Female Perpetrated Domestic Abuse: A Study Exploring the Hidden Experiences of Male Victims through a Thematic Analysis of Online Blogs

Despite a great deal of academic literature surrounding domestic abuse in general, it is fair to suggest that the majority of research focuses on male perpetrated domestic abuse and the female victim. This therefore neglects the complexity of domestic abuse as a crime, whilst also undermining and causing further implications for the unrecognised and under researched male victim. Considering how much extensive research has been undertaken to explore female victim experiences of domestic abuse, this study sets out to explore the ‘hidden’ male victim. It will be evidenced through the collection and thematic analysis of eight online male victim blogs, that although little research exists on this area of domestic abuse, the stigmatisation, subjection of abuse, damaging effects and further complications caused by the abuse are just as prominent, if not more prominent and destructive for male victims of domestic abuse than their female counterpart

Has Abe boosted Japanese confidence enough to get out of stagnation? An early evaluation of Abenomics

The Japanese economy has since the beginning of the 1990’s suffered from a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Known as the Lost Decade, but extending its influence well into the 2000’s and beyond, many attempts has been made to reverse the stagnation. The latest of these has come to be known as Abenomics and is headed by incumbent Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. In this essay we investigate whether the economic policies under Abenomics have boosted economic confidence in Japan enough to reverse the stagnation. Our findings support that Abenomics have had strong effects on both consumer confidence as well as business confidence. Both types of confidence rose sharply in response to its policies and were accompanied by sizeable increases in both consumption as well as investment, contributing to increased growth in GDP and improvement in unemployment. Deflation has been reversed into a positive rate of inflation for the first time in decades. While it is too early to definitely say whether or not Abenomics is the cure needed to end the Japanese economic stagnation, the preliminary outlook is very promising
