  • Coercive Control in Domestic Relationships
    Submission No 109 COERCIVE CONTROL IN DOMESTIC RELATIONSHIPS Name: Professor Marilyn McMahon and Mr Paul McGorrery Position: Deputy Dean Date Received: 3 February 2021 3 February 2021 Natalie Ward MP Chair, Joint Select Committee on Coercive Control CC: Trish Doyle MP (Deputy Chair) Abigail Boyd MP (Member) Justin Clancy MP (Member) Steph Cooke MP (Member) Rod Roberts MP (Member) Peter Sidgreaves MP (Member) Anna Watson MP (Member) Dear Ms Ward and Committee Members, RE: CRIMINALISING COERCIVE CONTROL IN NSW Thank you for the invitation to make a submission in response to the discussion paper published in October 2020 about whether NSW criminal law should be extended to capture what is now commonly referred to as coercive control. The discussion paper discusses a broad range of issues. There are no doubt many reforms across the criminal law and related areas that would benefit from review in light of our contemporary understanding of domestic abuse. Our submission is, however, limited to the issue of whether a new, standalone offence should be enacted to criminalise the behaviours known as ‘coercive control.’ We understand the term ‘coercive control’ to refer to a pattern of control and domination in a domestic relationship that can include verbal, economic and psychological abuse, as well as sexual and physical violence. The term is commonly associated with the work of Evan Stark but should not be dependent on that single stream of research and advocacy. The issue of criminalising ‘coercive control’ is significant because many of these abusive behaviours are not yet criminalised, and those that are directly or indirectly criminalised do not adequately recognise the harms caused and/or are difficult to enforce.

  • Outdoor Education: Its Origins and Institutionalisation in Schools with Particular Reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire Since 1945
    Outdoor Education: Its origins and institutionalisation in schools with particular reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire since 1945 Lynn Cook Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD The University of Leeds School of Education July 2000 The candidate confirms that the work is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to express my thanks to Professor E. W. Jenkins of the School of Education for his supervision throughout the period of study. His comments on the numerous drafts and his constructive suggestions as to the approach and style of the study greatly assisted me in bringing this study to its present form. I am thankful to all the people who gave their time so willingly and helped me in obtaining the necessary information for my study. Finally thanks are due to my husband Sam, my family, friends and colleagues without whose patience and faith in me this study would not have been completed. ABSTRACT This thesis offers an account of the origins and institutionalisation of outdoor education with particular reference to the West Riding of Yorkshire since 1945. It begins by describing what was understood by the term 'outdoor education' in the period from about 1890 to 1944 and relates this to its political, social and educational determinants. It then draws upon this broad, national account to focus attention on the origins and institutionalisation of outdoor education in the West Riding since 1945. Through an account of Bewerley Park, first as a camp school and later as an outdoor pursuits centre, the thesis explores how, under the influence of Alec Clegg, outdoor education was used by the West Riding to mitigate social and economic inequalities.

  • 1 Glasgow 2014, the Media and Scottish Politics
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR Glasgow 2014, the media and Scottish politics – the (post)imperial symbolism of the Commonwealth Games Stuart Whigham, Jack Black Abstract This article critically examines print media discourses regarding the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The forthcoming analysis considers the political symbolism of the Commonwealth Games with regards to the interlinkages between the British Empire, sport and the global political status of the UK, with specific consideration given to the UK’s declining global power as well as the interconnections between the 2014 Games and the Scottish independence referendum. Hechter’s (1975) ‘internal colonialism’ thesis, which portrays Scotland’s marginalised status within the UK, is drawn upon to critically explore the political symbolism of sport for Scottish nationalism, before discussion focuses upon the extent to which the modern Commonwealth is symptomatic of the UK’s declining status as a global power. Finally, the existence of these narrative tropes in print media coverage of the Commonwealth Games is examined, allowing for critical reflections on the continuing interconnections between the media, sport, nationalism and post-imperial global politics. Keywords British Empire, media discourse, post-imperialism, nationalism, sport, Commonwealth Games 1 Introduction The link between empire and the UK’s various ‘nationalisms’ has proved a valuable line of enquiry for those considering contemporary renditions of Britishness (Mycock, 2010). Advocates of the ‘new imperial history’ have recited a ‘shared … determination to demonstrate that it was [and is] impossible to separate the histories of Britain and its Empire because they were, politically and culturally, mutually constitutive of each other’ (Vernon, 2016: 21).
