Domestic Abuse Case Study

If any of these player safety rules have been broken recently, the NFL has come down swiftly and harshly against the culprits. These swift and efficient actions performed by the NFL have taken notice by the parents and fans of the sport. These forms of punishments come through fines, suspensions, and in extreme cases bans from the league for years or even indefinitely. Recently a defensive coordinator on the New Orleans Saints was found to have installed a “bounty program” on his defense. This program would fund the defensive players with bonuses for various actions in a game. Although this may seem okay, it is actually highly illegal in the NFL. This bounty program would fund the players for knocking out other athletes they were competing against. Injuring players was one of many forms of bonuses that players would be able to accrue. The problem with this in sports is because football is already violent enough. Now teams are actually “gunning” to injure others on purpose. The NFL’s quick and extreme punishments for the creation and participation in this bounty case definitely put the player’s safety aspect into the mainstream of what the NFL is worrying about these days.

Young people need to be educated on the warning signs of abusive or unhealthy relationships so they are able to recognize and avoid them.

Deputy’s Assingment: I was dispatched to 13110 Southfork Road for a domestic complaint. I arrived and spoke to Barbara Husman who said her 16 year old son Tyler Husman had assaulted her. Barbara was arguing with Tyler and her 17 year old daughter Kali Husman was also at the home.

When deciding whether to arrest a domestic abuser the police should consider the financial impact of the arrest on the abuser’s family. The reason being because, according to Harmening, “In many cases, if not most cases, the family will remain intact throughout and following the judicial proceedings” (p. 135). Meaning that the abused does not leave the abuser even when police has intervened, and when the judicial proceedings are done, the abuser returns to live with his family. Therefore, the strain that the cost of court fees, attorneys and/or bail would put on their financial situation would add more stress to the family. Then, that stress acts as fuel to the abuser’s anger and frustration. Resulting in the abuser to even become more vicious

Personally I do not think the NFL policy is working. There have been many cases of domestic violence involving NFL players in the last 3 years. Ray Rice was initially suspended 4 games for knocking out his now wife in an elevator. After a the video of Rice hitting the women went viral, the NFL then changed the original suspension from 4 games to indefinite. The behavior of the players on or off the field has no impact on wether the follow the NFL or not; but those who have children interested in the sport may think different. The behavior of the NFL employees as a whole definitely has an influence on the sponsors who associate themselves with the

Domestic violence has become a hot topic lately in articles, newspapers and even discussions on popular News channels. The controversial topic’s importance was ultimately ignited by the video released by TMZ of Ray Rice, the Ravens star running back, striking his then fiancé, Janay Palmer, knocking her unconscious in a casino elevator. Rice proceeds to drag Palmer’s body carelessly out of the elevator and leaves her lying on the floor, still unconscious. The releases of the videos showing what happened inside and outside of the elevator were at the heart of the controversy and outrage of the public. This situation has opened up the conversation for other similar situations and how they are handled by the NFL and viewed by the public. It raised the question if one’s celebrity status minimizes the consequences of offenses as horrible as domestic violence? This domestic violence scandal involving Ray Rice and Janay Palmer has created a nation-wide discussion concerning the consequences for domestic violence in the NFL and the public’s overall attitude towards the handling of the Rice scandal in particular.

“...Wilkinson Arrested for Domestic Dispute”, “...domestic violence features Dan “Big Daddy Wilkinson””, etc. These were the headlines that swarmed news sources in late 1995. Cincinnati Bengals defensive linemen, weighing in at an optimum 315 pounds, struck his girlfriend in the stomach. What would have been a typical domestic violence blow, except young Shawnda Lamarr was pregnant. His plead? Not guilty, and was simply instructed to obey a restraining order. “A 3 year study shows that while male student-athletes comprise 3.3% of the populations, they represent 19% of sexual assault perpetrators and 35% of domestic violence perpetrators” (NCAVA Benedict/Crosset Study). This statistic, along with many other stunning statements upset many involved in the college sports world. One of

As I listen to my neighbors argue almost nightly I can hear the intense fighting and verbal threats among the adults. I think of their children and what they must feel or what their going through. According to one scholarly source, children that were raised in an abusive home may developed anxiety, depression and dissociation among others into adulthood(Goldsmith and Freyd 96). What is interesting is that they may recognize these symptoms as adults but do not relate it to the past abuse (Goldsmith and Freyd 96).An explanation for the lack of connection to the now present symptoms is that there is; 1. No awareness of the former abuse. 2.The failure of defining mistreatment

Now, no one is saying that sports players should obtain any form of immunity legally for their respective action, but rather when the gavel is dropped, it shouldn’t be by the sports organization(s) but the legal body of a government. Moreover, domestic violence and crimes is a widespread problem in the football athletic community due to the qualities of the job, according to The Washington Post, “with the attendant stresses and problems of that population, compounded by high pain levels and little job security, alternating with elements of wealth and entitlement.” This adds to the fact that human minds have psychological cap and at one point will overfill and implode, causing short burst of anger in uncontrolled events. Adding another layer of punishment may lower the amount of violence and crimes committed by the athletic community as they will have in total more reprimanding. However to do this you would have to generalize all the football players as one yet there is a huge diversity in the arresting rates per team, according to the The Washington Post, “The Minnesota Vikings, for instance, have had four times as many arrests as the St. Louis Rams since

There are few studies some of which are conflicting studies that examine if prosecution of domestic violence offenders deters future abuse, though, some studies suggest that interventions have no substantiating influence on the odds of reoffending (Broidy, Albright, Denman, 2015). In three U. S. states a study found offenders who were prosecuted and convicted were more likely to be rearrested than offenders who were not convicted whereas other studies found prosecution can reduce following arrest and violence (Gosselin, 2014). According to Gosselin (2014), prosecuting offenders without acknowledgment of the specific risk factors does not deter further criminal abuse, unlike arresting intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders. However, some
