Abstract
The violent behavior of fascist Orthodox clerics serving in the Transnistrian Orthodox Mission during World War II contributed to the "Romanianization" of Transnistria initiated by the Antonescu government in 1941. These churchmen stand out as bystanders, beneficiaries, and even perpetrators of the Holocaust. Subscribing to the antisemitic programs of the outlawed Iron Guard and of the Antonescu government, these men took an active part in exploiting, robbing, and even murdering both local Jews and other deportees from Bessarabia, Bucovina, and elsewhere in Romania. They illustrate both the suffusion of fascist ideology into all sectors of Romanian society and the role of clergy at every level.

Little is known about the factors that facilitate change in interventions designed for intimate partner perpetrators. This qualitative study examined factors perpetrators in a voluntary-based batterer programme had experienced as having helped them reduce their intimate partner violence. The data were drawn from video-recorded group meetings.
The data comprised recordings of 30 videotaped weekly group sessions held over a two-year period. The data were analysed by data-driven content analysis. We also examined which of the participants – facilitators or perpetrators – initiated discussion on factors helpful in reducing intimate partner violence
Multiple factors that perpetrators had found useful in reducing their violent behaviours were found: New skills, Changes in attitudes and ways of thinking, Receiving peer support in the group, and Increased personal well-being and functioning. These factors might be connected as part of a process of critical self-reflection which was enabled through reduced feelings of shame and increased empathy. These discussions began at the initiative of the facilitator or group members, by sharing the experiences of another group member, or by open-ended questions from group members to others.

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a serious and overwhelming public concern. Neuroimaging techniques have provided insights into the brain mechanisms underlying IPVAW perpetration. The purpose of this study is to examine the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) involving the process of social decision-making of male perpetrators. Twenty-six male perpetrators convicted for an IPVAW crime were compared to 29 men convicted for crimes other than IPVAW (other offenders) and 29 men with no criminal records (non-offenders) using a seed-based approach. Seeds were located in areas involved in reflective (prefrontal), impulsive (amygdala and striatum) and interoceptive (insula) processing. Then, as an exploratory analysis, the connectivity networks on male perpetrators were correlated with measures of executive functions and socioemotional self-report measures. Male perpetrators in comparison to other offenders and non-offenders, presented higher rsFC between prefrontal, limbic, brainstem, temporal and basal ganglia areas. Also male perpetrators showed higher rsFC between insula, default mode network and basal ganglia, while lower rsFC was found between prefrontal and motor areas and between amygdala, occipital and parietal areas. Exploratory correlations suggest that the specific rsFC in male perpetrators might be more related to socioemotional processes than to executive functions. These results showed that male perpetrators present a specific rsFC in brain systems that are essential for an adaptive social decision-making. ; Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness PSI201679481-R PID2019111565GB ; Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport (University Faculty Training program) FPU15/04335 ; Spanish Government FJCI-2017-33396 ; Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCYC) CTS-581

Discusses the point of women's inscription as Canadian citizens & addresses its manifestation in public policy. The defining period for Canadian women's citizenship is seen as from the 1880s to the 1920s, culminating in the right to vote. Women could be recognized as citizens in two ways: as mothers & as humans. The primacy of maternal feminism is noted, & the construction of this form of citizenship is demonstrated through an examination of those areas in which women took the lead in social reform, eg, settlement houses, local councils, specialized children's hospitals, advocacy for teaching domestic science in school, & the prohibition movement. This activism set the stage for women achieving the right to vote. It is contended that Canadian public policy has considered gender more for some issues than for others & this is seen as a function of the particular characteristics ascribed to women as citizens; ie, their role as mothers is viewed as more salient than anything related to equality. To illustrate, a comparison is made between policies focused on violence against women, where state intervention is serious, & those focused on equal pay, where Canada has been less successful. J.
