A few years ago a child, young, too young to differ good things from bad ones, saw everything as perfect in his small brown eyes. His life perfect, his parents perfect, his room, perfect. But everything was not perfect in his life. Being the small child he was he knew not of the danger of his father, the aggression, abuse, and all around hatred to everything...and everyone. And to the father the prime subject to all of his imperfections was his wife. Now, the wife knew the dangers of the father, she met them firsthand, and tried to ignore all of the pain that the father would inflict, all to keep the son happy. But year by year, as the child began to grow, his vision in which he saw everything as perfect began to wear away. He now saw the dangers of a lot of things such as, knifes, threats...and his father. Some would say the child's sight improved over the years because he know saw …show more content…
Domestic violence is displayed in many ways but spousal abuse is the most common exhibition and unfortunately between people in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence is not just simply physical, but consists of any behavior that is intended to control the other person through the use of verbal assaults as well.

Domestic violence has occurred between John and Linda. Domestic violence is defined as “any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse” I would advise Linda to rely on The Family Homes and Domestic (Northern Ireland) Order 1998, to seek a non-molestation order (NMO) and Occupation Order against John simultaneously. Linda has the option to use the criminal law, but as Linda would like to maintain a relationship with john and stop the violence, the civil law would be more applicable, as it is designed to respond to the needs of the victim .
There are many different types of domestic violence. Physical abuse is the most obvious form, but this is not to say that outsiders always recognize it. Generally, physical violence causes bodily harm, using a variety of methods. Slapping, pushing, throwing, hitting, punching, and strangling are only a few methods. An object or weapon may or may not be used. There is not always physical evidence of physical abuse such as bruising, bleeding, scratches, bumps, etc., therefore, absence of physical marks does not necessarily mean physical abuse had not occurred. Physical abuse sometimes escalates to murder (Morris and Biehl 7, Haley 14-17).

After collecting and analyzing all the data during the duration of the experiment, the authors’ found that the best way to handle a domestic violence dispute, was to make an arrest. The arrestee then would be charged with battery touch or strike.

Which goes to show that this experiment paved the way and showed the critical importance of state government authorizing police to make probable cause arrests in cases of domestic violence disputes. With that impact, many changes to policies erected allowing it to be possible
In their evaluation of domestic violence studies and legislation, Alhabib, Nur & Jones (2010) & Ortiz-Barreda & Vives-Cases (2013), discuss the span of domestic violence across all races and socioeconomic statuses. Although domestic violence does not discriminate, it is more likely to be experienced by young women and minorities (Modi et al., 2014 & Peters et al., 2002). Native Americans, for example, are twice as likely to be victims of abuse as other races (Modi et al., 2014). Many victims of abuse try to find justification for the actions of their abusers (Alhabib et al., 2010).
