The survey conducted asked questions using a likehart scale with sub-surveys assessing the attitudes and behaviors of bystanders witnessing sexual and intimate partner violence (IPV). The authors report the results left many questions. For example, future research may want to include questions of the participant’s own attitude or perception on bystander participation. It is suggested further education is needed and discussion needs to take place to identify the understanding of IPV so a bystander will have the knowledge to assess the situation, identify the best way to intervene and to take safe action. This article is helpful to our group to confirm the argument education, awareness and prevention of IPV is still needed in colleges and universities.

To be part of the study participants needed to be heterosexual, and in a relationship that was sexually, physically and/or psychologically abusive. The women were asked to provide information to open ended questions related to their decision to leave the relationship or stay. The narrative prompt survey asked questions inquiring why each participant chose to stay in the abusive relationship or why you decided to leave the relationship. The findings of the study implicated that there was a widespread minimization and lack of understanding about abuse. The authors suggest that there is a need for dating violence education beginning early in life. The importance of the college mental health providers providing information regarding the risks of staying in an abusive relationship is also recommended. The findings of further study of a more diverse larger population would make the results more generalizable. Further study would promote increased understanding of the reasons for staying or leaving in this type of relationship. This article helpful to our group to confirm the argument that education, awareness and prevention of IPV is still needed in colleges and
Approximately 1.3 million women each year are victims of physical assault by a partner in the United States, with larger numbers of such incidents not being reported (Herman, Rotunda, Williamson, & Vodanovich, 2014, p. 2). Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as sexual, physical, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse, which can include sexual violence, psychological and emotional violence, or physical violence (Herman et al., 2014, p. 2). IPV is also known as dating violence, domestic violence, family violence, or spouse abuse.
The Rise in Mental Health in the United States: Comprehending the Past and Moving Forward, Especially in Youth
IntroductionIn recent history, dating violence has become a paramount issue in American society. With the rates of domestic violence on the rise, much research has been conducted that provides evidence that violence during dating relationships in the teen years is a strong contributing factor to later domestic violence. Current research is revealing that a far larger percentage of teens are suffering from some amount of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse in their dating relationships. Studies have shown that both those who engage in the violent behaviors, as well as those who are the victims of these acts are more likely to be involved in violent relationships in the future. The significant number of individuals involved in these

The Bystander Program focuses on a wider audience and is aimed at changing community norms regarding sexual assault. Meaning instead of primarily focusing on woman as being the primary victims of sexual assaults and men as the perpetrators, bystander programs approach both as bystanders of sexual assault (Banyard, Moynihan, & Plante, 2007; Baynard et al., 2004; Hines & Palm Reed, 2011). These types of programs have been known to change the attitudes towards sexual assaults, the willingness to help, empathy for victims and

Harknett and McLanahan (2004) assess the racial disparities in marriage and family formation among diverse ethnic groups to explain the differences in child rearing practices. Their study utilizes data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study composed of 3,700 children whose parents were unmarried at the time of their births as well as the 2000 U.S. Census. Initial interviews were conducted with the mothers after child’s birth and follow up surveys took place during their child’s 30 month follow up. The authors found that race, ethnicity, age,
To begin with, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has been around for a very long time and it is still a present issue in the United States. There are many forms intimate partner violence such as, sexual, physical, emotional, and psychological. IPV occurs among all religious, socioeconomic, and cultural groups in the United States and other countries. As many people know intimate partner violence tends to come with consequences after the damage is done to the victim. Intimate partner violence does not just happen out of nowhere where the perpetrator thinks they have the right to be violent towards their spouse. The issue of IPV is connected to the cycle of violence in ways that it gives you an idea as to why the perpetrator thinks they have the right to hit the victim. In many cases not only do they think they have the right to due such thing but also feel like they have control over their spouse and have a mindset that they own them and will do anything just to keep them. Often the perpetrators feel guilty for being violent towards their loved ones that they come to a point of being apologetic and doing anything in their power to keep them. This author believes that intimate partner violence is a big issue and for many victims it is hard for them to escape the relationship. The victims go through so much in staying in the relationship that once they decide to definitely leave the relationship they end up suffering consequences and seeking available resources to
In a natural survey conducted in England, women reported higher rates of intimate partner violence than men, whether the violence was physical or emotional (Jonas et al., 2014). Intimate partner violence among college students appears to be similar to research on adult married and cohabiting couples. A five-year longitudinal study of more than 2,000 college students in the United States showed that twenty-six percent of college students experienced physical intimate partner violence in their freshman year (Nabors & Jasinski, 2009). As a college student and friend of many, I believe that it is important for me become more knowledgeable about intimate partner violence and know about the characteristics of an abuser. There are four types or characteristics
Sexual abuse or assault is a serious social and public health issue in the United States of America today. This includes 188,380 reports on rape and/or sexual assault in States (National Crime Victimization, 2010). Mostly, women are the victims of sexual assault and rape while men are the criminals or the offenders. National surveys in the United States estimate that on average twenty people per minute are victims of physical violence by an intimate partner (CDC, 2014). Also, it has been proven that one in six women have experienced an attempted or completed rape at some time (Clinton-Sherrod, 2005). The largest percentages of women that have been sexually assaulted have been attacked by men with whom they are related or have an intimate relationship.

Intimate Partner Violence is a serious public health problem in the United States. On average, 24 people every minute, and 3 in 10 women and 1 in 10 men are victim to some form of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner (CDC). Victims of IPV may suffer from a variety of different physical and psychological symptoms. They may suffer physical injuries, some minor, like cuts, scratches and bruises, and some more serious, that can lead to disability or death. They may also suffer from emotional harm, leading to depression, anxiety or PTSD. Victims of IPV may also try and cope with their trauma in unhealthy ways, such as participating in risky sex or substance abuse (CDC). In order to help address this crises,
The CDC reports that nearly half of all men and women in the United States have been psychologically abused by a romantic partner, while around a quarter of women and 1 in 7 men have been physically abused [2]. This is a dramatic difference from areas like the United Kingdom, where 8.2% of women and 4% of men have been abused [3] One in three people experience abuse by a romantic partner by the age of eighteen [4]. In 2015, 87% of hospitalized abuse victims in New York state were women, and were admitted more often than male victims [5]. This can likely be partially attributed to traditional gender roles, which assume that men are “stronger” than women and are “weak” if they are hurt by a woman.
