关于家庭暴力和基于性别的暴力的社会学和犯罪学观点通常要么认为不值得考虑而不予考虑,要么将重点放在特定的犯罪者和受害者群体(男性青年团伙、伴侣暴力受害者)上。在本文中,我们对暴力采取了全面的方法,将通常使用的定义扩展到包括家庭暴力和性暴力。我们通过使用英格兰和威尔士犯罪调查的最新数据来实现这一定义。通过这样做,我们确定,暴力目前是衡量不足和普遍存在的;它是性别的,其他形式的暴力(家庭暴力,熟人暴力侵害妇女)同样令人关切。我们认为,暴力研究是社会学家活动的一种重要形式。
Sociological and criminological views of domestic and gender-based violence generally either dismiss it as not worthy of consideration, or focus on specific groups of offenders and victims (male youth gangs, partner violence victims). In this paper, we take a holistic approach to violence, extending the definition from that commonly in use to encompass domestic violence and sexual violence. We operationalize that definition by using data from the latest sweep of the Crime Survey for England and Wales. By so doing, we identify that violence is currently under-measured and ubiquitous; that it is gendered, and that other forms of violence (family violence, acquaintance violence against women) are equally of concern. We argue that violence studies are an important form of activity for sociologists.
