Initially fuzzy set theory (FST) was used to handle this type of uncertainty. Later, intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) was developed to encounter uncertainty in a more specific manner. However, it is observed that due to the existence of different types of uncertainties, the membership function (MF) of IFS itself is uncertain and consequently, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFS) came into the picture. But IVIFS is also not capable of handling uncertainty. To overcome the limitations of the existing IVIFS, generalized interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (GIVIFS) have been defined and it has been observed that it has utmost applicability in real world situations as the parameter height characterises the degree of buoyancy of judgment of decision maker in a very specific compartment.","PeriodicalId":315357,"journal":{"name":"The Open Cybernetics & Systemics Journal","volume":"349 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126684881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case study of Rangi, a perpetrator of family violence, who is a hypothetical composite of people the author has worked with over the years, demonstrates how cybernetic principles can be used to understand the nature of human violence on an individual level and inform ways of working with clients aiming to reduce the frequency and severity of violence in their lives and the people around them. The focus then shifts to structural violence imposed on the parts of the system by the whole. First, this is examined at a societal level, then returning to the case study of Rangi, there is an exploration of structural violence within the criminal justice system revealing paradoxes to be confronted in working with violent clients.;","PeriodicalId":315357,"journal":{"name":"The Open Cybernetics & Systemics Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128323394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
