Manifestations of Ex-Partner/Parental Stalking in Children’s and Young People’s Lives
No full textThis chapter focuses on the manifestations of ex-partner/parental stalking in children's and young people's lives. It is based on the research findings and qualitative research materials of the Finnish project “Children's Knowing Agency in Private, Multiprofessional and Societal Settings: The Case of Parental Stalking.” We synthesize our findings in response to the following two questions: What are the manifestations of stalking from the child's viewpoint? And what impacts do these manifestations have on children's lives? Ex-partner stalking has multiple manifestations and relational, psychological, technological, and physical aspects that can severely constrain the everyday life of a child. This chapter highlights the need to understand and rationalize children's complex situations and experiences, as well as the need to share responsibilities and incorporate them into multidisciplinary work practices. Tackling ex-partner stalking requires multi-level measures over both professional and socio-political dimensions
Factors Preventing Children from Receiving Help:Barriers of the Service System and Gaps in Professional Expertise in the Cases of Ex-Partnership/Parental Stalking and Coercive Control
No full textWhy do children's rights systematically stay unrealized in professional helping processes related to parental stalking and coercive control? What are the challenges professionals face during these processes? Where do they stem from? Based on qualitative survey data, this chapter provides a nuanced and multidimensional understanding of the factors — related to the barriers within the service system and gaps in professionals’ expertise — that hinder professionals from offering help and impede the realization of children's rights during helping processes related to coercive control and parental/ex-partner stalking. This research creates a critical description of the challenges within the service system, with the ultimate aim being the development of professional practices and better realization of children's rights
Why Shed Light on Children in Cases of Ex-Partner Stalking?
No full textThis book describes and analyzes ex-partner stalking as a form of intimate partner violence from the perspective of children, about which little information is currently available. The objective of the book is to advance our knowledge and understanding of children's experiences and perspectives when one parent is stalking the other. and to provide insights on how to best help the children. The edited collection is written by academics and experienced practitioners who work in the field. The authors represent four countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and the U.S.) and approach the topic from a range of disciplines: criminology, psychology, public health, sociology, social work, and different therapeutic approaches. The book compromises nine chapters and is divided into three parts: 1) Ex-partner Stalking as a Multifaceted Phenomenon in Children's Lives, 2) Challenges in Identifying Children's Needs for Help, and 3) Encountering Ex-partner Stalking from the Child's Perspective. The chapters compile and synthesize theoretical literature and research findings and provide developed working methods and best practices for working with children exposed to ex-partner/parental stalking
Conclusions and Future Directions:Promoting Children’s and Young People’s Rights in Ex-Partner Stalking
No full textThis edited book on ex-partner stalking and children has brought together recent research findings, theoretical literature and experiences from practice written by both the academics and professionals. Book highlights that children should have the right not only to exercise their agency and participate in matters concerning themselves in the interventions but also to be protected from a parent's stalking behaviors. The realization of Articles 12, 19, 20, and 39 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) is crucial to protecting and helping children experiencing ex-partner stalking. Upholding and protecting children's rights in the context of exposure to and experiences with ex-partner stalking requires a concerted effort from governments, practitioners, and authorities. The chapter concludes with multiple further research needs. More interdisciplinary research is needed to augment our knowledge and understanding of children's experiences and perspectives of ex-partner stalking in the global context

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
