Historically, lower-income black women have experienced intimate partner violence at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States. Very little of the research on intimate partner violence addresses the cultural and structural factors that influence black women’s experience of domestic violence (Taft et al. 2008). The most recent statistical survey of intimate partner violence in the United States was the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey conducted in 2011; previously, the most recent was the National Violence against Women Survey conducted during 1995-1996 (Breiding et al., 2014). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) offers four categories of intimate partner violence: sexual violence, physical violence, stalking, and psychological aggression (Breiding et al., 2014). Although domestic violence occurs among all races and ethnicities and socio-economic classes, it is particularly important to explore black women’s differential experience of intimate partner violence because black women are experiencing a disparity.

Domestic violence, also more known as Intimate Partner Violence, affects individuals in all social classes and racial/ethnic groups is a statement that has been said and taught over again for many years. Yes that statement above holds logic and truth, but there is also an inverse relationship to it. One of the most consistent findings from research is a strong inverse relationship between social class and intimate partner violence (Renzetti, 2009). In other words, as social class status goes up, cases of domestic violence goes down, and vice versa for lower social classes. Analyses of large, national surveys, for example, show that women living in households with the lowest annual incomes were five times more likely to have experienced

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans and is described as a type of harm caused by a current or former partner or spouse and may consists of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse; it does not discriminate, can occur among heterosexual or same-sex couples, and does not require sexual intimacy. The CDC administered a survey in 2010 called the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) to examine the frequency of intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), and stalking among women and men in the United States (administered annually to track

Consequently, the exposure of pornography can influence intimate partner sexual violence and forced sexual relations, especially among the females who are exceptionally vulnerable. In recent years, the focus on intimate partner sexual violence has been on the rise and its operationalization along with its association with negative repercussions. In particular, a study of 87 female victims reported that the presence of pornography is associated with the sadistic rapes from a sample of intimate partner sexual violence. With reports stating that 14% of individuals were forced by partners to watch pornography and attempt to re-enact such behaviors and acts (Moreau et al. 224). Which is directly an effect of sexual scripts provided by pornography.

In the United States, approximately 1.5 million women report some form of intimate partner violence (IPV) each year and of those an estimated 324,000 are pregnant (Deshpande & Lewis-O'Connor, 2013). According to Deshpande and Lewis-O’Connor (2013), IPV is defined as abuse that may be actual or threatened by an intimate partner that can be physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional in nature. It is important for health care providers to realize IPV does not only include physical or sexual abuse but also includes name calling, financial control, constant criticism, and isolating women away from their families and friends (Deshpande & Lewis-O'Connor, 2013; Smith, 2008). There are 3 phases of abuse tension building

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a type of abuse that occurs between people who are involved in a close relationship. “Intimate partner” is a term that is used to include both current and former spouses as well as dating partners. IPV exists along a continuum that ranges from a single episode of violence through ongoing battering.

For about a year now I have been a domestic violence victim..I thought maybe it was just a bad day for him or it will go away maybe he just had some anger and that he "won't do it again". Something that I told myself more than once but those words started to be words I told myself almost daily. I thought love concors all but this wasn't love this was abuse.. so one day I made the decision to stand up for myself all alone I felt I was until I made the move. YOU are not alone and YOU have help and loved ones to support you. Yes, it may be hard but don't let one more day of this happen. Please call your local police station or nation wide phone and chat services that are available to anyone who has been affected by relationship abuse, including

The first way to limit violence is through the idea of non-complementary behavior. There is a pattern of human behavior, treating

Since women are viewed as physically weaker then men and gay males are considered sensitive and petty there are perceived as less dominant and therefor more vulnerable to domestic violence. This myth is unfortunately not true as gays and lesbians are just as susceptible to domestic violence as heterosexuals. (Elliott, 1996). The amount of violence within a domestic same-sex relationship that has been reported is about 20% to 45%. Studies disclose that the percentage of occurrence is higher in lesbian relationships rather the gay relationships because lesbian couples are typically more honest about violence. The reason being is that society is not as harsh on women beating women compared to men beating men (Zahm, 1999). The fact that homosexual domestic violence just as much a problem as heterosexual domestic violence shows that the issue is not rooted within the gender but within who has the power. (Elliot,

Before the levels of violence can be explored and compared, a couple of definitions need to be defined. The first of which is "Western States," for the purpose of this paper this shall be those in Western Europe, most notably England, France, and Germany, and also include the United States and Canada in North America. The reason why these States will be used is these there is ample data to be used for comparison purposes. In addition, these nations are mostly recognized as being some of the most developed when it comes to all aspects of society.

I also agree that women were mistreated badly and also most played stayed at home. I find it interesting how over the years how the events played out for women. According to our readings this week it states that "Betty Friedan, the first president of the National Organization for Women, demanded an end to discrimination and called for equality between the sexes" (Barnes & Bowles, 2014, pg. 389). I even wonder if this event helped women since we are still having issues with violence today. Domestic violence and abuse are still silent nightmares; the worse abuse is mental. Nonetheless, as you stated in your discussion women are critical to our society for reproducing. Your overall post was interesting and well organized.

Violence has always been a part of human experience. In a world where there is a competition to supersede others in every respect, violence is a powerful weapon of dominance and subjugation. Every year millions of people are victims of self-inflicted, interpersonal or collective violence which leads to loss of lives or physical injuries and serious psychological effects. Considering the magnitude of the negative physical and psychological effects that violence has on its victims, violence has today come to be regarded as a public health issue or social pathology which if left untreated can take the form of an epidemic and cause wide-scale destruction of public health. With the development of the electronic and satellite media, certain forms of violence like war, terrorism, riots, police violence and civil unrest today are visible to the audience whereas there are other types of violence which are not visible to everybody owing to the perpetrators of violence being invisible and backdrop of violence being home or office or social and even medical institutions which are meant for taking care of the needy, helpless and sick people. Whether visible or invisible, violence in any form is detrimental to public health and a comprehensive understanding of the concept of violence should begin with a definition of the word ‘violence’. Violence as defined by the World Health Organization in the WRVH is, “The intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against
