Family Violence Excerpt Analysis

For the reasons stated below, and based upon my independent investigation and the best interests of the children, I recommend the following to the court:

There are many theories out there that try to explain why domestic violence happens. Some like family violence theory say that it is passed down through the family because basically what you see is what you will do. Others say it’s a chemical imbalance or its based on other things. I believe that it is a little bit of all of the theories but the Culture of Violence Theory is playing a huge role today in helping shape our young children’s minds as to what is now acceptable. During this assignment we will look at four different types of examples of how the Culture of Violence Theory is doing just that.

While researching what effective programs for children, youth, and families look like I came across several interesting concepts. Many of the program's main goal was to empower their participants and make sure that they came out of the program with more knowledge. There were also programs that wanted to teach their participants about safety as well as how to improve their attitudes. There seems to be such a variety in programs but from what I could tell each program really wanted to improve the lives of children and families. All the programs that I looked at had a goal of providing people with helpful information that could further improve their lives.

This article was written about the child custody and family violence. Multiple guidelines have been set forth by the American Psychological Association (APA) for those conducting forensic evaluations pertinent to child custody cases (Geffner, Conradi, Geis, & Aranda, 2009). There has been a lack of assessing possible family violence within the family when it comes to family custody issues. In a sense that if family violence has occurred then that is not looked at when it comes to deciding how custody was going to be handled between the parents.

A police officer pulls over a vehicle that is going 8 mph over the speed limit. When the officer arrives at the drivers window, the man driving tells the officer that his pregnant wife (who is in the passengers seat) is in labor and that they are on their way to the hospital. The officer quickly allows them to go with a warning. In this scenario, the officer used his discretion for a relatively minor violation.

In this article domestic violence and gun rights are the main topics, especially in Louisiana. This article tells the story of a domestic violence situation, when a man named Dennis barged into a home killing a woman named Donna and then his son. Then moving on to find his daughter-in-law who would jump out of the second story window in order to escape the killer; however, Dennis would make his way down stairs firing off rounds that would strike the two year old four times killing him as the two fled. As the article continues it explains that Louisiana has one of the higher rates of domestic violence crimes committed in the United States, along with how Louisiana is planning to help the victims and decrease the crime rate involving domestic

In chapter three, Same-Sex Intimate-Partner Violence–Lifting the Veil of Denial, the author Anne Sullivan and Kristen Kuehnle are trying to demonstrate that intimate-partner violence in same-sex relationships is a serious social problem, “while simultaneously dispelling the myths surrounding its occurrence.” The article begins by defining domestic violence. The authors then examine the history of the recognition of wife abuse. Before the 1970’s wife abuse was not seen as a social problem. In many cases it was seen as acceptable. Much as spousal abuse was ignored prior to the 1970’s, same-sex partner violence is being ignored today. According to the studies examined by the authors, same sex partner violence tend to happen at the same rate as heterosexual intimate partner abuse. The problem lies that many of the

First of all, many elderly persons are abandoned in home for the aged because of their health condition and they cannot sustain the need of the victim. Sometimes the dominant approach to elder mistreatment in the research literature has been apply to the family violence model. This has tended to underplay concern in residential centers( nursing home). As deficient on the requirement that patients rights, policies and procedures ensure that each patient admitted to the facility us free from mental and physical abuse and free from chemical and physical restraints except as authorized by the physician.

Finally, domestic violence is a large social problem that is being dealt with daily, but it needs to be brought to light because a lot more needs to be done to put a complete stop to it. It will continue to ruin our society by allowing those with power to take over the less fortunate.

The question of why men or women abuse and why men and women are reluctant to end abusive relationships may seem abstract, but theories have important implications how to understand the problem (Sampson, 2006).

One of the greatest challenges for both law enforcement and social welfare agencies is trying to understand the complexities of family and interpersonal violence. The issue becomes even more challenging in settings where poverty prevails, since it is often the case that agencies try extra vigilantly to address significant criminality in these areas. Anytown's departmental intervention policy on removing children from a home where there are active incidents of abuse is an effort to essentially impose a "zero tolerance" framework that seeks a single answer to these concerns. It is a policy based on social learning theory that assumes that one can easily remove children from parents or guardians who are modeling inappropriate behavior and then force those adults to learn better alternatives. In exchange for doing this, the welfare agencies then agree to return the children to the home setting, which is presumably less likely to be an environment where poor modeling happens.

In Journal of Family Violence article “Attitudes toward Domestic Violence in Korean and Vietnamese Immigrant Communities, authors Kim-Goh and Baello examine how factors such as acculturation and education affect views of certain Asian Americans on domestic violence. The study was conducted in southern California on around 400 Koreans and Vietnamese total, using the Revised Attitudes toward Wife Abuse Scale. According to the authors, the issue of domestic violence in Asian American communities has historically been ignored since these communities have been stereotyped as “emotionally healthy and financially successful” (Mikyong and Baello 647). However, this stereotype fails to consider that both countries have “traditionally patriarchal societies

Many of the families in my community do not have the appropriate resources and motivation to overcome their obstacles. The most comment challenges and barriers with family exposed to are religion, culture, unemployment and scare to leave the partner. I am able to relate to those challenges. I was raised catholic but haven’t practiced the religion is years. I home felt conflicted with the religion for a long time.
