Development of B.R.A.K.E. the Cycle: A Culturally Responsive Bystander Intervention for South Asian Immigrants in the United States
South Asian (SA) immigrants are one of the fastest-growing immigrant groups in the United States. Due to the stigma associated with domestic violence among SAs, disclosing victimization experiences may be challenging. In circumstances where experiences are disclosed, informal help-seeking through family/friends is utilized more often than formal help-seeking. Therefore, it is essential for friends/family to be empowered to effectively intervene. …

The manifestation of physical and emotional sibling abuse across the lifespan and the need for social work intervention
Despite physically and emotionally violent behaviors being the most common form of violence in families, little is known about the manifestation of physical and emotional sibling abuse across the lifespan. Furthermore, given the normalization and dismissal of sibling abuse by many families as well as society, it is likely that social work practitioners do not recognize this form of violence as substantially problematic. This article highlights th…

Social work has played an integral role in the conceptualization and implementation of policy aimed at prevention and intervention of various forms of family violence.

Debunking the myth of the ‘radical profession’: Analysing and overcoming our professional history to create new pathways and opportunities for social work
The social work profession has often been portrayed as a progressive, critical and even radical movement for social justice and social change (Wagner, 1990; Reisch, 2013). This article analyses the basis of these claims and critiques the labelling of social work as radical, utilising a philosophy-of-science lens and critical theories and perspectives to interrogate the professionalisation of social work, the current knowledge base and practices, …
Should failure to protect laws include physical and emotional sibling violence
Physical and emotional sibling violence is a problematic occurrence for many children, adults, and families, yet this form of violence rarely falls within the purview of state laws and policies. Failure to protect laws offer one avenue through which sibling violence can be addressed by holding parents and caregivers accountable for harm that occurs to a child in their custody. This article provides background information on physical and emotional…
Physical and Emotional Sibling Violence: A Necessary Role for Social Work
With physical and emotional sibling violence being one of the most common forms of violence against children (Straus, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 2006), the implications of this type of violence should be understood as a significant part of family violence across the life span. Social work, with its person-in-environment focus, should consider and address all types of violence affecting children and adults, including physical and emotional violence betw…
