Encountering and Identifying Different Forms of Domestic Violence in Shelters and Community Care Services in Finland During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions such as lockdowns and social distancing have been used to control coronavirus. These restrictions may increase the risk of domestic violence (DV) and discourage victims from getting help. We examined the consequences that the pandemic had on different forms of DV and different victim groups of DV. An online survey of shelter clients (N = 47), interviews with clients in community care services (N = 2), and eight focus group interviews with professionals (N = 27) working in shelters and community care services were used for data. We used a mixed-methods approach in the analysis, which showed that clients in shelters reported more violence during the pandemic than prepandemic. Psychological, controlling, and financial violence increased the most during the pandemic, according to the survey data. Coercive control was the most visible type of violence from the perspective of three vulnerable groups: intimate partners, children, and migrants. The research findings will help us arrange services to identify and better manage pandemic lockdown-associated violence.

PROBLEMS OF CRIMINALIZATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN KAZAKHSTAN AND IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The article examines the international experience of combating domestic violence on the basis of documents adopted by the United Nations and WHO. The legislative practice of the post-Soviet countries, including Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine (until February 21, 2022), neighboring Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, has been studied. The work of American scientist Evan Stark on the theory of "coercive control", which occurs in almost all forms of domestic violence, but which is not always taken into account during the investigation of an offense, is also studied. The work pays special attention to the UK's experience in combating domestic violence, since this country considers the designated offense as a comprehensive way of restricting human rights, including physical, psychological, sexual and material. Based on international experience, the paper raises the question of the expediency in Kazakhstan to criminalize illegal acts committed in everyday conditions in the light of the current, extremely acute situation. Legal ways to combat the above-mentioned offenses in non-CIS countries and the CIS can be taken into account during the development and improvement of national legislation. The proposed work presents research on the current state of domestic violence in our country and statistical data reflecting trends towards an increase or decrease in the number of domestic violence and their causes. The article uses the method of comparative analysis of legislative acts of both near and far abroad in the field of domestic violence. In the conclusions of the study, a number of provisions are proposed, according to the tasks set, which consist in the fact that there is a need, taking into account the upward dynamics, to tighten responsibility for the commission of domestic violence. It is also proposed to adopt a new legislative act that would establish clear definitions for all types of domestic violence. The authors propose in the new law to criminalize illegal acts committed at home in order to reduce the level of such a dangerous phenomenon for society as domestic violence.

‘A Prisoner on the Rack’: Marital Rape, Consent, and the Gothic in Late-Nineteenth-Century Colonial Women’s Writings

ABSTRACT This article explores how marital rape was represented in the fiction and non-fiction writings of four colonial female authors – Barbara Baynton, Ada Cambridge, Louisa Lawson, and Rosa Praed. It examines how these women conceptualised marital rape as a form of domestic violence or ‘cruelty’ in marriage, intrinsically linked to other forms of marital violence such as physical and mental abuse, and with marital rape representative of the unacceptability and immorality of a husband’s total control over his wife’s body. It also analyses how these literary representations differed from discussions about marital rape and domestic violence by suffrage agitators such as Rose Scott and Maybanke Anderson. The article argues that Baynton, Cambridge, and Lawson used the language and tropes of the Gothic in order to generate understanding for and empathy with wives and their inability to consent in the marital bed. This article therefore illuminates the intersecting conversations by both female authors and suffrage agitators in late-nineteenth-century Australia about married women’s right to consent, domestic violence, and acceptable marital masculine behaviour, highlighting how access to Gothic tropes allowed colonial female authors to foreground women’s bodily autonomy and depict marital rape in the level of graphic detail that suffrage agitators could not.

Mind Control and Abused-Related Suicide: The Criminal Justice Response to Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in China

Mind control is a new form of intimate partner violence. It involves the abuser verbally humiliating and intimidating his or her partner in order to increase his or her emotional dependence. The consequences are self-doubt or self-denial on the part of the abused person, fear of resisting the abuser, or even self-mutilation or suicide at the abuser's instigation. Recently, a Chinese court ruled in a case where mind control led to the suicide of his girlfriend, sentencing the defendant, Mu Linhan, to three years and two months in prison for abuse. This case brings the form of violence known as mind control officially into the public view. In this case, the court made a breakthrough in determining that a non-marital cohabitation relationship establishes a family member relationship, and recognized the causality of mind control on suicide. In recent years, China has effectively contributed to the protection of women's rights and interests through the Anti-Domestic Violence Law and criminal law. However, shortcomings in the law limit the ability of rules to combat domestic violence. China should introduce additional criminal law provisions on new forms of domestic violence and improve the scope of criminal law regulation of domestic violence offences.

Marital Rape: An Examination of Legal and Social Perspectives in India

This paper delves into the nuanced understanding of marital rape within the context of Indian law and society. While traditional definitions of rape focused on non-consensual intercourse involving impersonation, common law has expanded the definition to encompass non-consensual intercourse without consent, encompassing elements of force, fear, or fraud. This evolution traces back to historical perceptions of ravishment as trespass, later evolving into a capital felony, and eventually being penalized with overseas transportation before transitioning to life imprisonment. India's legal stance on marital rape diverges, considering it an offense only if the wife is under 15 years old. Even with the enactment of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in 2005, marital rape continues to be classified as a form of domestic violence. Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code broadens the concept of a husband to encompass individuals who have assumed a husband-like role through marriage-like arrangements. Mental cruelty is recognized and penalized under this statute, thereby revealing the Indian Constitution's commitment to ending gender discrimination, albeit with certain gaps in legislation. The analysis also highlights the conflict between exceptions in Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and married women's fundamental rights and privacy. The repercussions of marital rape extend beyond the wife, affecting children as well. As such, there is a pressing need to advocate for the criminal prosecution of marital rape. By shedding light on the complex legal and social dimensions surrounding marital rape in India, this paper contributes to the discourse on women's rights and gender equality on an international platform.
