'First, IPV occurs across all age groups and ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. Secondly, men and women show near-equal rates of IPV perpetration with women perpetrating at slightly higher rates.

It is important to note that counseling for IPV perpetrators is widely available, with well over 1000 programs in the US. Most of these programs, however, predominantly serve court-mandated populations and are focused on men who have assaulted women. While men cause the bulk of physical injury, many men are unwilling to come forward for fear of stigma.

Although clinical approaches based on long-standing models of IPV intervention have modest efficacy, there is a solid conceptual rationale for several alternative strategies for IPV perpetrators.'

'Now 40 years later, the coalition is under fire amid reports of mismanagement. The Department of Human Services, which has funding oversight of the coalition, earlier this year released the results of an audit that found poor financial controls and questionable expenditures by the organization.

A program that once directed to local programs the money collected in canisters placed in convenience stores, was found by auditors to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in questionable costs. They ranged from inappropriate payroll adjustments to the billing of questionable expenditures, including tickets to a baseball game.

In May, the Department of Human Services extended only a three-month funding stream — out of its $28 million annual allotment — to the organization, pending the resolution of the audit.

'The first national guidelines for the judiciary on domestic violence has urged judges to look at traits beyond physical violence when granting a restraining order, such as 'mind games'.

The bench guide book states that domestic violence does not just include physical attacks but can include verbal abuse, criticism of their partner's physical traits or refusing to show affection.
...
The guide said social abuse could include criticism of their partner's obsessive housework duties and emotional and psychological abuse included 'angry verbal outbursts, staring, silence, ignoring and withdrawal of affection'.

It warned the judiciary to focus on all elements of family abuse, including a 'complex pattern of violent or abusive behaviours' which could be physical or psychological.'

'A trial court’s findings do not “clearly and convincingly support” its decision to terminate a father’s parental rights to his son based on it being in the best interests of the boy. In fact, the findings show that the father and son have a bond and often spend time together, the Indiana Supreme Court found Tuesday.

Father R.S. had a no contact order between himself and R.S.’s mother and was incarcerated for a Class B felony. While in prison, he stayed in contact with his son by writing him letters on a weekly basis. A year after father was released on probation in 2013, R.S., now 10, was found to be a child in need of services as to his mother and father based on his mother’s drug use and his father’s lack of involvement. R.S. began living with his maternal grandmother.'

'Kasey Warren, 27, a former tutor within the Carlisle County Schools District, Kentucky, US, allegedly had sexual contact with two pupils aged just 16.

One boy was said to have been attacked at the beginning of June while the other was attacked about two weeks later.

Police say Warren met the pair while working in the district in the latter half of the 2015-2016 term, but did not disclose which school the boys attended.

Officers say the alleged attacks took place in neighbouring McCracken County, but did not give any further details.

Cops say they received a report of the attacks on June 28, and a grand jury indicted Warren on Friday last week.'

'It is ironic that this female domination of campus comes at time when the feminists are still trying to sell us the lie that there is a ‘rape culture’ on aforementioned campus. I wonder how long they will be able to keep it up as some universities become women-only domains?

'Oklahoma Wesleyan University recently agreed to join a lawsuit against the Obama Administration over campus sexual assault case standards, arguing that they violate student rights to due process.

The Christian school filed the suit Monday, becoming the first and thus far only higher education institution to challenge a 2011 mandate from the federal government regarding campus sexual assault cases.

In a statement released Monday, Oklahoma Wesleyan President Dr. Everett Piper declared that "OKWU will always defend our students' constitutional rights."

"We also refuse to accept any government intrusion that would require OKWU to teach the antithesis of our Christian beliefs concerning sexual behavior," said Piper.

'A former "Inside Amy Schumer" contributor generated a social-media firestorm by calling out some women for making allegations of sexual assault about a fellow comedian but not reporting them to police.

"Guys I have just heard some disturbing news, this guy Jiff Dilfyberg is a rapist!" writer-comedian Kurt Metzger wrote on Facebook over the weekend after learning that the New York-based Upright Citizens Brigade banned comedian Aaron Glaser — the target of the anonymous accusers. "I know because women said it and that's all I need! Never you mind who they are. They are women! ALL women are as reliable as my bible! A book that, much like a women, is incapable of lying!"

Metzger then sarcastically argued that the alleged rape victims are afraid to report the assaults to authorities because they are "too brave" and that would be "tooooo rapey."

Now Metzger is being accused of victim-blaming the women in a series of social-media posts.'

'An official for a national women’s advocacy group claims that Title IX is used “almost exclusively as a tool for advancing women’s interests,” rather than for promoting true gender equality.

Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Managing Director Carrie Lukas argues in a recent op-ed for Acculturated that an excessive focus on the areas in which males outperform females has led society to overlook the many areas in which the opposite imbalance holds sway.

Citing a study featured in Education Week asserting that struggles with calculus cause women to drop out of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields at higher rates than their male peers, Lukas said she finds “frustrating” the study’s implication that “systematic sexism” is to blame whenever women lag behind men.'

'This year, girls are 30 per cent more likely than boys to win a university place – a figure that is being celebrated because it’s down on last year’s 31 per cent. The gap is narrowing, but this is not progress worthy of the name.

This trend is at its most pernicious at the bottom end of the income scale, and worse still when you strip out ambitious immigrants and their children. Poor white children always fare worse under the state school system, but poor white boys do worst of all. It’s the inequality that dare not speak its name.
...
Mary Curnock Cook, the head of Ucas, has worried aloud about all of this: surely, she says, such a huge gender imbalance at school will lead to gender imbalance later on? On current trends, she says, girls born today will be 75 per cent more likely to go university than boys.

'The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.

The relatively new policy in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people.'

'But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right, an Internet-grown reactionary movement that works for men’s rights and against immigration and may have used the computer from Weird Science to fabricate Donald Trump. Not only does Trump share their attitudes, but he’s got mad trolling skills: he doxxed Republican primary opponent Senator Lindsey Graham by giving out his cell-phone number on TV and indirectly got his Twitter followers to attack GOP political strategist Cheri Jacobus so severely that her lawyers sent him a cease-and-desist order.

'Women held in local jails represent the fastest growing population of incarcerated people in the US, according to a new study. The researchers found that trauma, sexual violence and mental health issues were all closely wrapped up with the swelling numbers.

“While we started to see a decline in the incarceration and jailing of men, we haven’t seen a comparable kind of trend for women,” said Laurie Garduque, director of Justice Reform for the MacArthur Foundation, which co-published the report with the Vera Institute. Since 1970, the number of women in US jails has increased by 14 times, far outstripping the growth in the male prison population, even though in raw numbers there remain many more men locked up.
