Ball, J. (1997). Male sexual abuse: The stories <strong>of</strong> six New Zealand men. Unpublished master’s thesis,University <strong>of</strong> Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13181.pubTopic Areas: Child abuse and neglect, Sexual abuse, Violence against men, Cultural factors,Gender, Drug and alcohol abuse, Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This study examined how sexual abuse during childhood affected 6 men, andinvestigated the participants’ beliefs and attitudes towards the sexual abuse <strong>of</strong> men. In-depthinterviews provided data concerning men’s perceptions <strong>of</strong> societal views regarding the sexualabuse <strong>of</strong> males. Other topics investigated included the long- and short-term effects <strong>of</strong> sexualabuse, disclosure issues, the significance <strong>of</strong> the sex <strong>of</strong> the abuser on the men’s dealing withbeing abused and participant’s views concerning potential relationships between being abusedand becoming an abuser. Analysis <strong>of</strong> the results revealed that the participants believed thatthe abuse <strong>of</strong> men is generally ignored and denied by society, especially in regard to the sexualabuse <strong>of</strong> boys by women. Participants asserted that females are much more likely to beperceived as victims by the general public than males are, and that society finds it easier tocomprehend the sexual assault <strong>of</strong> females than the sexual assault <strong>of</strong> males. Other findings <strong>of</strong>this <strong>research</strong> include that for some men in this study, being sexually abused creates fearsabout being thought <strong>of</strong> as gay or <strong>of</strong> being gay and led them to feel the need to prove theirmasculinity. Further, the participants in this study had heard <strong>of</strong> a connection between beingsexually abused and becoming an abuser, and felt deeply concerned that some people assumethat males who have been abused are likely to molest children. The men believed that theyhad developed a variety <strong>of</strong> short- and long-term effects <strong>of</strong> sexual abuse similar to those notedin the literature, such as interpersonal difficulties, alcohol and drug problems, eatingproblems, problems with their aggression, confusion over sexual orientation, and fear <strong>of</strong> andinability to initiate sexual relationships. Whether or not these problems could be a partialoutcome <strong>of</strong> their sexual abuse experiences could not be ascertained from the present <strong>research</strong>.It is recommended that an increase in public awareness regarding the abuse <strong>of</strong> male children,committed by both men and women, would make it easier for males to disclose that they havebeen abused. Suggestions for further <strong>research</strong> are included.Source: Author’s abstractBarnes, J. (2001). The use <strong>of</strong> firearms in intimate murder-suicide in Australia and New Zealand. NewZealand Sociology, 16(1), 242-250.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13099.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Physical abuse, Psychological/emotional abuse, Sexualabuse, Homicide, Suicide/self-harm, Women, GenderAbstract: The purpose <strong>of</strong> this article is to present an examination <strong>of</strong> murder-suicide as aprogression from domestic <strong>violence</strong>. Murder-suicide usually occurs in the context <strong>of</strong> anintimate relationship, with the majority <strong>of</strong> perpetrators being male, and the victims being theirfemale partners and/or children. During the period 1993 to 1998, New Zealand had 29murder-suicides cases, in which 63 people died. Murder-suicide is viewed as being at theextreme end on a continuum <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong>. In a high proportion <strong>of</strong> cases, <strong>violence</strong>characterises the relationship preceding the occurrence <strong>of</strong> murder-suicide. Most murdersuicidesoccur in the home, and a firearm is the weapon <strong>of</strong> choice in the majority <strong>of</strong> cases.Murder-suicide is discussed as an extreme form <strong>of</strong> sexual <strong>violence</strong> in the context <strong>of</strong> themale’s penchant for power and control, and the oppression <strong>of</strong> women. The author advocatesfor stringent gun control measures, as firearms play a significant role in converting domestic10
<strong>violence</strong> <strong>into</strong> murder.Bartlett, E. (2005). Is domestic <strong>violence</strong> increasing or decreasing?

Wellington, New Zealand: Unpublished report for the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Justice.See: www.nzfvc.org.nz/13316.pubTopic Areas: Intimate partner abuse, Child abuse and neglect, Justice, Protection orders,Demographics/statisticsAbstract: This report examines administrative data that is available on <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong> in thejustice sector, and looks at whether the data could be used to determine changes in the levels<strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong> within New Zealand. Statistics from reported <strong>of</strong>fences, prosecuted charges,convictions, and protection orders are presented, and the author discusses some <strong>of</strong> the policy,legislative and social contextual factors that could influence the trends in the variousmeasures <strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong>. The report shows that since 2002, there has been an increase in<strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong>-related <strong>of</strong>fences and prosecutions, while there has been a decline in thenumber <strong>of</strong> applications for protection orders. The author maintains, however, that this datacannot easily determine changes in the underlying levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong> in New Zealandsociety. Regular analysis <strong>of</strong> justice sector data, linked closely to contextual changes, isrecommended.Barwick, H., Gray, A., & Macky, R. (2000).

In 1998, the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Justice and the Department forCourts commissioned a scoping study to identify issues and data sources prior to a fullevaluation <strong>of</strong> the Act. The scoping study informs the present report. The process evaluationincluded a range <strong>of</strong> data, including: statistics from the Department <strong>of</strong> Courts DomesticViolence Act National Database, Ministry <strong>of</strong> Justice and New Zealand Police <strong>of</strong>fences; courtfile applications; national survey to Family Court Judges, coordinators and lawyers;interviews with legal personnel, programme providers, community groups, DomesticViolence Act applicants, respondents, and domestic <strong>violence</strong> victims; and lastly, best practicecase studies. Interviews were also conducted with a number <strong>of</strong> informants in positions at anational level.The authors discuss the barriers to accessing the Act, processes for creating protection orders,responses to police enforcement, and participation in programmes. Other issues discussed inthe report are views <strong>of</strong> the Act, safety, training, paperwork and interagency relationships.Lastly, the report presents the authors’ suggested improvements to the Act, including service<strong>of</strong> documents, linking protected persons with programmes, exchange <strong>of</strong> information with theDistrict Court, and following up respondent programme attendance.Basher, G.
