Reati endofamiliari e contro i soggetti deboli
Questo volume nasce dallesigenza di aggiornamento in tema di diritto penale di famiglia, toccato da svariati recenti ritocchi legislativi. Sia i maltrattamenti che gli atti persecutori, infatti, sono stati novellati dal decreto di agosto 2013, mentre la sottrazione agli obblighi famigliari risente della riforma in tema di filiazione. Il legislatore ha messo mano anche su alcune norme processuali, incentivando il ricorso alle competenze ripartite (Questore, Centri antiviolenza e Polizia Giudiziaria) e rafforzando i poteri di iniziativa e collaborazione alle indagini da parte della difesa della vittima, a cui è garantito anche un più accessibile patrocinio a spese dello Stato ed un nuovo permesso di soggiorno per motivi di giustizia. Questo libro passa in rassegna tutte le novità legislative ma dà atto della elaborazione giurisprudenziale delle fattispecie degli ultimi dieci anni. Questa pubblicazione è corredata di unampia Appendice, contenente sentenze inedite, note di pregevoli Autori in tema di diritto canonico e dei rapporti tra questo e la violenza famigliare nonché sul lavoro degli psicologi e degli psichiatri su vittime ed offenders.Alessia Sorgato è avvocato cassazionista, specializzata in diritto penale di famiglia.

Decriminalizing domestic violence : a balanced policy approach to intimate partner violence
\"Decriminalizing Domestic Violence asks the crucial, yet often ignored, question of why and how the criminal legal system has become the primary response to intimate partner violence in the United States. It introduces readers, both new and well versed in the subject, to the ways in which the criminal justice system harms rather than helps those who are subjected to abuse and violence in their homes and communities. The book examines how mandatory arrests, no-drop prosecutions, zero-tolerance public housing policies, and the ever-growing collateral consequences of a criminal record can mean that vast amounts of social, legal, and financial resources are diverted into a criminal justice apparatus that is ultimately unable to deliver justice or safety to victims, or to prevent domestic violence to begin with. Envisioned for both courses and research topics in domestic violence, family violence, gender and law, sociology of law, and others, the book challenges readers to view intimate partner violence not as a criminal justice concern but as an economic, public health, community, and human rights problem. At a moment when we are examining our national addiction to punishment, Decriminalizing Domestic Violence offers a thoughtful, pragmatic roadmap to real domestic violence reform\"--Provided by publisher.

Preventing violence in America
What can be done to address the problem of violence in society? The contributors to this volume, both scholars and practitioners, examine this question by exploring the history of violence together with theoretical explanations. The book discusses such issues as: the disproportionate presence of violence within North American minority populations; the concept of psychological resiliency; how spirituality may serve as a protective factor; and the role of television in promoting violence. The contributors also address prevention and intervention strategies among gangs of young people, and the implementation of special programmes in schools.

Violence in Families
Reports of mistreated children, domestic violence, and abuse of elderly persons continue to strain the capacity of police, courts, social services agencies, and medical centers. At the same time, myriad treatment and prevention programs are providing services to victims and offenders. Although limited research knowledge exists regarding the effectiveness of these programs, such information is often scattered, inaccessible, and difficult to obtain.
Violence in Families takes the first hard look at the successes and failures of family violence interventions. It offers recommendations to guide services, programs, policy, and research on victim support and assistance, treatments and penalties for offenders, and law enforcement. Included is an analysis of more than 100 evaluation studies on the outcomes of different kinds of programs and services.
Violence in Families provides the most comprehensive review on the topic to date. It explores the scope and complexity of family violence, including identification of the multiple types of victims and offenders, who require different approaches to intervention. The book outlines new strategies that offer promising approaches for service providers and researchers and for improving the evaluation of prevention and treatment services. Violence in Families discusses issues that underlie all types of family violence, such as the tension between family support and the protection of children, risk factors that contribute to violent behavior in families, and the balance between family privacy and community interventions.
The core of the book is a research-based review of interventions used in three institutional sectors-social services, health, and law enforcement settings-and how to measure their effectiveness in combating maltreatment of children, domestic violence, and abuse of the elderly. Among the questions explored by the committee: Does the child protective services system work? Does the threat of arrest deter batterers? The volume discusses the strength of the evidence and highlights emerging links among interventions in different institutional settings.
Thorough, readable, and well organized, Violence in Families synthesizes what is known and outlines what needs to be discovered. This volume will be of great interest to policymakers, social services providers, health care professionals, police and court officials, victim advocates, researchers, and concerned individuals.
