This book offers insights and perspectives from a study of
"Cultural Encounters in Intervention Against Violence" (CEINAV) in
four EU-countries. Seeking a deeper understanding of the
underpinnings of intervention practices in Germany, Portugal,
Slovenia and the United Kingdom, the team explored variations in
institutional structures and traditions of law, policing, and
social welfare. Theories of structural inequality and ethics are
discussed and translated into practice. Using a shared qualitative
methodology, space was created to listen to professionals
discussing the challenges of intervention and as well to hear
voices of women who had escaped domestic violence or trafficking
for sexual exploitation and of young people who had been taken into
care due to abuse or neglect. Voices of professionals as well as of
women and young people who have experienced intervention illuminate
how and why practices may differ. The authors examine how existing
theories can illuminate complex inequalities or encompass the
experiences of minorities against the background of European
colonial history, and what streams of ethical theory apply to the
dilemmas and challenges of intervention practice. Analytical
descriptions of the legal-institutional frameworks for each of the
three forms of violence set the stage for comparison. Drawing on a
rich store of empirical data, five chapters discuss key issues
facing policy-makers and practitioners seeking effective strategies
of intervention that can diminish violence while strengthening the
agency of women and children. Unique among comparative studies,
CEINAV integrated creative art workshops into the research and
involved both professionals and survivors of violence in the
process. "Reflections" include a discussion of different
intervention cultures in Europe, alongside working with different
voices and making cultural encounters visible through art. Overall
the authors argue that overcoming violence cannot be achieved by
standardising procedure but require an ethical foundation, for
which they offer a proposal.
