  • Women’s disengagement from Legal Proceedings for intimate partner violence: Sociodemographic and psychological variables
    The European Journal of Psychology Applied to Legal Context, 2016
    Co-Authors: María Jesús Cala, M. Eva Trigo, Francisco J. Saavedra
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study is to shed light on what makes women decide whether or not to continue with Legal Proceedings for intimate partner violence once they have commenced. Legal professionals, members of the police force, and women in Spain were interviewed to help draft a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of 345 women who had undertaken Legal Proceedings against their (ex)partners. Socio-demographic, emotional, and psychological variables were considered as possible predictor variables and included in a logistic regression analysis. Results show that the best equation for predicting disengagement from Legal procedures includes the level of support received by the victim, contact with the aggressor, thoughts about going back with the aggressor, and a feeling of guilt. The essential role of the psychological support during the Legal process is emphasized in conclusions

  • Children’s Participation in Legal Proceedings: Stress, Coping, and Consequences
    Advances in Psychology and Law, 2016
    Co-Authors: Helen M. Milojevich, Jodi A. Quas, Jason Z. Yano
    Abstract:

    Participating in Legal Proceedings can be highly distressing and potentially detrimental to children’s well-being, both immediately and over time. In this review, we discuss how children cope with such participation. We focus primarily on children’s experiences and coping when they witnessed or endured crimes and are subsequently involved in criminal or dependency cases, though when possible we include evidence of children’s coping when involved in divorce cases. In the first section, we describe the most challenging, or stressful, facets of Legal cases for children. In the second section, we discuss characteristics within children and in their external environment that likely modulate how they cope with Legal involvement. We also offer several recommendations about methods that should facilitate children’s coping and reduce potential harm during the case and after it has ended. We close by highlighting several critical questions that remain regarding how best to facilitate children’s involvement in and coping with Legal involvement.
