    Domestic homicide in New Brunswick, 1999–2008
    (2012) Gill, Carmen
    After the announcement by the provincial government in 2009 of the creation of a domestic violence death review committee (DVDRC) and the announcement by Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General in February 2010 of work starting by DVDRC members, the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for Family Violence Research (MMFC) was approached to conduct a study of domestic homicide in New Brunswick. The research was conducted between June and December 2010. Few studies have been conducted on domestic homicide in the province of New Brunswick and none have examined all deaths related to domestic violence. This study is an attempt to present a comprehensive analysis of domestic violence deaths over a 10-year period (1999–2008), in the province of New Brunswick. The objective of this examination of domestic violence fatalities is to better understand what leads to death in domestic violence situations in order to prevent future deaths. Three main questions led the study: 1) What can we learn from domestic homicide cases in New Brunswick?, 2) What are the risk factors of domestic homicide?, and 3) What steps can be taken to prevent domestic homicide from happening? A comprehensive analysis of domestic violence deaths over a 10-year period (1999–2008) will identify deaths directly or indirectly caused by domestic violence, will track the prevalence of evidence-based risk factors for domestic homicide, and will help to understand the unique etiology of domestic homicides. Given that it is only recently that researchers have taken a retrospective examination of domestic homicide to learn about and prevent domestic violence this report includes a description of the process of creating the sample; the methodology for the review of all cases and its limitations; a statistical analysis; and recommendations for consideration to the Committee/Chief Coroner.

    Action for change: empowering women victims of intimate partner violence to build healthier and safer lives
    (2013) Han, Reni; Abdou-McFarland, Najat
    Intervening in situations of intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most difficult aspects of social work practice and social workers often encounter victims/survivors during their years of practice. Recognizing this, the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers (NBASW) in partnership with the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre on Family Violence Research (MMFC) at the University of New Brunswick; the Government of New Brunswick’s Department of Social Development; and the Government of New Brunswick’s Women’s Issues Branch of the Executive Council Office developed “Understanding the Impact of Intimate Partner Violence – Helping Social Workers to Better Intervene”, a train-the-trainer program for social workers in New Brunswick. This program was designed to "assist those who are in a position to deliver training to social workers about the impact of and effective responses to intimate partner violence; in other words, to build the capacity of social workers to effectively intervene in situations of intimate partner violence" (Understanding the Impact of Intimate Partner Violence - Helping Social Workers to Better Intervene: A Train-the-Trainer Manual for Delivering Training on Intimate Partner Violence to Social Workers, p.3). An Advisory Committee comprised of social workers from diverse workplaces was created to guide the overall development of the content and to ensure that generally, the information contained in the manual would be useful to social workers in all fields of practice. A Working Committee comprised of social workers from different fields of practice was formed to provide specific input on the content of “Understanding the Impact of Intimate Partner Violence – Helping Social Workers to Better Intervene”. MMFC initially delivered the train-the-trainer workshop to four social workers. These four individuals subsequently piloted the educational program with a cohort of 18 social workers practicing in diverse fields who provided feedback on how the educational program could be adjusted and improved. Adjustments were made to the curriculum based on their feedback. MMFC then worked with the Department of Social Development to identify and recruit the first set of social workers to be trained through the program. Thirty-three social workers were trained in English and French in early 2010. Seventy-eight percent of these participants worked with the Department of Social Development and the remaining 22% were from First Nations communities, community agencies or other government departments. Subsequently, five of these individuals implemented workshops for their peers and other professionals.

    The relationship between language and thought: Exploring Vygotsky and sociocultural approaches to second language research.
    (University of New Brunswick, 2013) Culligan, Karla
    This article introduces Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach to mind by reviewing two key interrelated themes taken from his work, namely, the social nature and origins of individual higher mental functions and the role of cultural tools as mediational means. Particular attention is given to language throughout the discussion, as language was of primary concern to Vygotsky and it also provides the link to second language research. Ways of viewing second language learning through a sociocultural lens are considered, with emphasis on a broadened view of the zone of proximal development and the notion of collaborative dialogue. The article points toward ways in which sociocultural approaches offer new and expanded methods of conducting and interpreting research in second language education.
