"Pornography and Sexual Violence
Introduction
The question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence has been discussed by Scott and Cuvelier (1993) who make the point that there is a consensus that the amount of sexually violent material has increased dramatically in recent years and that the violence in pornography is associated with increased violence toward women. Barron and Kimmel (2000) note that sexually violent content in magazine, video, and Internet pornography tends to victimize women and present visions of women's victimization as acceptable forms of sexual activity. This brief report will examine the question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence against women and men as well as children.

Abstract
This paper discusses sexual violence in correctional facilities. It discusses the prevalence of these acts, as reported by The Boston Globe correspondent Michael Levenson, who notes that in his state alone prisoners in Massachusetts reported 63 alleged rapes sexual assaults and incidents of sexual misconduct last year, and that this statistic probably reflects only a small portion of the sexual violence behind bars.
From the Paper
"Sexual Violence in Correctional Facilities In a recent report for The Boston Globe, correspondent Michael Levenson notes that in his state alone, "Prisoners in Massachusetts reported 63 alleged rapes, sexual assaults, and incidents of sexual misconduct last year" and that this statistic "probably reflects only a small portion of the sexual violence behind bars" (Levenson). These types of statistics, as well as the unspoken problem of prison rape and sexual assault, have long been overlooked in society as just an existent, but unavoidable, evil. However, the United States Government, in a recent report, has attempted to get to the bottom of this problem. This essay will review the government's study, looking at the trends, problems, and penalties associated with sexual violence in the nation's correctional facilities. In their study, entitled "Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2004," Allen J. Beck and Timothy A. Hughes have uncovered some serious trends among incidents of prison-related sexual violence."

Abstract
This paper takes the position that pornography promotes sexual violence against women and cites several factors that support this position. It also explores some of the reasons the issue of pornography has been so controversial and some of the arguments made by proponents of pornography.
From the Paper
"Defining and regulating pornography has been a difficult task for the United States where free speech is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and is the backbone of what defines us as a free society. Webster?s Dictionary defines pornography as: writings, pictures, etc. intended primarily to arouse sexual desire. (Neufeldt et al.) Though different people may argue over the definitions and reasons for pornography ?the producers, sellers, and consumers of pornography have a clear understanding of its meaning. For them it is a written or visual product showing sexual anatomy and/or sexual activity designed to promote sexual arousal.? (McCuen) But does pornography in and of itself promote sexual violence against women? There is no doubt that through the ages many men have sought and attained sexual access through violent action or the threat of such action. No national culture has been without rape. The forcible sexual assault of strangers, associates, friends and relatives alike has been a universal occurrence throughout the history of mankind, and it has remained so in contemporary society."

Abstract
This paper examines the connection between violence and sexuality. The writer discusses the belief that violence and sexuality are very closely related.
From the Paper
"Violence and sexuality are closely related on several levels. Although either can exist completely independently of the other they are often found in conjunction with one another so an affinity obviously exists between them that deserves exploration. Violence is most often the result of anger, unreasoning rage to be exact. The rage though, has a source of its own, it is the result of fear. Many violent people have been the victims of violence themselves at some point often through rape ... "

Abstract
This program addresses the the issues of violence and sexual abuse prevention in low income, high-risk communities. It is innovative because it focuses on three primary groups, the teachers, student and parents only. Traditionally programs of this nature would include schools officials and other community entities. However, this program targets the groups that are most critical in relation to receiving knowledge relating to these issues. Furthermore, the program is extensive in that it functions in relation to these groups for a three-year period, rather than attempt to initiate changes and then disappear from the community. Education of the affected groups is significant within the model, which will allow a measurement of the program progress over the duration of the model.

Mao vs. the Mahatma: Violence vs. Non-Violence, 2002.
A study of the issues of violence vs. non-violence in the cases of Mao Tse Dung and Mohandas K. Gandhi.

»

Abstract
The paper weighs the issues of violence vs. non-violence and shows the lives and histories of Mao Tse Dung of China and Gandhi of India as examples. The paper discusses these two leaders who dealt extensively in their lifetimes with the struggle between violence and non-violence. It shows that on the surface, Chairman Mao espoused violence and used it as a tool to defeat an army of four million, gain power over a country with a trillion dollar economy and hold power for 25 years, and that Gandhi rose to ?power? while leading a peaceful revolution among the 600 million Indian citizens -- Hindus and Muslims alike -- that resulted in tens of thousands of Indian deaths, very few British deaths, but eventually in Indian independence and creation of the largest democracy in the world.
From the Paper
"But indeed, Gandhi knew there was a place for violence as well. In a much forgotten move, Gandhi essentially postponed India?s peaceful revolution at the onset of World War II. He recognized Nazi Germany as a much more malevolent force than the British Empire, in all their imperial misery, could ever be. As a result, he led the movement for Indians not only to stop resisting the British during World War II, but to actually comply with their orders. In fact, India entered the war itself and was particularly helpful to Britain in the North African campaigns."

Violence vs. Non-Violence, 2002.
Discusses the merits of using non-violent methods to promote social change and justice instead of militant methods.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Nonviolence as a method of resistance has a long history that precedes the modern examples of Ghandi and King. As Martin Luther King stated, it is not the choice between nonviolence and violence, it is the choice between nonviolence and non-existence. Some activists believe that nonviolent methods are too weak, that more militant forms of disruption are needed to bring about social change. During the civil rights movement and other historical campaigns for justice, disruptive tactics were crucial to political effectiveness. Only by preserving nonviolent discipline can the movement occupy and hold the moral high ground and win political support for necessary social change.

The Role of Television Violence on Real Life Violence, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that, considering the gravity of the issue, many child-experts, psychologists, and the medical community are treating TV-induced violence as an issue of serious public health concern. The author points out that the media, without reducing the drama, could depict violence as the last resort for heroes and show criminals as fools and their use of weapons as shortsighted and weak; they could describe the impact of violence on the victims, the witnesses, and the criminals themselves. The paper relates that ratings and advertisers are the primary concern of commercial television, not public interest groups that want to restrict the sex and violence on network television.
From the Paper
"Certain studies suggest the positive use of TV. From the so-called reality TV programs, we can learn a lot if only we put them in proper order. Is the TV so corruptive as they seem to be? Critic Michael Medved gives a negative answer. If it were so, then film critics would have made the largest number of murders in the country. The TV elects mayors, senators and presidents, and influence or cause warfare, as in Iraq, Somalia and Yugoslavia. Sen. Brownback writes, television rules the society because it is invasive, because it has its influence on people and it has the dominant influence on the culture. On the other hand, some studies show that TV programs can make children more considerate and kind by demonstrating caring, helping programs that show cooperation. Stanford University studies state less TV equals less violence. This university earlier this year, releasing its landmark study, stated of a 40% decrease in physical aggression and a 50%decreace in verbal aggression merely encouraging children to switch off video games and TVs."

Abstract
This paper explains that statistical data indicates many similarities in domestic and sexual violence in Canada and in India. The author points out that domestic violence is much more widespread than it is reported. The paper examines attitudes towards these two crimes and towards the victims.
From the Paper
"As we look back on the twentieth century, one fact is inescapable - enormous change has occurred in how we think about gender in daily life. It is only in the last hundred years or so that women in our society have been given the rights that we take for granted now: the right to vote, the right to choose a career, a marriage partner and the number of children she will have. However, there are many societies where women still do not have the majority of the choices mentioned above."

Women Victims of Violence, 2005.
This paper based on a collection of feminist essays about women, sexuality and violence.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 1 source, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper review eight feminist essays, which support the argument for the way different cultural influences continue to promote ideas of women as sexual objects. The author points out that physical, sexual, and social and economic violence against women is somehow acceptable. The paper relates that North America has not stopping commodifying female sexuality, any more than it has stopped dominating and sometimes oppressing women.
From the Paper
"This paper discusses a range of articles that pertain to different aspects of women's commodification by men, usually as sex objects, and as this connects to male violence against women as an often accepted phenomenon. It is not that cultural mores have tolerated male violence against women so much as the fact that male violence against women occurs, at all, that makes these connections ominous. It should be a bizarre irony that love relationships so often involve male domination and violence against women. "

Articles on Criminal Violence, 2006.
This paper discusses two articles on the causation of criminal violence based on Edwin Sutherland's theory of differential association in crime.
750 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Edwin Sutherland's theory of differential association suggests that individuals learn criminal behaviors by imitating behavior and ideas about criminality from people with whom they routinely associate. The author points out that the R.L. Peralta and J.M. Cruz article, "Conferring Meaning onto Alcohol-Related Violence: An Analysis of Alcohol Use and Gender in a Sample of College Youth", emphasizes that many college males "learn" (1) to demonstrate violent or aggressive tendencies as "macho" behavior and (2) to abuse alcohol as a socially acceptable form of entertainment. The paper relates that the study by B.S. Fisher, F.T. Cullen and M.G. Turner, "The Sexual Victimization Of College Women", suggests that people "learn" to engage in acts of sexual violence by discovering (1) that violence can be used to overpower other people, especially women, and (2) that sexual violence can be a mechanism for alleviating their own chronic problems including stress or guilt associated with a history of sexual violence as a child.

From the Paper
"I shared the information and insights gathered from this study with a friend of mine who works as a paramedic with an emergency medical team. Having witnessed many acts of violence and treated many women for sexual assault, the individual agreed that violence and substance abuse patterns often seem to be "learned" behaviors. He also felt that he could distinguish patterns of behavior among certain populations in particularly, including among those with low socioeconomic backgrounds or education."

Abstract
It is vital to point out that societal structures and family arrangements create institutions which set the foundation for the sexual exploitation of women. This paper connects this topic to our society's definition of the role of the family. Barry demonstrates how prostitutes are sexual slaves and not just through sex. She argues that men who control society, set up institutions which allow the exploitation and objectification of women to occur, because it is in their interest to do so.

Violence In Canadian Society: A Rising Trend?, 2001.
An examination of increasing violence in Western society

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the wide range of studies which indicate that rates of violent crime have increased signigicantly within Western society since the 1960s. The author argues that the fluid nature of violence over time are not taken into account in these studies and looks at possible reasons why.
From the paper:
"Open any newspaper, or tune in to any news broadcast today, and you will receive accounts of many incidents of violence. Over time these incidents will take on any number of forms. Any specific incident, which occurs, especially in the case of murder, will almost certainly be disseminated on the news. These incidents will include homicides, violence against women, violence by and against children, labour violence and violence in the workplace, violence perpetrated by police officers, and non-culpable forms of violence such as car accidents, and wars (Ross, 1995). This coverage is conducive in adding to the position held by many in the media that violence in Canada is more widespread than it was fifty years ago. They would argue that ?Canada of the early twenty-first century is a more violent place in which to live than Canada in the 1950s."
