Commentary
For far too long, the abuse of women within sport environments has been overlooked. This special issue highlights the growing interest and research on violence against women in sport. However, methodological challenges, such as inconsistent conceptualization and operationalization of what constitutes sport and violence against women, continue to hinder our understanding of the scope of this problem. We recommend that future research adopt similar…
Mediational roles of stress-coping factors in the relationship between patient-perceived communication quality and physical functioning
On Thin Ice
There was a burst of creative social scientific investigation into hypermasculine male athletes’ violence against women in the 1980s and 1990s, but this interest has seemed to have dried up. Furthermore, the extant literature on this problem is for the most part atheoretical and devoid of sociological ways of knowing. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to highlight the value of applying a modified male peer support theory of male-to-female viol…
Attitudes and interest in incorporating BRCA1/2 cancer susceptibility testing into reproductive carrier screening for Ashkenazi Jewish men and women
An Adaptation, Extension and Pre-Testing of an Interactive Decision Aid for Men Diagnosed with Localized Prostate Cancer in Iceland
In this study an interactive decision aid (DA) for men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer was adapted, extended and pre-tested. The DA's prototype was based on a literature review and other empirically tested DAs. Semi-structured interviews with 12 men (age 65-80) diagnosed with localized prostate cancer were conducted to get feedback on content, usability, and the DA's layout. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and themes…
Masculinities, Sport, and Violence Against Women
Although there are active debates about the nature and role of masculinities and a rise of new masculinity formations in modern society, feminist analysis of the relationship between sport, masculinities, and violence against women has been somewhat quiescent lately. This article seeks to underline this connection through the use of male peer support theory, which has been expanded in recent years to include messages from women and from within th…
Developing a culturally targeted video to enhance the use of genetic counseling in Latina women at increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer
Culturally Targeted Video Improves Psychosocial Outcomes in Latina Women at Risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer
Latina women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) have lower awareness, knowledge, and use of genetic counseling and testing services (GCT) than non-Latina Whites. Few interventions have been developed to reduce these disparities among at-risk Latinas. This pilot study assessed the impact of a culturally targeted narrative video developed by our team. The study included 40 Latina immigrants living in the United States who were a…
Technology-Facilitated Stalking and Unwanted Sexual Messages/Images in a College Campus Community
Researchers have accumulated much social scientific knowledge about the scope, distribution, causes, and outcomes of the physical and sexual abuse of female students in North American institutions of higher learning. However, surveys of technology-facilitated stalking and the dissemination of unwanted sexual messages/images in college campus communities are in short supply. The few that have been conducted do not identify key sociological risk fa…
Abusive Endings
This book provides scholars, students, practitioners, and policy makers with a comprehensive review of the most up-to-date social scientific literature on lethal and nonlethal forms of male-to-female violence during and after separation and divorce. Special attention is devoted to reviewing theoretical perspectives on the topic and the ways in which various technologies are used by men to hurt the women who want to leave them, have begun to emoti…
A campus LGBTQ community’s sexual violence and stalking experiences
Previous studies of peer support for various types of violence against college students are heteronormative, being primarily concerned with the abuse of heterosexual women by heterosexual males. Using recent data from the Campus Quality of Life Survey conducted at a large residential college in the South Atlantic part of the US, the main objective of this paper is to help fill a major research gap by presenting data on two ways in which negative …
Days of Whine and Poses
Wright and DeLisi could have produced a guide to conservative criminology which would have been a useful addition to available teaching materials. Most of us cover conservative criminology extensively in our classes, from rational choice theories, to low self-control, to routine activities, broken windows, perceptual deterrence, criminal mind and human nature theories and much more. Unfortunately, this book is improperly titled. It is not a caref…
Race, Gender, and Class in Criminology
These essays, first published in 1996, focus on class, race, and gender as organising and analytical concepts in criminology. For many years, their importance in studying how the world relates to crime and its control was minimized or ignored. It is clear, however, that these concepts are of critical importance in understanding societal issues, especially crime and societal responses to it. This title will be of interest to students of criminolog…

Motivation-based intervention to promote colonoscopy screening
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates have been low despite effectiveness of screening in reducing CRC mortality. This article outlines the theoretical background and development of an innovative, telephone-based risk communication designed to promote screening among individuals at increased risk for familial CRC. This ongoing intervention integrates the Extended Parallel Process Model of fear management and the motivational interviewing counse…
Use and Evaluation of a CD-ROM-Based Decision Aid for Prostate Cancer Treatment Decisions
The survival advantages associated with different treatments for localized prostate cancer (PCa) continue to be uncertain. We evaluated patients' use of an interactive CD-ROM-based decision aid designed to improve informed decision making about PCa treatment. Newly diagnosed, early-stage PCa patients who had not made a treatment decision completed a baseline telephone interview (N = 132), were mailed the CD-ROM, and completed a one-month follow-u…

Thinking Critically About Rural Gender Relations
Separation/Divorce Sexual Assault
Although several studies find that the most dangerous part of an intimate relationship for women is when it breaks up, relatively few studies look at women who want to break up a relationship, are in the process of leaving, or who have left a relationship. This qualitative exploratory study looks at incidents of sexual assault committed by former husbands or cohabitants in the lives of rural women in Ohio. Male peer support, which has previously …

Women, Violence and Social Change
Women, Violence and Social Change demonstrates how refuges and shelters stand as the core of the battered women's movement, providing a basis for pragmatic support, political action and radical renewal. From this base movements in Britain and the United States have challenged the police, courts and social services to provide greater assistance to women. The book provides important evidence on the way social movements can successfully challenge in…

Rape myths and violence against street prostitutes
The experiences of prostitutes have been missing from studies of violence and rape, as has the problem of violence from studies of prostitution. Interviews here with 16 street prostitutes, most of whom are crack users, reveal an enormous amount of rape and violence against these women. Further, it is found that rape myths generally discussed in the literature uniquely come together around prostitutes to fuel both the violence and the devaluation …
Bad Dates or Emotional Trauma
Backlash critics of campus rape research have claimed that researchers exaggerate their figures by labeling as rape victims those women who experience bad dates. Although researchers have compared stranger with acquaintance rape victims, they have not compared women raped while too drunk to resist and those raped by force. This study of 65 rape victims (in a sample of 388 college seniors) found no evidence for critics' claims. Women raped by into…

Methodological Issues in the Use of Survey Data for Measuring and Characterizing Violence Against Women
There are numerous methodological pitfalls in the use of survey data to study violence against women. This article reviews some of the major problems, including definitional problems, operationalization of concepts, recall bias, underreporting, question order, external validity, and the sex and ethnicity of interviewers. Recommendations for improving methodology are made, and some of the latest developments in the field are reviewed. It is argued…
Postmodern Thought and Criminological Discontent
Although postmodern theory has virtually exploded throughout the social sciences, thus far it has only begun to touch criminology. This piece identifies some of the principal themes associated with postmodern thought, reasons for the current interest in it, and its potential relevance for criminology. There are many postmodernisms, but special attention is paid here to the popular models borrowed from literary and linguistic analysis. Violence is…
Male peer support and woman abuse
Although all‐male friendship networks may have an important effect in motivating some men to physically, sexually, and psychologically harm female intimates, particularly in dating relationships, the study of the dynamics of these groups is still limited. DeKeseredy's early model has some of the best explanatory value, but it fails to address a number of factors, including macrolevel forces, the role of alcohol abuse, membership in formal social …
Women's Fear of Crime in Canadian Public Housing
That women have a greater fear of crime than men has often been termed irrational or paradoxical, but this article joins those who argue that the gendered nature of fear is well grounded. The authors investigate the extent to which various factors—including prior victimization, perceptions of neighborhood disorder, routine activities, and neighborhood satisfaction—predict women's perceptions of personal safety. Survey and semistructured interview…
The Role of Profeminist Men in Dealing With Woman Abuse on the Canadian College Campus
Stopping woman abuse on the North American college campus has not been very successful thus far. There is a major backlash, where students, faculty, and administrators too often either feel that the problem is not very significant or support the patriarchal rights of men. Programs begun by many campuses have not worked very well, partially because they depend on women to police the actions of men and partially because so few men come under formal…
Fraternity Membership, Rape Myths, and Sexual Aggression on a College Campus
A rich theoretical and ethnographic literature exists suggesting that fraternity men are particularly prone to be sexual victimizers of women on college campuses. Yet, there is thin empirical evidence for this contention. Here, in a sample from a large midwestern university, there was strong evidence uncovered that male peer support for victimization of women exists, and that it is related to extensive alcohol use. However, there is no evidence t…

Crime victimization, alcohol consumption, and drug use in Canadian public housing
Dropping the Study in Depth Charge at the University Level
The American Association of Colleges has a goal for sociology: to make advanced courses build on prior knowledge with the ultimate aim of a coherent major. There are a number of structural constraints on this goal, including 1) a lack of agreement on the proper content of the introductory courses, 2) the way we currently teach introductory sociology, 3) pressure from the University to service as many students as possible, 4) the popularity of soc…

Casino Gambling and Street Crime
Although legalized gambling, and in particular casino gambling, has become an increasingly important American leisure activity, it has not escaped extensive controversy. Among the many evils forecast for communities that open casinos is a major increase in street crime. This article will review what we know about the relationship between street crime and casino gambling

Violence against and the Harassment of Women in Canadian Public Housing
Aucune étude nord‐américaine n'a examiné de façon systé'matique l'importance des divers types degressions sexuelles, notamment le harcèlement sexuel et racial, que subissent les femmes dans les logements sociaux. Les logements sociaux et les rues des quartiers pauvres du centre‐ville sont les endroits typiques où se jouent les relations de force entre les sexes et où l'influence de la drogue a exacerbé la violence exercée contre les femmes. À l'a…
Situation/transition groups
Small discussion-education groups moderated by a trained leader have been used in a variety of settings for the mutual assistance of individuals who share some stressful life situation. This paper reviews the literature on a broad range of such groups, and finds they have common characteristics, modes of function, and problems of leadership. The situation group is seen as being an important primary preventive approach for both mental and physical…

Criminal Sanctions for Corporate Misbehavior
Domestic Violence in Criminal Court
Many states have recently passed new legislation to deal with spouse abuse, including several which have created a new criminal offense: domestic violence. This study examines all 1980 charges under Ohio's new domestic violence law in a large misdemeanor court and concludes that the creation of a new offense category does not cause major changes in measurable court outcomes. For example, 73% of victims who filed charges dropped them before a verd…

Emerging From Tyranny
Teaching the mass class
It is commonplace to argue that learning cannot take place in the mass class, that evaluations of teachers are lower, that students' grades are lower, and that it is generally a bad experience even if necessary. I argue here that some of these perceptions are wrong: at least fact-based learning is possible, good teaching is possible, and students will recognize this teaching with good evaluations. The experience is draining, however, and all the …

Exploring a feminist routine activities approach to explaining sexual assault
Routine activities theory has generally focused on macro-level data, and has ignored sexual violence. Although virtually all researchers in this area have built offender motivation into the theory, and have treated it simply as a “given,” few have tried to explain it. Feminist theory on campus sexual assaults, however, not only explains offender motivation but also discusses how women are viewed by offenders as “suitable targets.” In this study, …
