Public Health and Solitary Confinement in the United States
The history of solitary confinement in the United States stretches from the silent prisons of 200 years ago to today’s supermax prisons, mechanized panopticons that isolate tens of thousands, sometimes for decades. We examined the living conditions and characteristics of the populations in solitary confinement. As part of the growing movement for reform, public health agencies have an ethical obligation to help address the excessive use of solita…

Prevalence and Severity of Lifetime Physical and Sexual Victimization Among Incarcerated Women
The Impact of Recent Partner Violence on Poor Women's Capacity to Maintain Work
Recent changes in welfare policy that require women to work have been particularly controversial for survivors of partner violence. This article explores the relationship between partner violence and work through time in an ethnically diverse longitudinal sample of 285 extremely poor women. Controlling for a variety of factors, women who experienced physical aggression/violence by male partners during a 12-month period had only one third the odds…
Intimate violence in the lives of homeless and poor housed women: Prevalence and patterns in an ethnically diverse sample
In a study of 436 homeless and poor housed mothers, nearly two-thirds reported severe physical violence by a childhood caretaker, 42% reported childhood sexual molestation, and 61% reported severe violence by a male partner. Comparisons of homeless and housed women are presented, and implications for prevention and intervention are discussed in light of recent welfare reform legislation

Services for homeless pregnant women: Lessons from the field
Although a significant subset of homeless women are pregnant and at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, programmatic responses to their special needs are limited. Findings from the process evaluation of an innovative service demonstration program are explored, and recommendations for future service delivery efforts are offered

Control and independence strayegies for large geography classes
A variety of innovations from UK institutions are described that tackle the problems of larger geography classes and more students. Each is set out according to a common format. The introduction sets these UK innovations in the particular context of developments in North American higher education and in the wider context of control and independence strategies for dealing with higher student: staff ratios
Violence against women by male partners: Prevalence, outcomes, and policy implications
Workloads of rural African women: The impact of economic adjustment in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Women's workloads in rural Africa are extremely demanding in terms of time and energy. In a continent where fertility rates are high, literacy levels very low and labour‐saving technologies hardly available, women's duties in reproductive and productive roles are examined and explained, using examples drawn from many countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Evidence that women are not receiving their share of the benefits of development, despite their si…
Gender, Intimacy, and Lethal Violence: Trends from 1976 through 1987
Only a few studies have disaggregated homicide rates by relationship type or gender, with little investigation of homicide trends in adult marital and other intimate relationships. The current study documents patterns of homicide between opposite gender relational partners for the twelve years of 1976 through 1987 based on Supplementary Homicide Report Data, comparing rates between couples in marital and nonmarital relationships. Analyses reveal …
Family violence and homelessness: The relevance of trauma histories in the lives of homeless women
Studies of homeless women reveal high lifetime rates of childhood physical and sexual abuse and of assault by intimate male partners. The extent of family violence in the lives of homeless women is examined, as are parallels between the long-term effects of childhood abuse and characteristics identified in homeless women. Implications for research and service provision are discussed
Violence in Marriage
Societal attitudes about marital violence have changed in the last twenty years. Battered wives have much more legal protection available than even a few years ago. There is now a substantial body of research on battered women and their marriages; less is known about violent men and the reasons for their violent behavior toward wives. Although studies of marital violence have inevitable methodological problems, survey data on the prevalence of vi…
Exploring the Effect of Resource Availability and the Likelihood of Female-Perpetrated Homicides
The research presented here examines the effect of legal and extralegal resources on the likelihood of female-perpetrated homicides. It looks at the relationship between gender-specific rates of partner homicide in the United States for 1976-79 and 1980-84, and the availability of legal and extralegal resources for abused women, using states as the unit of analysis. Results indicate that the availability of such resources is associated with a dec…
Impact of child sexual abuse: A review of the research
This article reviews studies that have tried to confirm empirically the effects of child sexual abuse cited in the clinical literature. In regard to initial effects, empirical studies have indicated reactions-in at least some portion of the victim population-of fear, anxiety, depression, anger and hostility, aggression, and sexually inappropriate behavior. Frequently reported long-term effects include depression and self-destructive behavior, anx…

Gender and victimization by intimates
Recent data demonstrate that, although gender has an impact upon the experience of being a victim of an intimate s violence, there is no particular personality pattern that leads one to become a victim Rather, women— who are socialized to adapt and submit, and who are likely to become victims of men's sexual violence or physical abuse—may not develop adequate self‐protection skills as children, especially if they come from childhood homes in whic…
The traumatic impact of child sexual abuse: A conceptualization
A framework is proposed for a more systematic understanding of the effects of child sexual abuse. Four traumagenic dynamics--traumatic sexualization, betrayal, stigmatization, and powerlessness--are identified as the core of the psychological injury inflicted by abuse. These dynamics can be used to make assessments of victimized children and to anticipate problems to which these children may be vulnerable subsequently. Implications for research a…
Individual and Family Environment Patterns among Jews and Non-Jews
56 Jewish and 42 non-Jewish adolescents completed measures of social desirability, fear of negative evaluation, moral anxiety, and self-acceptance. They also completed Moos's Family Environment Scale. Although there were no group differences on individual measures, there were differences in correlational patterns between Jews and Non-Jews. Correlations in opposite directions were found between self-acceptance and social desirability. For the Jewi…
The Mixed Economy of Day Care: Consumer Versus Professional Assessments
One of the crucial issues in the evolution of the welfare state is the preferred means of funding and providing social services. In the absence of a federally-funded and centrally-administered child day care programme in the United States, a variety of services and programmes have evolved. Public policy which seeks to encourage service diversity must consider the ability of social service consumers to afford, select or utilize services of quality…
