  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

  • Men's Rights and Feminist Advocacy in Canadian Domestic Violence
    Feminist Criminology Volume 3 Number 1 January 2008 44-75 © 2008 Sage Publications 10.1177/1557085107311067 Men’s Rights and Feminist http://fc.sagepub.com hosted at Advocacy in Canadian Domestic http://online.sagepub.com Violence Policy Arenas Contexts, Dynamics, and Outcomes of Antifeminist Backlash Ruth M. Mann University of Windsor This article examines government and advocacy group texts on three recent Canadian domestic violence policy moments. Drawing on governance, feminist poststructuralist, and social movement perspectives, it examines men’s rights advocates’ and feminists’ discursive actions and their influence on officials. The research aim is to explore the provisional, intrinsically incomplete, and indeed questionable success, to date, of Canadian anti–domestic violence advocates’ strategies and tactics of resisting men’s advocates’ efforts to delegitimize gendered constructions of domestic violence. At the level of political action, the article contributes to efforts by feminists internationally to safeguard protections and supports for abused women and children in a political context marked by the increasingly prominent influence of men’s rights and associated antiprogressive backlash. Keywords: feminist; feminism; backlash; Canada; violence against women; men’s rights; international domestic violence; domestic violence; governance; subjectivities; social movements he overtly angry antifeminist backlash voice of men’s or fathers’ rights has Tbecome an increasingly vocal, visible, and organized presence in public dis- course on domestic violence and family law across Western jurisdictions (Bala,1999; Berns, 2004; Boyd, 2003; Boyd & Young, 2002; Chesney-Lind, 2006; DeKeseredy, 1999, 2006; Jaffe & Crooks, 2004; Kimmel, 2002; Laing, 1999; Mandell, 2002; Mann, 2005, 2007; Messner, 1998; Minaker & Snider, 2006; Rhoades & Boyd, 2006; Schwartz, 2005).

  • Inside Queen's Park
    INSIDE QUEEN’S PARK Vol. 27, No. 02 GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ANALYSIS January 22, 2014 TWO MORE BY-ELECTIONS KEY FOR ALL THREE PARTIES Graham Murray I spent the day before the Niagara Falls and Thornhill by-elections were announced with a bunch of stakeholders who had been invited to the Elections Ontario HQ in Scarborough to offer suggestions on the organization’s ‘Next Generation’ Website. After we served up our demands, together with some blunt criticisms, Ontario elections chief Greg Essensa walked us out across the vast loading floor and along the rows of industrial shelving groaning with plastic-wrapped skids full of voters’ lists, blank ballots, instruction manuals and everything else needed by returning officers to unpack an ‘election in a box’. And primed to pick them up when “the writ drops” is a logistics fleet with more than 60 semi-trailers. Your brush with the pending “election-event” (as they term it in electo-speak) may be fleeting but Essensa, his permanent staff and the thousands recruited to conduct the vote in 107 ridings, are in for a month of late hours. (Back in the day, a provincial election could last for as long as 45 days but the Election Act now requires it be squeezed into a standard 29 days.) Only a couple of those semi-trailers would have pulled out of EO’s Rolark Drive launch-pad 24 hours after our Jan. 17 visit because Premier Wynne had formally initiated a pair of by-elections, in Niagara Falls and Thornhill, leaving the electoral machinery ticking over to await the spring general election which most observers expect to see unleashed a few months hence.
