Police officers and male victim’s experiences in understanding female intimate partner violence behaviours – CALL OUT for participants

Ali Jafar has contacted me to ask me to share the details of his study (based at the University of Huddersfield) as far and wide as possible. He is looking for male victims of female interpersonal violence (over 18) and police officers who have reported to cases with male victims of female interpersonal violence who would be willing to be interviewed.

From his Information Sheet:

”You are being invited to take part in a study about men’s experiences of female offending behaviour and the criminal justice system following female perpetrated intimate partner violence. Before you decide to take part it is important that you understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Please take time to read the following information carefully and discuss it me if you wish. Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything that is not clear or if you would like more information.

“The purpose of this study is to see what experiences you had when you suffered intimate partner violence from your female partner. To explore your understanding of their offending behaviour, details of the actual offence, what experiences you had in being the victim, how you responded to the intimate partner violence and your role in the relationship. The study also explores your experiences of the criminal justice system when you reported being a victim of intimate partner violence and what support you had after.

”All information disclosed within the interview will be kept confidential, unless you indicate that you or anyone else is at risk of serious harm, in which case I would need to pass this information to the relevant agencies.

“All information collected from you during this research will be kept secure and any identifying material, such as names will be removed in order to ensure anonymity. It is anticipated that the research may, at some point, be published in a journal or report. However, should this happen, your anonymity will be ensured, although it may be necessary to use your words in the presentation of the findings and your permission for this is included in the consent form.”

If you would like to participate, please contact Ali Jafar at: U1472043@unimail.hud.ac.uk

The Face of Suffrage?

Our thanks to Max for bringing this project to our attention.

“Our idea was to celebrate 100 years of women’s right to vote by creating a highly visible artwork, composed of new and old photographs revealing all kinds of women and girls from the past as well as present day. It marks a close to the centenary with a bold visual statement, pointing to the future yet remaining in public memory. It not only commemorates & celebrates an important year for women but also will educate & inspire.”

The terrifying rise of the Father’s Rights groups

Utterly abysmal LinkedIn post that argues, amongst falsehoods, that a presumption of 50/50 shared parenting in family courts would endanger women and children from abusive fathers… The light is in the comments section.

The decline of female hypergamy and rise hypogamy

A highly interesting study looking at the impact, of the reversal of the educational gender gap in favour of women (plus rising male unemployment), on relationships.

The prevalence of hypergamy (women “marrying up”) is in decline and hypogamy (women “marrying down”) is rising. While most studies on hypergamy/homogamy/hypogamy only take educational attainment into account, this study also looks at earnings and finds that 10% of relationships between couples aged 25-45 are hypogamous which apparently makes it more common than hypergamy…
