Neighborhood health, social structure and Family Violence.
Social science research, 2019Co-Authors: Richard Stansfield, Erin DohertyAbstract:Abstract Within a large field of Family Violence research, a slowly growing body of literature has examined community-level variables to explain variation in Violence. Studies investigating the role of ecological factors have largely been informed by social disorganization theory. This represents considerable progress, but the community context also includes many ecological factors yet to be considered by studies examining Family Violence, and as such, successful neighborhood interventions have been limited. Furthermore, few community-level studies have explored whether serious Family Violence is geographically clustered. The current study used police calls for service data to examine how the health context of a community is associated with Family Violence. Accounting for spatial dependence, a higher prevalence of self-reported mental illness in a neighborhood related to Family Violence, although a higher prevalence of physical health difficulties was negatively associated with Family Violence. These results carry implications that can inform community-based efforts, particularly in economically disadvantaged neighborhood, aimed at reducing Family Violence.

Gender, context and constraint: Framing Family Violence in Victoria
Women's Studies International Forum, 2020Co-Authors: Sophie YatesAbstract:Abstract Domestic and Family Violence is a controversial policy issue, especially regarding the role of gender in the causes and solutions. This is further complicated in jurisdictions employing a ‘Family Violence’ approach, where the problem is defined as Violence between any Family members. The 2015–16 Royal Commission into Family Violence had a powerful effect on Family Violence policy in Victoria, Australia. It was thus an important site for contestation over Family Violence framing, which I explore using an interpretive problem framing approach, situating relevant texts along a continuum of problem frames according to their gendered content. I investigate how, in offering solutions to the broadly framed problem of Family Violence, the Commission and contributors to it were potentially influenced or constrained by national and international framings of domestic and Family Violence as a subset of Violence against women. I also consider the risks and benefits of ‘Family Violence’ problem framing.

Family Violence Councils: the Missouri model.
Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP, 1997Co-Authors: Cherie Beauregard-crowe, Lee Cimicata, Geri M. Redden, Michelle Swarmer-witteAbstract:The burden for dealing with Family Violence and its related problems is steadily being shifted toward local communities. Together, the Office of Injury Control in the Missouri Department of Health and National Center for Violence Prevention developed a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to help local communities address Family Violence--the Family Violence Council. The council provides a coordinated structure within the community for protocol and service development and resource sharing. Some of the lessons learned include the importance of moving beyond Family Violence as a "women's issue," grooming local leadership, and fostering early success by setting achievable goals.

Problem gambling and Family Violence: Prevalence and patterns in treatment-seekers
'Elsevier BV', 2020Co-Authors: Dowling, Nicki A, Jackson, Alun C, Suomi Aino, Lavis Tiffany, Thomas Shane A, Patford Janet, Harvey Peter, Battersby M, Koziol-mclain Jane, Abbott MaxAbstract:The primary aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and patterns of Family Violence in treatment-seeking problem gamblers. Secondary aims were to identify the prevalence of problem gambling in a Family Violence victimisation treatment sample and to explore the relationship between problem gambling and Family Violence in other treatment-seeking samples. Clients from 15 Australian treatment services were systematically screened for problem gambling using the Brief Bio-Social Gambling Screen and for Family Violence using single victimisation and perpetration items adapted from the Hurt-Insulted-Threatened-Screamed (HITS): gambling services (n= 463), Family Violence services (n= 95), alcohol and drug services (n= 47), mental health services (n= 51), and financial counselling services (n= 48). The prevalence of Family Violence in the gambling sample was 33.9% (11.0% victimisation only, 6.9% perpetration only, and 16.0% both victimisation and perpetration). Female gamblers were significantly more likely to report victimisation only (16.5% cf. 7.8%) and both victimisation and perpetration (21.2% cf. 13.0%) than male gamblers. There were no other demographic differences in Family Violence prevalence estimates. Gamblers most commonly endorsed their parents as both the perpetrators and victims of Family Violence, followed by current and former partners. The prevalence of problem gambling in the Family Violence sample was 2.2%. The alcohol and drug (84.0%) and mental health (61.6%) samples reported significantly higher rates of any Family Violence than the gambling sample, while the financial counselling sample (10.6%) reported significantly higher rates of problem gambling than the Family Violence sample. The findings of this study support substantial comorbidity between problem gambling and Family Violence, although this may be accounted for by a high comorbidity with alcohol and drug use problems and other psychiatric disorders. They highlight the need for routine screening, assessment and management of problem gambling and Family Violence in a range of services
