The present study has as main aim to compare the frequency of physical violence and injuries among couples that report bidirectional and unidirectional violence in a community sample in Arequipa, Peru. This comparison also accounted for the level of severity in violence and injuries. Several previous studies have suggested that reciprocal violence could be the most common pattern of violence in intimate relationships. Relationships, where both members are violent to each other, could also be at a higher risk of violence, both in frequency and severity, since symmetrical interactions can provoke it to escalate. Likewise, injuries have been found to be more common in bidirectional violence. However, this type of violence has not been previously studied in Peru. Additionally, a comparison between genders of the participants was made. Different studies, including one in Peru, have suggested that men and women have the same risk of suffering violence from an intimate partner, so this objective was directed to help clarify this, at least in a community sample. The participants were 280 people with ages between 18 and 65 years, 50.7 % women and 49.3 % men, who were married or cohabiting and living in three districts of Arequipa. The Conflicts Tactics Scale Revised was used, in the version that assesses behaviors of both members of a couple (Straus et al., 1996). The subscales of physical violence and injuries, and the levels proposed by the scale of minor and severe, where used for the analysis. According to the results, 73.5 % of the participants reported at least one incident of violence, 61.4 % presenting bidirectional violence and 12.1 % unidirectional violence. The information provided by these participants was the one used for the analysis. In addition, a higher number of participants, of the ones in the unidirectional violence group, reported perpetrating violence than participants that reported being victims of violence by their partner. In comparisons across gender, no significant difference in the frequency of violence or injuries was found, neither in relationships with bidirectional nor unidirectional violence nor in minor or severe violence or injuries. In the comparison across types of violence, significant differences between unidirectional and bidirectional violence were found in both levels of severity of violence (U = 625.0, p < .001, for minor violence; U = 1335.0, p < .001, for severe violence), where the effect size for minor violence was moderate (rrb =.506, p < .001) and for severe violence was weak (rrb = .301, p < .001). Differences were also found in frequency of injuries between these two types of violence (U = 1898.5, p < .001, for minor injuries; U = 2225.0, p < .01, for severe injuries). In this case the effect size was weak for both comparisons (rrb =.255, p < .001, for minor injuries; rrb = .209, p < .01, for severe injuries). The results show that men and women have a similar risk of suffering violence and having injuries because of it. However, they also describe that a higher risk exists in couples where violence is bidirectional, and that should be taken into account in intervention aspects on the subject. For future research on the topic, other types of intimate partner violence should be considered, such as psychological or sexual abuse, as well as other variables that could affect the experience of the victim, such as controlling behaviors. Furthermore, research that clarifies interactions that lead to violence by members of the couple and aspects that lead to desistance in the use of violence is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay analyzes the agency of women confronting gender violence in the Unalahua community located in Salcedo-Ecuador. Violence is perpetrated mainly by women's partners in domestic spaces. Based on a set of interviews and field observations, this text analyzes the tools that women have used to respond to this violence. Phenomena such as gender violence, high rates of poverty in rural areas, silence as a strategy to mitigate violence, "strike back", and clandestine networks of support and containment, contribute to the thinking of other forms of agency in the face of violence in rural areas. Given this scenario, women proved to be "active agents" in the construction of a different reality based on their own experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Identify the levels of perception of insecurity and community victimization (direct, indirect and contextual); compare the levels of perception of insecurity according to elements of structural vulnerability (gender, educational level and social class); to analyze the association between types of community victimization with gender, educational level, social class and level of perception of insecurity. Methodology: A comparative and correlational study was carried out with a non-probability sample made up of 310 students (55,8% women and 44,2% men), with an age range of 13 to 24 years, belonging to different educational levels (junior-high school, high-school and college). Results: Moderate levels of perception of insecurity (M=17,2; SD=5.2) were found, and a predominance of indirect and direct victimization for crimes such as robbery (47,7% indirect; 27,1% direct) and assault (34,8% indirect; 15,2% direct). Contextual victimization is linked to high impact crimes such as homicide (31,9%) and disappearance (21,3%). Women experience a greater perception of insecurity [t(308) = 4,27; p <0,001], direct sexual harassment [x² (1) = 40,61; p <0,001], and more frequently report sexual violence [x² (1) = 30,03; p <0,001] and disappearance [x² (1) = 13,53; p <0,001] in their community. College level is closer to direct and contextual sexual violence [x²(18) = 21,53; p = 0,253]. Belonging to a higher class was closer with direct and indirect victimization for robbery, as well as reporting disappearances in the community [x²(27) = 19,87; p = 0,836]. Conclusions: Gender was the element of structural vulnerability that was most associated with community victimization and the perception of insecurity. A high perception of insecurity is linked to direct victimization, as well as the occurrence of high impact crimes in the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article deals with gender-sex violence as a significant expression of the structural nature of gender and sexuality in migratory processes. From the biographical approach, expressions of the multiple forms that this violence acquires (direct, structural, cultural) are addressed in the narratives of ten cis and trans migrant women of Latin American origin who reside in the cities of Antofagasta and Santiago, located in the north and central Chile, respectively, and who have an active participation in social organizations that carry out community care tasks, although these labours are not part of the purposes and main actions of these organizations. The approach is carried out around the idea of politicization in two senses: first, from the proposal to politicize sex-gender violence —that is, to make visible the power relations that make it possible and the historical processes that have led to the construction of “violent” bodies and lives from the framework that intersects gender and sexuality with foreignness, ethnicity, “race” and class, among other dimensions—; and, second, from the analysis of experiences of politicization of some of these migrant women in which this sex-gender violence is re-signified as the engine of their social participation, a re-signification crossed by the tensions and contradictions that this channeling of participatory action in tasks characterized by sex-gender inequality such as care implies. Although it is concluded that the scope of these experiences in the transformation of this sex-gender violence is fundamentally limited to the individual scale of intradomestic violence, it is proposed that these organizational experiences, in their daily actions and practices, silently and in the long run term undermine the liminality of the foreigner in relation to the recognition of rights by the State of residence, which harbors transformative potentialities of the idea of citizenship, at least from that practical dimension.

The administration of justice must provide effective jurisdictional protection to all citizens, so it must adopt measures for access to justice to populations in conditions of vulnerability, such as peasant communities, being necessary previously to make an adequate identification of accessibility barriers to justice in these populations; For this reason, it is proposed to hold public hearings as a dialogue mechanism that allows identifying the existence of those barriers that limit citizens to access the justice system, that is, from the creation of open and intercultural dialogue spaces where judges They interact with the members of a certain community and are able to know directly, the way of life, the reality, the difficulties and obstacles to accessing justice. The research used the qualitative methodology, where documentary analyzes were carried out, findings through the hearings and that will allow to have a perspective on the administration of justice with populations traditionally marginalized by the State itself in the social structure, which also enables them to manifest their Right to participation helping to avoid conflicts and violence in the peasant communities of the Junín Region.

This work presents an intervention to promote reading and writing in a high school located in a community with marginalization and violence. The participatory action research methodology was used. Interest was sought through aesthetic reading and creative writing, through universal literature texts and texts on violence. Likewise, promote reflection and dialogue to stop normalizing practices of violence and understand the phenomenon to guide actions. The group consisted of 24 young people between the ages of 14 and 16. The evaluation was carried out through surveys -an initial and a final one-, participant observation logs, as well as reading and writing exercises. The results reveal an evident progress in reading-writing practices, as well as in reflection and dialogue for the denaturalization of violence. However, it is reaffirmed that the precarious conditions in which the educational institution finds itself constitute an obstacle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reimagining a community on the basis of vulnerability entails recognizing our responsibility vis-à-vis those who prosper and those who do not persist because they are abandoned or eliminated. The recognition of our vulnerability allows us to find other forms of community that, built upon the human bonds of protection, escape the abstraction of the value of life, bearing in mind, instead, the socio-political conditions that sustain it, especially when they fail. This is not an easy task in contexts marked by violence. The main issues addressed in this paper are: the recognition of vulnerability, violence as a rupture of interdependence, and our responsibility towards others. Examining our vulnerability can become the cornerstone of another community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gendered violence also exists within young couples. This is based on data from murdered women under the age of 20. This paper analyses the relationship between sexist attitudes (roles and qualities) in adolescents and young people, and how these attitudes would have an impact on beliefs about the formation of unequal relationships which are tolerant of gender violence and are influenced by family socialization. It is based on a quantitative cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative study using a Likert scale questionnaire. The sample was made up of a total of 1594 students of ESO andHigh School. The data analysis was carried out using IMB SPSS Statistics 19.0, with bivariate techniques. The results point towards the persistence of gender bias, likewise being these clearly mapped. The results also present the advances and setbacks in the conceptualization of gender-based violence. These can also be clearly mapped out when comparing the data obtained in both studies. In conclusion, the implementation of initiatives aimed at promoting equality and eradicating gendered violence, from different areas of intervention, must be incorporated through the gender perspective and with the coordination of co-educational.

Introduction: Introduction: On March 14, 2020, the Spanish Government declared a state of alarm to face the health emergency situation caused by the rapid evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. The greatest impact of the restrictions applied by the lack of contact with the main areas of socialization has been on childhood and adolescence. The increase in the rates of family violence and the abusive consumption of gambling or pornography show the need to reinforce family prevention measures. Methodology: a review of the main family prevention measures applied in Spain was carried out. They are classified according to the levels of prevention (primary / educational-secondary / socio-educational-tertiary / psychological) and complementary measures identified at the international level are proposed. Results: a large part of the Spanish prevention measures are tertiary in nature. Psychological telephone support was the measure most widely applied in the different regions of the Spanish state. Discussion: Despite the emerging risks in Spanish households during confinement by COVID-19, no resources were identified so that families can effectively manage daily family dynamics. Conclusions: the need to provide primary risk prevention resources, aimed at improving family communication and parental skills, in order to reduce rates of family violence and the inappropriate use of ICT by children and adolescents, is concluded.

For several years (and until the moment of his death caused by State violence) the Colombian sociologist Alfredo Correa de Andreis inquired about forced displacement in the Colombian Caribbean. His research findings can be found in several academic publications, especially in the books: "Desplazamiento interno forzado, identidad social y restablecimiento urbano [Internal forced displacement, social identity and urban resettlement]" and "Pistas para un nuevo rumbo (Clue for a new course)". His findings allowed Correa to construct two categories of analysis to address the comprehension of forced displacement and its consequences: social identity and legal personality. A rigorous process of participatory action research (PAR), a methodology inherited from the work of Orlando Fals-Borda, lead Correa de Andreis to an intimate involvement with urban resettlement areas of Barranquilla and Cartagena, to work with local communities displaced by violence. Through his work, Correa De Andreis addressed social processes in which he found a direct correlation between displacement and armed conflict. Also understanding that the displaced populatio-peasant and minority-not only lose their lands, but also their social fabric and the network of social relationships with those who were part of their contexts. Likewise, he analyzed the challenges that the structuring of his legal personality has in the restoration process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High scores on the Historical Clinical Risk Management (HCR-20) and the Psychopathy Checklist- Screening Version (PCL:SV) are traditionally associated to risk of violent behaviour in mentally disordered persons. The present work explores the relation between both instruments and violence inside and outside a forensic psychiatric hospital in a sample of mentally-disordered males (n = 29). Results indicate that both instruments are associated with institutional violence, whereas they appear to be independent of community violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exposure to community violence among adolescents is not a recent phenomenon, the consequences have an impact on their development and performance. In Mexico there are few approaches on the issue despite its current relevance. This paper presents a qualitative approach using focus groups which allowed to know the characteristics of violence in the community to which students are exposed, as in the world literature found that older adolescents are more exposed. Although both men and women are considered equally exposed, men who reported more events and greater violence. Finally the analysis with Atlas.ti release is achieved conceptual organization allowing his later work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper some preliminary results are presented, obtained by the application of several surveys between secondary school students. The main objective of this research was to quantify the different kinds of violence that could suffer young female students in this educative level, as well as the relationship among violence living at home, violence living in their colonies and violence living at the school. Violence to women, girls and young ladies is a complex phenomenon and wide spread in Mexican Society, like official statistics reveal; and a good example are warning signs elaborated by the ENDIREH (National Survey over the Dynamic of the Relationships en the Household): over 50% of the marriage women have suffer at least one event of gender violence. Violence on girls and young ladies could cause scholar desertion (Ayala, Zapata and Martínez, 2009) and this situation is mortgage for the families because, like Kabeer point out, education access has a positive effect over daughters and sons. Is well known that women suffer more violence at household, but, women could suffer violence in other kind of places, like in their hometowns and schools. In community level, 40% of the women, who responses the ENDIREH affirmed they have suffer any type of violence; of this last group, 31% has undergo sexual abuse in their community, the rest of the sample (69%) has felt intimidated in community environment. In this way, we can talk about women vulnerability. In Guanajuato state, this figure is a little bit lower, due to 35% of women, in the survey, have affirmed they suffer violence in the community environment. In this sense, 13.4% of women in the ENDIREH survey mentioned they have suffered violence at the school; however, this number is lower compared to national levels of violence at the schools, where 15.7% of women affirmed they have been attacked.

The security discourse has historically been reserved for masculine elite. Feminist approaches towards security studies elaborated mainly by Ann Tickner (1995) and Valerie M. Hudson (2012) state that the security-masculinity association extends into civilian life in the sense that gender inequality is a form of violence. Studies that relate urban security with a gender perspective are rare, therefore limiting effective solutions due to the occurrence of violence inside the cities. There is a lack of a gender perspective in the making of security policies in Latin America, provoking greater violence, crime and inequality. This article recommends that a gender approach to urban security represents a novel alternative to solve problems of violence and insecurity in cities. The study case that was chosen to demonstrate this was the city of Caracas. Applying a gender perspective will provide knowledge not only for this particular case but also for other cities in Latin America. The paper focuses on results of research led by the WomanStats organization that facilitates the understanding of the relationship between the situation of women and the security of nationstates (WomanStats.org). It also contributes to gender and urban security studies in an effort for reconsidering the meanings of peace and security from a feminist perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When analyzing rural violence, a first case presented to the countries of the Americas is the first violence of dispossession of European conquest. But also, violence has been linked to inequality of rural land system that is mounted in the countries of Latin America. In this case, the violence associated with rural conflicts, is based on the problem of land (KAY, 2003). In the Argentine countryside can be seen that the violence has taken on different forms and now, in the time of deployment of agribusiness, is expressed in the increased activity of armed groups who harass individual farm families, and generally act together with forces government security in evicting them, and killing peasants or indigenous. It can be assumed that rural violence in Argentina is expressing, in addition to the existence of weak democratic devices, the intensity of the bidding for the use of areas that still bear a significant endowment of natural resources: The Battle for the last pockets of biodiversity in Argentina . The presence of state and private violence against rural populations, is accompanied by a large battery of public policy and organs of civil society around the "land", seeking to institutionalize conflict for control and use of the environment, without changing the productivist conception of exploitation. In sum, an important vector of rural deterritorializing in XXI century Argentina seem to be violence. At present, the assertion of power from courts and state security forces or security groups from private companies on peasants and indigenous communities, has become so common for cornering and dispossession, and the processes of economic nature such as deregulation of agriculture. The importance of its analysis, in the light of the earth conflictuality, is that violence seems to unfold as an instrument. Therefore we propose to advance the record of this problem and explore the nature and extent of an invisible reality in a country like Argentina, where raw hyper-modern discourse based on the expansion of the knowledge society in agriculture.
