A Brief Note On Systemic Obstacles And The Criminal Prosecution Of A Battering Partner

In this article participants were given written and verbal information about the study and confidentiality, anonymity and withdrawal were reassured. All participants were fully informed and consented. Moreover, as the participant for this design is to permit the participants to ‘open up’ and discuss their experiences. It is crucial that any given time the participant should be permitted to discontinue with the interview if they feel uncomfortable. This is called as process consent, whereby the interview continuously negotiates with the interviewee to determine whether they are comfortable in continuing with the interview, (Polit and Beck, 2006). There are many ethical aspects to consider, the above is just one fraction used as an example, by simply suggesting that ethical guidelines were adhered to, does not illustrate ethical consideration. They did not show how to make the participant safe if they were difficult to manage.

The above costs could only be an estimate as not many domestic abuse cases are reported. Injuries from domestic violence could simply be recorded as accidents at home or slips & trips. Health care facilities being the first people to face the abuse victims, need to be experienced to recognise the signs of abuse and be confident in dealing with these issues. Proper training needs to be in place for this. Therefore

Out of the shadows and into the limelight, the once hidden crime of domestic violence has recently emerged within the Australian community as a widespread criminal issue. This abuse of power occurs in a relationship when one partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate and control the other. Inflicting physical harm upon another human being is undoubtedly a breach of the criminal law, yet the Australian legal system takes little measures to protect the wider community from this type of violence. According to Family Lawyer Richard Ingleby, domestic violence has often been condoned by the legal system due to the fact that assaults occur in the ‘private’ realm of the home where legal measures are regarded as inappropriate, and interventionist. However, by overlooking domestic violence as a criminal offence, does the Australian legal system fail to adequately protect the family unit from this form of violence? Recent studies from the Australian Bureau of Statics have revealed that 23% of women who have ever been married or engaged in a de facto relationship have experienced violence by a partner at some time during the relationship. Due to the secrecy that once surrounded this kind of abuse, victims often feel unable to speak out and seek help, therefore even large surveys cannot provide accurate estimates of the extend of domestic violence within the Australia community (Domestic Violence and Incest Resource Centre, 1998). Despite the high incidence rate of

The article of, ‘Similar Punishment, Comparing Sentencing Outcomes in Domestic and Non-Domestic Violence Cases’ (hereby referred to as “article 1”) written by Christine E. W .Bond and Samantha Jefferies used NSW administrative court data from January 2009 and June 2012 to report multivariate analyses of the sentencing of domestic and non-domestic violence offences. The research conducted consisted of independent variables, offender social characteristics, legal and case characteristics and dependent variables, to highlight the difference in sentencing. The study used case level data for a population of cases to assess the apparent sentencing differentially. (Bond & Jefferies 2014, p )

The battered woman defense is a defense that is used in court to defend assault/murder charges where the defendant is abused and commits a offence under duress or necessity. It is mainly used by women and also referred to as the battered woman syndrome/battered wife syndrome.

The purpose of this quasi-experimental pilot project is to determine if providing training for mental health nurses on assessing assault risk in geriatric psychiatric patients will help improve the nurse’s knowledge and assessment of assault risk for this population during their inpatient stay. According to the World Health Organization, “between 8% and 38% of health workers suffer physical violence at some point in their careers”. Violence against health care workers has been extensively studied and research indicates that some areas are more prone to violence towards the staff than other areas of the hospital. The areas that are known for high incidence of assault are emergency rooms and inpatient psychiatric units. It also has the highest

With approximately 1.3 million women being victimized by an intimate partner each year and one in every four women experiencing domestic violence at some point in her life-time, domestic violence, also referred to as intimate partner violence Even after decades of increased activism and raised awareness by government agencies, the public and many nonprofit organizations, domestic violence still remains a serious problem within the United States.

When it comes to describing domestic violence all that comes to mind is a woman or man being physically abused or being mistreated and humiliated by another person. You may think that since domestic violence is a serious concern the criminal justice system has taken actions to stop or prevent it. In reality the system is failing these women and some are getting seriously hurt or even killed. Domestic violence was not that popular before the Tracy Thurman case. Ever since the case was shown to the public domestic violence awareness increased. It captured the attention of the public through the media.

After watching the video, I believe that the shooting was unjustified in a sense because the cop could have used his knowledge to defend himself in a different way. I do not believe that in the police academy, they say to shoot a person right away after being assaulted. It was obvious that the man was drunk and had no gun, so he decided to go grab another weapon instead to injure the officer. From my perspective, it looks like the cop was very scared and caught off guard to where he decided to use the gun he had in his hand without acting appropriately and fast. The cop had grabbed the gun from his pocket immediately as the drunk man ran away and seemed ready to use the gun. To me, this cop looked like an amateur and not equipped to think accordingly during this incident.

In order to recognize the outcomes of domestic violence, it is key to know precisely what domestic violence is. Domestic violence is anything that involves physical damage, sexual assault, or distress of physical damage. In order to aid individuals who are going through domestic violence, it is fundamental to have a healthier understanding of what triggers domestic violence and how it affects the mistreated, abuser, and children of the mistreated.

Conducting a study using humans as participants raises a variety of ethical concerns. This is why it is necessary to inform the participants of the purpose of the interview or focus group and what it plans to accomplish. Also, the privacy of each participant must be respected when publishing or distributing all research findings. If these requirements are not met, the study being conducted will in turn become unethical.
