Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions. -
Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team June 2001 Annual Report Executive Summary
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FATALITY REVIEW TEAM JUNE 2001 ANNUAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams were first formed in Florida in the mid – 1990’s. These Teams began as local initiatives supported with federal grant funds. Their goal is to examine in depth cases that resulted in a domestic violence fatality to try to identify potential changes in policy or procedures that might prevent a future death. These Teams work independently and are comprised of representatives from law enforcement, the courts, social services, State Attorneys, Domestic Violence Centers and others who may come into contact with domestic violence victims and perpetrators. In 2000, the Florida Legislature enacted s. 741.316, F.S., which recognizes the work of these Teams and calls for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to develop a standard data collection form to gather information from the local Fatality Review Teams to publish in an annual state-level report. After this law became effective on July 1, 2000, FDLE staff worked quickly to establish relationships with the 10 existing Fatality Review Teams and with six new Teams that formed in response to the legislation. In creating a standard data collection tool to be used statewide, FDLE staff researched existing procedures and data collection tools and involved the Teams in the developmental process. Within six months, in January 2001, FDLE provided a standard data collection form and manual, which all 16 teams began using. Because actual standardized data collection did not begin until this year, the first Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team Annual Report contains very little data. -

The News Coverage of Honour Killings in Canadian Newspapers
The News Coverage of Honour Killings in Canadian Newspapers By Negin Vatandoost A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in The Faculty of Social Science and Humanities Criminology University of Ontario Institute of Technology May 2012 © Negin Vatandoost, 2012 Abstract The issue of honour killings has become a prominent topic of discussion in the Western discourse of violence against immigrant women. In Canada, particularly, the recent high-profile cases of honour killings have drawn increased attention from the media, academics and the public. The prevalent discussion links these murders to the broader issues of immigration, multiculturalism, and violence against immigrant women. In this thesis, I examine the nature of honour killings, their components, and the discourse of honour killings in its Canadian context. In doing so, I conduct a textual analysis of the representation of three recent honour killings in two major Canadian newspapers; The Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail. Results suggest that honour killings touched a nerve in Canadian media leading to the use of culturalist approaches to understand and represent these killings. This culturalist approach to the debate created serious obstacles for clarifying or explaining this form of violence against women. It further hindered any constructive public debate about ending these killings. The consequences of the culturalist approach to honour killings as well as recommendations for future research and theoretical developments in this area of violence against women are suggested. Key words: honour, honour killings, media, violence against immigrant women, culture, Islam ii This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Dua Khalil Asvad, a 17 year-old Kurdish girl who murdered in front of hundreds of men for falling in love with a boy, a murder that is named ‗honour killing‘. -

Intrafamily Femicide in Defence of Honour: the Case of Jordan
Third WorldQuarterly, Vol22, No 1, pp 65 – 82, 2001 Intrafamilyf emicidein de fenceo f honour:the case o fJordan FADIA FAQIR ABSTRACT This article deals with the issue of honourkillings, aparticular type of intrafamily femicide in defenceof honourin Jordan.The legal, social, religious, nationalist andtribal dimensionsand arguments on such killings are presented.Drawing on Arabic and English source material the role ofrumour, social values andother dynamicsin normalisingthis practice in Jordantoday is analysed.Honour killings, whichcontradict manyinternational andnational laws andcovenants, are clearly connectedto the subordinationof womenin Jordanand to the ‘criming down’of domestic violence.The prevailing discrim- inatory culture cannotchange without implementing a comprehensivepro- grammefor socio-legal andpolitical reform. The debateon harm Scholarlyconcentration on harm to womenhas beencriticised recently bymany feminists, whoargue that the debatefocuses solely onviolence, victimisation andoppression of women. 1 TheArab world, however, has notreached the stage wherea similar debateis possible becausedocumentation of and discussion aboutviolence against womenare still in the infancystage. Suchdebates within the Anglo-Saxoncontext, theref ore,do not seem relevant in their entirety to Arabwomen’ s experiences,since most suchwomen are still occupantsof the domestic, private space.Other Western theories, models andanalysis, however, canbe transferred andapplied (with caution)to the Arabexperience of gender violence,which is still largely undocumented. Whatis violence againstwomen? Violenceis the use ofphysical forceto inict injuryon others,but this denition couldbe widened to includeimproper treatment orverbal abuse. It takes place atmacrolevels, amongnation states andwithin communities, andat micro levels within intimate relationships. Theuse ofviolence to maintain privilege turned graduallyinto ‘the systematic andglobal destruction ofwomen’ , 2 orfemicide, 3 with the institutionalisation ofpatriarchy over the centuries. -
Death and the Female Body in Homer, Vergil, and Ovid
DEATH AND THE FEMALE BODY IN HOMER, VERGIL, AND OVID Katherine De Boer Simons A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Depart- ment of Classics. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Sharon L. James James J. O’Hara William H. Race Alison Keith Laurel Fulkerson © 2016 Katherine De Boer Simons ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KATHERINE DE BOER SIMONS: Death and the Female Body in Homer, Vergil, and Ovid (Under the direction of Sharon L. James) This study investigates the treatment of women and death in three major epic poems of the classical world: Homer’s Odyssey, Vergil’s Aeneid, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses. I rely on recent work in the areas of embodiment and media studies to consider dead and dying female bodies as representations of a sexual politics that figures women as threatening and even mon- strous. I argue that the Odyssey initiates a program of linking female death to women’s sexual status and social class that is recapitulated and intensified by Vergil. Both the Odyssey and the Aeneid punish transgressive women with suffering in death, but Vergil further spectacularizes violent female deaths, narrating them in “carnographic” detail. The Metamorphoses, on the other hand, subverts the Homeric and Vergilian model of female sexuality to present the female body as endangered rather than dangerous, and threatened rather than threatening. In Ovid’s poem, women are overwhelmingly depicted as brutalized victims regardless of their sexual status, and the female body is consistently represented as bloodied in death and twisted in metamorphosis. -

Medico Legal Implications of Homicide Followed by Suicide
Review article UDC: 616.89-008.44:340.6 doi:10.5633/amm.2019.0416 MEDICO LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF HOMICIDE FOLLOWED BY SUICIDE Stevan Todorović1, Aleksandra Antović1,2 Homicide followed by suicide, in the literature known as homicide-suicide (H-S), repre- sents a distinct entity of homicide phenomenon which implies the suicide of a perpetrator after killing one or more persons. Dyadic death (DD) belongs to a special subgroup of H-S and im- plies the suicide of a perpetrator after killing a single victim. The perpetrator is most often a man in his forties who commits suicide soon after killing his wife or intimate partner because of separation or alienation. The scientific literature has identified various categories of H-S and DD that include killing a victim followed by the suicide of a perpetrator as a part of marital violence caused by jealousy or anxiety due to growing old and/or poor health of marital partners, and more rarely as a part of family violence or when a parent kills his/her child and then him/ herself. Groups of the so-called extra-familial H-S include a mixed group of perpetrators com- posed of dissatisfied workers, members of different cults, religious or political groups who, as a rule, do not kill one, but more victims. Due to the number of victims, such cases do not fall into the DD category from a medico legal point of view. Acta Medica Medianae 2019;58(4):105-112.
