Extractions: Resources and Brochures Statutory mandate The Legal Aid Services Act (1998) establishes the following mandate for LAO: In fulfilling this mandate Legal Aid Ontario is committed to providing services which recognize the importance of diversity, access, equity, creativity and quality. March 2005 Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) provides access to justice for people across Ontario. LAO contributes to the health and stability of society as a justice and social service partner. In 2004, we provided more than one million people, often the most vulnerable in the province, with high quality legal aid services. Our clients include seniors, persons with disabilities, youth, single parents, the mentally disordered, the homeless, and residents in the most remote parts of Ontario. LAO is grateful for the Ontario government's commitment to justice and to the Attorney General of Ontario for publicly acknowledging the vital role of legal aid services to the justice system. We have a presence in every region of Ontario, in every courthouse and before every tribunal where significant losses of freedom, income, security or housing are at stake. We play a key role in ensuring confidence in those government institutions which affect the lives of the most vulnerable Ontarians and their families. Our services are inextricably linked with the social determinants of health, features such as employment, food, security, housing, social exclusion and the social safety net.

http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Publications/positions/violence.htm

Extractions: March 1999 Violence as a Public Health Problem Position Statement: Because of the prevalence of physical and psychological violence in our society, nurses frequently care for the victims, the perpetrators, and the witnesses of physical and psychological violence. In addition, nurses also may be at risk for experiencing violence in the workplace. As members of the largest group of health care providers, nurses should be aware of assessment methods and nursing interventions that will interrupt and prevent the cycle of violence. In particular, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recognizes domestic violence as a special form of violence with a high incidence and prevalence requiring health care interventions. AACN recommends that faculty in educational institutions preparing nurses in baccalaureate and higher-degree programs ensure that the curricula contain opportunities for all students to gain factual information and clinical experience regarding domestic violence. At a minimum, this content should include:

Legal Education Outreach The Legal Education Outreach Program currently has the following presentations available for the SM community by LEOP representatives. It is important for SM-Leather-Fetish practitioners to understand law enforcement and the numerous legal issues that can affect us - specifically the response to an alleged domestic violence call. Once this is accomplished, you can constructively interact with law enforcement officers if the need arises. This presentation will focus on two aspects: (1) constructively dealing with officers, and (2) avoiding legal trouble. This workshop does not deal with the "cycle of abuse" or actual domestic violence; instead it is about consensual SM being misinterpreted as domestic violence by law enforcement.

Extractions: Home Violence Aging Healthy Adolescents Project ... Publications Professional, Ethical, and Legal Issues Concerning Interpersonal Violence, Maltreatment, and Related Trauma A report of the ad hoc Committee on Legal and Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Interpersonal Violence Table of Contents Introduction Section IV: Collateral Issues Section I: Professional roles Section V: Forensic Psychology ... Section III: Treatment This introduction provides a brief review of the issues faced by psychologists working in the areas of interpersonal violence. The problem includes the perception of a harassing backlash against psychologists who have been involved in interpersonal violence cases and issues. In particular, some psychologists who work with child or elder maltreatment, spousal / partner battering, and adults who recall memories of childhood abuse have been targets or personal and organized harassment. The forms of harassment have included personal threats and picketing of offices, media campaigns, as well as ethic and licensing board complaints and lawsuits. Psychologists who find themselves subjected to a nuisance or unsubstantiated grievance may experience vulnerability, loneliness, PTSD symptoms, or professional and financial consequences. They often experience isolation and secondary traumatization. Our committee was particularly concerned with various organized efforts developed to help alleged perpetrators of interpersonal violence and others pursue board actions, ethics complaints and nuisance lawsuits against psychologists who have served as therapist, forensic evaluator, expert witness, or client advocate for victims of interpersonal violence. Templates to file such complaints have been developed by various groups. In addition, our committee was concerned about the negative perceptions portrayed in the media and among consumers about psychologists and psychotherapy. Such perceptions could have far reaching implications for policy and practice. For example, malpractice insurance carriers may attempt to deny converge to psychologists working with clients who have experienced various forms of interpersonal violence.

Extractions: Home Violence Aging Healthy Adolescents Project ... Publications The American Psychological Association's Presidential Task Force on Violence and the Family was convened to bring psychological research and clinical experience to bear on the troubling problem of violence in the family and to make recommendations for solutions. The task force faced a formidable challenge: Although considerable work has been done in areas such as child abuse, partner abuse, dating violence, elder abuse, and adult survivors of childhood abuse, only recently have the disparate forms of abuse that occur in the home been considered as part of a unified field of study with important cross currents and linkages. Furthermore, because standard definitions of key terms have not been adopted, communication across disciplines has been difficult, and much confusion has arisen when researchers and journalists attempt to draw conclusions by comparing studies in which different definitions are used. The task force defined family violence and abuse as including a range of physical, sexual, and emotional maltreatment by one family member against another; according to this definition, the term

Legal Advocacy Against Racist Violence In Spain
The project on legal Advocacy Against Racist violence in Spain will document, Publication of the report will provide the occasion for further advocacy
http://www.justiceinitiative.org/activities/ec/ec_spain

Extractions: The behavior of law enforcement officers is especially troubling. Spanish police and security personnel have been widely criticized for discriminatory identity checks, insulting and abusive speech, and ill-treatment and violence towards ethnic minorities and people of non-Spanish descent. These agents benefit from a system of impunity, which protects those accused of racially-motivated violence. Effective investigations of racially-motivated violence are rare (especially where the accused perpetrator(s) are state agents themselves), and victims who do bring complaints are often the targets of harassment and countercharges. Fear or reprisals often make victims of racist violence unwilling or unable to make complaints. When they do come forward, they must contend with inadequate legal aid, bias and widespread ignorance of applicable law on the part of judicial authorities.

Extractions: Zikhethele: Using the Law to end Domestic Violence The Domestic Violence Act 116 of 1998 came into operation on 15 December 1999. This new Act was generally welcomed for trying to fill in gaps in the preceding legislation. Unfortunately, the Act is quite complicated and not always easy to understand. For this reason, the Gender Project, in association with Tshwaranang Legal Advocacy Centre, has produced a booklet to explain the new legal provisions in accessible language. The booklet also sets out other legal options available to victims of domestic violence, such as making a case with police, getting divorced from the abuser and claiming maintenance for young children. Pamphlet produced by the Gender Project, 2000 The Gender Project has produced an information pamphlet which sets out the different ways in which the law can deal with sex work. The pamphlet explains which acts are currently against the law in South Africa, and then briefly defines the different legal options, namely decriminalisation, legalisation and criminalisation. It also explains the practical implications of each legal model. The Gender Project has also completed a paper on the possible implications of legalisation for outdoor sex workers in South Africa.
