There’s an App for That
The number of refugees is increasing (UNHCR, 2019). The experiences of refugees are linked to impaired mental health yet, this population faces barriers to accessing mental health support (Shannon et al., 2016). Digital mental health interventions are increasingly recognised as an avenue for overcoming these barriers (WHO, 2017). The present paper begins by introducing the area of digital approaches to mental health and developments in this area …
Priming attachment security improves attitudes towards a range of therapies
We sought to understand how attachment orientation influenced attitudes towards different types of psychological therapies. In two studies, we (1) examined attachment orientation as a predictor of attitudes towards different therapies and (2) tested whether attachment security priming could improve attitudes. Study 1 ( n = 339) found associations between attachment orientation and attitudes towards, and likelihood of using different therapies. Po…
What is compassion and how can we measure it? A review of definitions and measures
The importance of compassion is widely recognized and it is receiving increasing research attention. Yet, there is lack of consensus on definition and a paucity of psychometrically robust measures of this construct. Without an agreed definition and adequate measures, we cannot study compassion, measure compassion or evaluate whether interventions designed to enhance compassion are effective. In response, this paper proposes a definition of compas…
Examining the factor structure of the 39-item and 15-item versions of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire before and after mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for people with recurrent depression…
Research into the effectiveness and mechanisms of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) requires reliable and valid measures of mindfulness. The 39-item Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-39) is a measure of mindfulness commonly used to assess change before and after MBIs. However, the stability and invariance of the FFMQ factor structure have not yet been tested before and after an MBI; pre to post comparisons may not be valid if the st…
How do mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction improve mental health and wellbeing? A systematic review and meta-analysis of mediation studies
My Expectations Remain the Same. The Student Has to Be Competent to Practise
Research has emphasized the importance of practice learning to social work qualifying education but has tended to feature social work educator and student perspectives more strongly than the views of those responsible for assessing students' practice in the field. This article draws on 195 responses to a postal questionnaire sent at two points in time to practice assessors working with students from nine social work qualifying programmes run in s…
Out of the Blue”
It came “out of the blue” is often said when a man with no known history of criminality kills his intimate partner. This reflects a belief that a “conventional man” without a criminogenic past or a problematic personal history would not commit murder. Casefiles from the Murder in Britain Study are used to compare men with no previous conviction (NoConvict, n = 25) with men with at least one previous conviction prior to the murder (PrevConvict, n …
What (a) Difference a Degree Makes
After many years of debate in the UK about the need for a degree-level qualification in social work, the arguments for a minimum degree-level qualification were accepted. The requirements for the degree in England were developed drawing on work from a number of sources, including a benchmark statement for undergraduate degrees in social work and focus groups with stakeholders. The new degree in England, launched in 2003, involves one extra year’s…
Legal Responses to Domestic Violence
Domestic abuse, civil protection orders and the ‘new criminologies’
Lethal and Nonlethal Violence Against an Intimate Female Partner
Men's lethal and nonlethal violence against an intimate female partner are compared. Various risk factors are examined to compare men's lethal and nonlethal violence against an intimate woman partner. Relative to abusers, men who kill are generally more conventional with respect to childhood backgrounds, education, employment, and criminal careers, are more likely to be possessive and jealous, and are more likely to be separated from their partne…

Men Who Murder Children Inside and Outside the Family
The focus of this paper is on men who murder children. The data are drawn from a larger study of Murder in Britain, 1 which examined all types of murder and included data from a total sample of 866 case files of both men and women convicted of murder and serving a life sentence in England or Scotland. This analysis is based on a subset of ninety cases of men convicted of the murder of a child. Two types of child murder are compared: men who kill …
Not an Ordinary Killer— Just an Ordinary Guy
The Murder in Britain Study was designed to examine in detail different types of murder. Using a subset of case files from this study, men who murder other men (MM;n = 424) are compared with men who murder an intimate partner (IP;n = 106) to reflect on the relative conventionality of each group. In terms of many of the characteristics of childhood and adulthood, the IP murder group differs from theMMgroup and appears to be more “ordinary” or “con…
Gender Violence and the Social Order
Law's Progressive Potential
Can the law be usefully employed to help women who experience domestic violence achieve 'justice'? This question has been at the heart of debates about domestic violence over the last few decades. In this paper, we review the positions of those who cautiously welcome engagement with the law - 'feminist realists', arrest studies researchers, 'sceptical reformers' and rehabilitation proponents - and those who see no value in legal intervention - 'a…
Remedial Work’
Based on interviews with 122 men who had used violence against their partner, and employing Goffman's (1971) concept of 'remedial work', this paper interrogates violent men's perceptions, constructions and understandings of domestic violence and their responses to its use. Accounts of women partners are also examined. 'Remedial work' involves the perpetrator of an act of untoward behaviour in various forms of 'damage limitation' intended to chang…

Changing Violent Men
Changing Violent Men is based on the evaluation of British criminal justice responses and treatment programmes for men who use violence against a woman partner. Court enforced abuser programmes are compared with more traditional sanctions such as fines and probation. Qualitative and quantitative data are used to delineate patterns of personal change and to allow the men and women involved to speak about their lives and the impact of criminal just…

Protection, Prevention, Rehabilitation or Justice? Women's Use of the Law to Challenge Domestic Violence
This article addresses the neglected question of what women who experience ‘domestic violence’ want from the law and examines the ways in which women actively engage with the legal system. Viewing women as agents trying to survive abuse, we examine their interaction with both civil and criminal legal systems as part of their ‘active negotiation and strategic resistance’ to men's violence. This represents a break from the tradition which has tende…
A Research Evaluation of British Programmes for Violent Men
In the last two decades there have been a number of social, medical and legal initiatives in the UK and elsewhere to provide assistance to women who suffer violence from their partner. The most recent innovations focus on responding to the men who perpetrate this violence. In this article we present the initial results of the first British study of programmes for violent men. The three-year study used a longitudinal method to compare the effects …
Separate and Intersecting Realities
The authors seek to contribute to a fuller understanding of men's violence against women in intimate relationships by comparing men's and women's accounts of the violence, injuries, and controlling behavior used by men against women partners. Although men and women inhabit a shared physical and social space within the home, their lived experiences and perceptions of such relationships often differ. Despite this, many studies do not consider what …
Working with Men
Ms Brownlie's review usefully highlights and describes in some detail a number of important themes from the book which she herself identifies as constructive and thought-provoking. On the other hand, however, aspects of the review are less well formulated, at times merely serving to reinforce points already made in the book itself. There are also, disappointingly, straightforward inaccuracies and misinterpretations in the review. Most importantly…
