Isi artikel

Few studies have considered the nature of violence and its implications for Anglican clergy. A conventional victimological approach would go no further than to identify the social correlates of victims and perpetrators. While this enables us to establish patterns of violence we also need to draw on lifestyle and routine activity theory to understand violence. In addition, a more critical victimology suggests that we consider the role of socio-cultural and macro organizational factors. The purpose of this article is to explore the value of these approaches and it is structured as follows: first, it provides evidence of the degree and type of violence experienced by Anglican priests in urban and rural localities in the south east of England and their response; second, the article describes how clergy make sense of ‘everyday’ violence in these locations; and finally, it describes how this relates to the public and private worlds that they inhabit.
