Turkey'S Necropolitical Laboratory : Democracy, Violence and Resistance
This book makes a strong case that Turkey's regime and its vicissitudes are dependent on a necropolitical undercurrent.Building on the insights of critical and contemporary theory, the essays address the multiple ways in which lives are brought into the fold of power.Once there, they are subjected to mechanisms of death and destruction, and to modalities of infrastructural violence, strategic neglect and exposure.This produces new forms of impoverishment, inequality and disposability.Bringing together historical, discursive, and ethnographic approaches from multiple disciplines, this collection offers a sobering and original analysis of contemporary Turkey.

Government Violence and Repression : An Agenda for Research
A form of terrorism that is receiving increased attention is human rights abuses on the part of individual states.This study, written by specialists from several countries, attempts to define the parameters of state terrorism, analyze its causes, and identify the types of data and methods needed for policy-relevant research.It focuses on state use of acts of terror to intimidate, pacify, coerce, or destroy whole populations, groups, or classes of citizens.The problems encountered in the study of state terrorism, particularly in the areas of definition and measurement and in the difficulty of obtaining complete and reliable data, are first discussed.The political origins of state violence and the mechanisms that sustain it are traced in a theoretical analysis, and the relation of national security ideology to the imposition of terrorist measures is explored.The forms of state terrorism and repression encountered in the Third World are considered next.Other topics covered include genocide, terrorism and counterterrorism in the context of democratic society, and the international terrorist impact of superpower politics.Finally, the prospects of bringing state terrorism under the control of international law are assessed.

Crime, Violence and Masculinities : Research Paths and Understanding
Providing a detailed survey of the author’s work over three decades, this book chronicles Tomsen’s studies of interpersonal violence and masculinities, which initiated new approaches and topic areas and informed related theorising. These novel approaches in social science research sparked new pathways of understanding, which are outlined and evaluated in discussions of contemporary research and theoretical debates regarding masculinities and violence.The work reflects phases of study concerning (1) public (and related “private”) urban male violence; (2) anti-gay/anti-queer assaults and homicides, hate crimes, and the ambivalent official responses to these; (3) the ambiguous views of violence and different masculinities that are generated and circulate in criminal justice systems, and in popular (film and online) culture; and (4) frames of understanding masculine violence that have emerged in recent decades to further explain and address the apparent intractability of much offending, its relationship to related forms of social privilege or disadvantage, and preventive measures and programmes that are intended to counter this. Crime, Violence and Masculinities provides insight into the long-term production of knowledge about masculinity and gendered violence that will benefit readers engaged in researching these topics, as well as those with an interest in research results and their translation into related theory more broadly.

Intimate Partner Violence : New Perspectives in Research and Practice
Since the 1970s the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been explained through the patriarchal desire of men to control and dominate women, but this gendered perspective limits both our understanding of IPV and its treatment.Intimate Partner Violence: New Perspectives in Research and Practice is the first book of its kind to present a detailed and rigorous critique of current domestic violence research and practice within the same volume.In this challenging new text, with contributions from the UK, the US, and Canada, the subject is assessed from a more holistic position.It provides a critical analysis of the issue of domestic violence including issues that are often not part of the mainstream discussion.Each of the chapters tackles a different area of research or practice, from a critical review of contemporary topics in domestic violence research, including a critical review of men’s use of violence in relationships, a consideration of male victims, IPV within the LGBTQ+ community, perceptions of perpetrators and victims, and IPV within adolescent populations.The second half of the book examines challenges and opportunities for professionals working in the field and includes an analysis of an evidence informed perpetrator programme, the challenges faced working with male victims, and a discussion of the impact of domestic violence on children.Culminating with a series of evidence-based recommendations to bridge the divide between academic and practitioner stakeholders and to inform future working practices, this is an essential resource for students and practitioners alike.

What is the difference between psychological violence and physical violence?
Psychological violence involves the use of words, gestures, or actions to manipulate, control, or intimidate another person. This can include threats, humiliation, and emotional abuse. On the other hand, physical violence involves the use of physical force to cause harm or injury to another person, such as hitting, kicking, or pushing.
