Reflections of Findings from the Violence against Women Survey

handle is hein.journals/cjccj37 and id is 460 raw text is: Reflections on findings from the Violence Against Women Survey Russell P. Dobash and R. Emerson Dobash Violence Research Unit Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences University of Manchester Manchester England Les premiers articles reprenant les r~sultats de l'Enqu~te, tant attendue. sur la violence envers lesfemmes abordent certaines questions nouvelles etfournissent des 6claircissements sur d'autres, bien connues. L'Enqufte marque, en soi, le debut d'un nouveau chapitre de l',tude de la violence envers les femmes et repr~sente un tournant important de la recherche dans ce domaine. De la conception et du d~veloppement aux m~thodes et aux mesures, l'Enqute sur la violence envers lesfemmes (EVF) 6tablit, en mati~re de sondage aupros des victimes, des nouvelles normes qui serviront certainement de modile pendant une bonne partie du si~cle prochain. L'Enqufte allie, en effet, la plus haute rigueur scientifique au souci de la s~curit6 et du bien-atre des personnes interrog~es. Les donn~es d~taill~es axles sur la violence plut6t que sur le conflit, ainsi que sur le contexte et les consequences de la violence, qui ont enrichi la base de connaissances permettront de mieux d~crire et expliquer les ph~nomines, et serviront de tremplin au lancement ou & la reprise de d~bats th~oriques ou empiriques. Certains articles ci-inclus susciteront sans aucun doute de nouvelles discussions au sujet de ce grand dossier The first papers from the long awaited Violence Against Women Survey address some new issues and provide new insights into some familiar ones. The Survey itself heralds a new era in the study of violence against women and represents a watershed in this area of research. From de- sign and development to method and measurement, the VAW Survey sets new standards in victim surveys that will undoubtedly provide a model for this type of research well into the next century. Simultaneously, the highest standards of scientific rigor are observed along with concerns about the safety and welfare of subjects. Detailed data about violence, rather than conflict, and about the contexts and consequences of vio- lence have been added to the base of knowledge upon which enhanced descriptions and explanations may be based and from which theoretical and empirical debates may be launched or tried yet again. Some of the papers herein will no doubt generate further discussions and debate in this important area of study.
