Domestic violence affects a large amount of relationships in the United States each year. As the times have changed, abuse has become less accepted as a normal occurrence, and society has begun working together to provide awareness towards violence in intimate partner relationships. “Problems of family violence are potentially the most destructive in our society” (Kurland 23). Domestic violence is a problem that begins in the home, and spreads to affect the world around it. Violence is present in relationships of all demographics, be it race, sexual orientation, or social class. No one is entirely safe from experiencing abuse, but if society is taught to recognize the signs it can save a life or even prevent abuse from happening.

Domestic violence in recent years has become a national issue of epidemic proportions (Whiting, 2014). The current Australian Government campaign against domestic violence clearly states that domestic violence is a crime (Douglas, 2008). However, a debate continues over the value of applying criminal law in this field. This article investigates the current operation of family law in Queensland in the domestic violence sphere and explores the advantages and disadvantages of applying criminal law to this area. Areas of investigation include, the effectiveness of current law, current issues relating to domestic violence, relevant stakeholders and perspectives and alternatives and recommendations relating to the current situation.

In the United States today, 85% of domestic violence victims are women, and only 15% are men. Domestic violence can be anything that involves physical harm, sexual assault, or fear of physical harm. (“What is Domestic Violence?”) Domestic violence dramatically affects more women than men. Roughly about “38,028,000 women have experienced physical intimate partner violence in their lifetimes” (Huffington post). Domestic violence is an extensive complication in American society. In the United States alone there are multiple states with a high ranking rate when it comes to domestic violence. Ranked #1-10 with females being murdered by males, in 2011, with South Carolina as #1. Domestic violence is caused by many different situations and complications

When you are arrested for a crime, you have certain rights and one of those rights is to speak to a lawyer before you answer any questions from the police. Whether you have been accused of a minor traffic violation or a capital offense, you are entitled to these rights. As soon as you are arrested, advise the arresting officer that you would like to speak with your attorney and give Ms. Feiger's office a call.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics half of the female victims of domestic violence experience more than one incident of abuse (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013). In Queensland using spousal abuse as a defence to murder can be problematic for female defendants who kill their abusers. Jurors in most cases relating to spousal abuse tend to find the act of pre-emptive killing in self-defence not justifiable. Queensland’s Criminal Code should be amended to allow the ‘Abusive Domestic Relationship Defence’ to be used as a full defence. This can be proven as victims of violence tend to lack the ability to make logical decisions; individuals feel a case of entrapment and the victim signals violence and acts before the onset of abuse.

Domestic violence as well as emotional abuse are behaviors used by one person in a relationship as a means of control over the other person. The status of the relationship between those in a domestic violence situation varies. They can be married or unmarried; heterosexual, gay, or lesbian; living together, separated or just dating. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. That is an estimated 1.3 million women becoming a victim of physical assault at the hands of an intimate partner each year. Although a vast majority at eighty-five percent of victims being women anyone can fall into the role of being battered regardless of age, sex, race, culture,

In addition to poverty, chaotic homes also correlated with behavior problems in children. Chaotic homes involve domestic violence, divorce, and substance abuse. Studies showed that three to four million children who are between the ages of three and seventeen are at risk of witnessing domestic violence each year (Domestic Violence Roundtable, 2008). Research has also shown that 80 to 90 percent of children who came from domestic violence families knew that there was violence taking place in the home (Pagelow, 1990). Children who witness and are exposed to domestic violence in their homes experience emotional, mental, and social harm that can affect development and behavior. Children who witness frequent domestic violence showed heightened levels

There are laws that punish those that domestic violence against another person by causing emotional or physical harm to other with whom they share a family or other close relationship. “The domestic violence laws also deal with the civil protections that are available to victims of this type of crime (Brinkman 2004)”. Federal legislation decided that domestic violence should be a crime, which is called the Violence Against Women Act. Most of the time domestic violence offenses are prosecuted under the state laws. “In all states, when a person is convicted of domestic violence, it is a requirement that the defendant’s conduct and relationship to the victim meet certain standards. In each state statutory provision describing these aspects may

CM Gilmore conducted a phone interview with Becky Croft regarding the family of Tiffany Croutharmel. CM Gilmore explained the reason for the visit. Becky reported the following information:

Ms. Miner made all decisions, with respect to Plaintiff’s leasing agreement, for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons. Plaintiff has been a problematic tenant throughout her tenancy with Ms. Miner. Several noise complaints and property damage have been the underlining force in denying Plaintiff’s lease renewal, not her status as a domestic violence victim. In fact, Ms. Miner sympathizes with the Plaintiff because of her own personal experience with her sister, a victim of domestic violence herself. With that in mind, Ms. Miner went as far as to offer her support to Plaintiff by providing referrals for a counselor, specializing in domestic cases.

The Effects of Domestic Violence Allegations On Custody Evaluators’ Recommendations, is an article written by Jason Hans, Jennifer Hardesty, and Megan Haselschwerdt. The topic being studied is how domestic violence in a relationship effects the decision of custody evaluators deciding who should be awarded child custody in a separated relationship. Through previous research, it was discovered that after separation not only does violence usually continue, but also children are at an elevated risk of exposure to the violence and are at greater risk of direct child abuse. The experiment begins with explaining the different types of domestic violence; in this experiment they focused on control-based, conflict-based and mutual domestic violence.

When one hears the term domestic violence, one often associates the term with the hitting, screaming, and exchanging of insults that sometimes erupts between a man and a woman who are involved in an intimate relationship with each other. While this type of violence is considered “common,” it is totally unacceptable and abnormal. I am familiar with this type of domestic violence because I grew up around it. I have even survived an abusive relationship with someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was surprised at my emotional and spiritual weakness because as a child I had vowed to never stay with a man who had no reservations about putting his hands on me. Sometimes,
