1% of adult respondents (women: 4.8%, men: 0.8%) reported having experienced some type of sexual abuse in institutions. Adult women reported higher rates of all types than did men, with rates of 3.9% versus 0.8% for contact sexual abuse, 1.2% versus 0.3% for …

Effects of Intervention Program Prev@cib on Traditional Bullying and Cyberbullying
2019
Due to the negative consequences of being bullied and the increase in cyberbullying among adolescents, there is a need for evidence-based programs to prevent and intervene in these types of peer violence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Prev@cib bullying and cyberbullying program, drawing on three theoretical frameworks: the ecological model, empowerment theory, and the model of personal and social responsibility. The Prev@cib program was evaluated using a repeated-measures pre-post-test design with an experimental group and a control group. The sample consisted of 660 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old (M = 13.58, SD = 1.26), randomly assigned to the exp…
Sequential analyses in coercive mother-child interaction: the predictability hypothesis in abusive versus nonabusive dyads.
1999
Abstract Objective: A two-fold purpose guided the present study: 1) To test the sequential relationship between the child’s aversive behavior and both the predictability and the compliance episodes, as well as the sequential relationship between these two mothering episodes proposed by the new predictability hypothesis (Wahler, Williams, & Cerezo, 1990) ; 2) to explore whether or not these patterns are specific to these dysfunctional dyads by using a nonabusive comparison group. Method: Fifty mother-child dyads, 25 abusive and 25 nonabusive, participated in this study. Lag sequential analyses were carried out on 302 hours of direct observation, 178 hours in the abusive group, and 124 in the…
Zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa osadzonych w przestrzeni izolacji więziennej
2019
Pomimo wielu przeobrażeń systemowych i penitencjarnych zjawisko nieformalnej degradacji nadal występuje, a skazani poszkodowani (zdegradowani) reprezentują specyficzną grupę osób odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. Ich specyfika wynika zarówno z tego, kim są (cech osobowości), jak i z traktowania ich przez ogół kryminalnej populacji. W artykule opisano wyniki autorskich badań na temat funkcjonowania poszkodowanych w polskich więzieniach ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem (poczucia) bezpieczeństwa. Istotne było zbadanie czynników, które owo poczucie determinują, czyli: przyczyn degradacji więziennej; relacji interpersonalnych, jakie zachodzą pomiędzy chronionymi a pozostałymi więźniami (gryps…
Recovery of immune control over herpes simplex virus type 1 in female victims of intimate partner violence.
2009
Objectives: To assess the course of immune control over Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) through three salivary measures: neutralization of HSV-1, levels of specific antibody against HSV-1 (HSV-1-sIgA) and total immunoglobulin A (total sIgA), and to determine the factors that contribute to its recovery or deterioration. Several studies have demonstrated that intimate partner violence (IPV) affects immune responses in women, but none have investigated the impact longitudinally over time. Methods: Women (n = 60), who participated in our previous cross-sectional study (T-1) and who had been either physically/psychologically (n = 22) or psychologically abused (n = 14) by their partners, were…
Terroryzm islamski a bezpieczeństwo globalne
2016
Gwałtowny wzrost liczby zamachów terrorystycznych na przełomie XX i XXI w. w wymiarze międzynarodowych wyraźnie wskazuje na zwiększenie aktywności ugrupowań terrorystycznych o charakterze religijnym, który kojarzony był z ugrupowaniami terrorystycznymi o rodowodzie islamskim. Aktywność tych ugrupowań była ukierunkowana na przeprowadzanie różnego typu ataków w wielu częściach świata, co w naturalny sposób odczytane było jako prowadzenie działań terrorystycznych w skali globalnej. Z jednej strony ataki terrorystyczne powodowały liczne ofiary wśród ludności cywilnej oraz ogromne straty materialne, z drugiej fundamentaliści islamscy osiągnęli inny bardzo ważny dla nich cel propagandowy – wywoła…
La "razionalità" delle vittime di estorsione e l'impatto dell'overload informativo
2016
Il capitolo presenta un breve excursus tra le contrapposte interpretazioni del fenomeno mafioso e in particolare di quello estorto. Prende poi in considerazione i concetti di incertezza, rischio e overload informativo per vedere come sono stati trattati dalla teoria sociologica contemporanea e come è possibile utilizzare tali concetti nell'interpretazione dello stato delle vittime di estorsione. Si analizzano infine la prospettiva culturista nella sua versione 2.0 e gli effetti dell'overload informativo sulle vittime. The chapter presents a brief excursus between the opposing interpretations of the mafia phenomenon and in particular of the extorted one. It then takes into consideration the …
Maquerelles et maquerellage au XVe siècle, d'après quelques sources dijonnaises.
2006
International audience; Dans un colloque consacré aux récits de maquerellage et proxénétisme dans la littérature médiévale, cette communication tente l'analyse historique de ce phénomène social à partir de quelques registres judiciaires ou de papiers de police appartenant aux archives de Dijon. On y découvre plus de maquerelles que de maquereaux. Occasionnelles ou professionnelles , ces entremetteuses dévoilent une société intermédiaire où la femme délinquante et la femme victime se rejoignent dans une même condamnation morale et une pareille exclusion sociale.
Prevalence of bullying victimisation amongst first-episode psychosis patients and unaffected controls
2013
Background—Despite increasing evidence suggesting that childhood maltreatment is significantly associated with psychosis, the specific role of bullying in the onset of psychotic disorders is still unclear. This study aimed to examine whether bullying was more prevalent amongst individuals presenting to services for the first time with a psychotic disorder than in unaffected community controls. Methods—Data on exposure to bullying, psychotic symptoms, cannabis use and history of conduct disorder were collected cross-sectionally from 222 first-presentation psychosis cases and 215 geographically-matched controls. Bullying victimisation was assessed retrospectively as part of the Brief Life Eve…
