In her article, Buckingham reviewed <strong>research</strong>put forward in Newbold’s work and a criminology PhD thesis by Samantha Jeffries, GenderJudgements: An Investigation <strong>of</strong> Gender Differentiation in Sentencing and Remand in NewZealand, co-supervised by Newbold, that finds discrimination against men in the NewZealand criminal justice system. In particular, Buckingham argues that the way in which thiscontroversial and high pr<strong>of</strong>ile media approach to criminology treats domestic <strong>violence</strong> againstwomen, can influence and mislead both the general public and public policy. At the heart <strong>of</strong>this debate is the question <strong>of</strong> gender asymmetry in domestic <strong>violence</strong> and the selective use <strong>of</strong><strong>research</strong> to support this. In particular, <strong>research</strong> from the longitudinal DunedinMultidisciplinary Health and Development Study is cited. One perspective on this <strong>research</strong>, asfavoured by Newbold, claims that both men and women have similar rates for committingpartner abuse; whilst the alternative view finds men 4 times more likely to be the perpetrator.In his response, aside from questioning the appropriateness <strong>of</strong> PhD students critiquing thesesin international peer-reviewed journals, Newbold claims that Buckingham selectivelymisrepresents his work, for instance, ignoring his more recent publication, co-authored withGlennis Dennehy, The Girls in the Gang, which looks at the physical and psychologicaloppression <strong>of</strong> women in the domestic context <strong>of</strong> the gang. Newbold contends that the justicesystem appears to pathologise women and see them as victims, <strong>of</strong>ten leading to a lessersentence. Some case studies <strong>of</strong> women who have violently <strong>of</strong>fended against their children orpartners, taken from Jeffries’ PhD thesis, are used as examples to illustrate gender bias in thejustice system. However, Newbold agrees that men do more damage when they are theperpetrators <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong> due to their greater physical strength. Newbold argues thatBuckingham has taken his <strong>research</strong> out <strong>of</strong> context, leading to gross distortion andmisinterpretation <strong>of</strong> his work, and denies any undue influence over Jeffries’ PhD findings.Newbold recognises that unequal power relations between men and women contribute to thecontext <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>violence</strong>, and concurs with Buckingham that different <strong>research</strong> methodswill produce differing results, so must be interpreted cautiously. He argues, however, thatBuckingham’s article goes beyond a difference <strong>of</strong> interpretation <strong>of</strong> <strong>research</strong> findings and is‘polemical’.Newton, D. (2001).

Abstract: This thesis presents a qualitative <strong>research</strong> project that explores children’ssubjective experiences <strong>of</strong> <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong> and identifies any ameliorating factors that helpedchildren to cope. The <strong>research</strong> is placed within the context <strong>of</strong> the sociology <strong>of</strong> childhoodparadigm where children are viewed as social actors in their own right. The study involvedtwo small groups <strong>of</strong> children, aged between 5 and 12 years, who had lived with <strong>family</strong><strong>violence</strong>. The study utilised a variety <strong>of</strong> methods, namely focus group discussions, one-ononeinterviews, sentence completion tasks, and children’s artwork. All <strong>of</strong> the children hadparticipated in and completed the 10-week Family Violence Education Programme, run bythe two Women’s Refuges in Dunedin. The results are presented in themes; however, the keytheme <strong>of</strong> <strong>violence</strong> is central to the lives <strong>of</strong> the children, and underpins many, if not all aspects<strong>of</strong> their young lives. The study findings show that children are able to participate in <strong>research</strong>on topics that are highly sensitive and personal, and the author highlights coping strategiesdeveloped and used by children living with <strong>violence</strong>. The <strong>research</strong> concludes withrecommendations for future <strong>research</strong>, as well as for policy development and pr<strong>of</strong>essionalpractice in work with children living with <strong>family</strong> <strong>violence</strong>.Source: Author’s abstractO’Neill, D.

Men against <strong>violence</strong>: A poststructuralist critique <strong>of</strong> the science and practice <strong>of</strong>stopping men’s <strong>violence</strong> to women in an applied community setting.

It also describes some <strong>of</strong> the changes in anindividual that occur as a result <strong>of</strong> participation in the programme. The <strong>research</strong> employedthree data collection methods: participant observation, semi-structured interviewing, andliterature searching. Discourse analysis is the central <strong>research</strong> methodology, which unifiesand connects all three phases <strong>of</strong> the <strong>research</strong> project.A post-structuralist critique <strong>of</strong> the social science theoretical literature surrounding wife abuseforms the first part <strong>of</strong> the study. Five discourses were found to be operating in and informingthe field, between them affording a diverse array <strong>of</strong> theoretical accounts and interventionstrategies. The five discourses were: pathology (where men’s <strong>violence</strong> against their spouse isseen as ‘abnormal’ and understood as being ‘symptomatic’ <strong>of</strong> an underlying ‘pathology’);<strong>violence</strong> as an expression <strong>of</strong> inner tension; <strong>violence</strong> as an instrumental power strategy; wifeabuse as a consequence <strong>of</strong> the broader social system; and <strong>violence</strong> as a learned behaviour.The second phase <strong>of</strong> the study involved a participant observation strategy which exploredhow the MMAV works to stop men’s <strong>violence</strong> in the community. Observations concerningthe discursive content and structure to the programme were made. It was found that MMAVemployed four <strong>of</strong> the five discourses identified in the scientific literature and omitted one -‘pathology’. Implications <strong>of</strong> this discursive structure to the programme are discussed.The third phase <strong>of</strong> the study explored how the MMAV programme impacts upon participant’ssubjectivity. Semi-structured interviews prior to and following participation in a MMAVStopping Violence programme recorded narratives <strong>of</strong> the men as they accounted for their<strong>violence</strong>, the <strong>violence</strong> <strong>of</strong> others in the community, and described their intimate relationships.It was found a change had occurred as a consequence <strong>of</strong> their participation. The mendemonstrated an enhanced self and social awareness whilst exhibiting a greater sense <strong>of</strong> selfdetermination and control. The implications <strong>of</strong> such shifts and continuities are discussed and137
