Groups and communities at risk of domestic and family violence: a review and evaluation of domestic and family violence prevention and early intervention services focusing on at-risk groups and communities

A review and evaluation of domestic and family violence prevention and early intervention services focusing on at-risk groups and communities. Summary This report sets out the findings of research into domestic and family violence (DFV) prevention initiatives focused on groups and communities identified as being at greater risk of experiencing DFV and/or having difficulty accessing support services. These groups include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, women from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities (CALD), people who identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual, Intersex and Queer (GLBTIQ), young women and women in regional, rural and remote (non-urban) communitie

Children affected by domestic and family violence: a review of domestic and family violence prevention, early intervention and response services

This report sets out the findings of research into domestic and family violence prevention, early intervention and response for children aged 0–8 years in New South Wales. Executive summary The report contributes to the development of the knowledge base on DFV prevention, early intervention and response strategies and the needs of children, and supports the implementation of aspects of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children and the NSW Government’s It Stops Here: Standing Together to end Domestic and Family Violence in NSW strategy. The research had two areas of focus: synthesising the literature on the impacts of DFV on children, and on the evidence for primary prevention and early intervention strategies for children aged 0–8 years; and identifying best practice approaches for primary prevention, early intervention and response for children aged 0–8, and identifying the extent to which these needs are met within existing DVF primary prevention, early intervention, and response approaches in Australia

The orbital evolution induced by baryonic condensation in triaxial haloes

Using spectral methods, we analyse the orbital structure of prolate/triaxial dark matter (DM) haloes in N-body simulations in an effort to understand the physical processes that drive the evolution of shapes of DM haloes and elliptical galaxies in which central masses are grown. A longstanding issue is whether the change in the shapes of DM haloes is the result of chaotic scattering of the major family of box orbits that serves as the backbone of a triaxial system, or whether they change shape adiabatically in response to the evolving galactic potential. We use the characteristic orbital frequencies to classify orbits into major orbital families, to quantify orbital shapes and to identify resonant orbits and chaotic orbits. The use of a frequency-based method for distinguishing between regular and chaotic N-body orbits overcomes the limitations of Lyapunov exponents which are sensitive to numerical discreteness effects. We show that regardless of the distribution of the baryonic component, the shape of a DM halo changes primarily due to changes in the shapes of individual orbits within a given family. Orbits with small pericentric radii are more likely to change both their orbital type and shape than orbits with large pericentric radii. Whether the evolution is regular (and reversible) or chaotic (and irreversible), it depends primarily on the radial distribution of the baryonic component. The growth of an extended baryonic component of any shape results in a regular and reversible change in orbital populations and shapes, features that are not expected for chaotic evolution. In contrast, the growth of a massive and compact central component results in chaotic scattering of a significant fraction of both box and long-axis tube orbits, even those with pericentre distances much larger than the size of the central component. Frequency maps show that the growth of a disc causes a significant fraction of halo particles to become trapped by major global orbital resonances. We find that despite the fact that shape of a DM halo is always quite oblate following the growth of a central baryonic component, a significant fraction of its orbit population has the characteristics of its triaxial or prolate progenito

Origins of Religious Language in Gubernatorial Speeches

Elected officials have to make decisions about how they wish to communicate with their constituencies. Assuming that these public officials are motivated by reelection, it becomes important for them to use their times of communication with their constituents to develop a sense of trust and relatability that will help to carry them through their next election. In this paper, I argue that religion is one level on which public officials attempt to appear relatable to their citizens in order to gain their trust. I use a sample of governors' State of the State speeches from 2004-2011 from which I gather data on how much religious language each speech contains. I also collected data on the percent of each state's population that would be classified as highly religious. After controlling for other possible intervening factors, I find support for the argument that governors do respond to the size of their state's religious population by using more religious rhetoric in their public speeches.Master of Art
