Intimidate Partner Violence

Approximately 1.3 million women each year are victims of physical assault by a partner in the United States, with larger numbers of such incidents not being reported (Herman, Rotunda, Williamson, & Vodanovich, 2014, p. 2). Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as sexual, physical, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse, which can include sexual violence, psychological and emotional violence, or physical violence (Herman et al., 2014, p. 2). IPV is also known as dating violence, domestic violence, family violence, or spouse abuse.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (n.d.) defines intimate partner violence (IPV) as a “serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d., p. 1). Through the group discussions we have had in class I have learned that IPV is not a “one fit all” approach, the violence occurs in different levels of severity and frequency. There are four

In order to understand the intricacies within relationships, a comprehensive definition of intimate partner violence must first be recognized since recent research has found to produce incongruent determinations of such. Intimate partner violence, also known as domestic violence, is the physical, emotional, sexual, and psychological abuse of a current or former intimate partner. An intimate partner is one with whom there has been a relationship, current or former, including spouses, cohabitating couples, dating relationships, family members, and same-sex couples. It was only recently that acts of violence against an intimate partner were criminalized and remedies sought by victims through court approved action (Carlson, B. E., & Worden, A.

The counselor should first assess the needs of the client before creating an intimate partner Violence (IPV) prevention plan.The counselor should include in the prevention plan for suicidal and homicidal information for the client. According to Jackson-Cherry and Erford (2014) "Just as crisis counselors asses for suicidal and homicidal ideation with every client, they should ask all clients directly about IPV." (Pg.169). Therefore, by the counselor assessing for suicidal and homicidal thoughts, the counselor should include hotline and resources available for the client and include the information in the prevention plan. Also, the counselor should include accurate and appropriated resources for the clients needs. The

McColgan et al, 2010 defines the Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) as the specific act of violence

It is probable that no single theory or factor can fully explain the phenomenon of IPV. It is ineffective to attempt to demonstrate that one theory or model is correct, whereas others are wrong when there are factors at many levels that play a causal role in partner violence (Carlson, 1984). It is apparent that every perspective contributes to the explanation of violence in relationships. However, the perspectives discussed have a myriad of research to support their claims and it is evident that both provide an important insight into the issue of partner violence. Not only this but they are successful in their approach to explain violence and offer comprehensive treatments to tackle chronic aggression. Thus these particular approaches seem to amongst the most successful and comprehensive understandings of violence in the literature today.

This literature review will cover articles, books, and literature primarily from 1979 to the present. There has been little research on DV in adult education and Literacy Programs conducted prior to the mid 1980’s, although occasionally an earlier article will be included to provide a historical perspective. The articles utilized were found on Education Research Institute of Education Sciences (ERIC digest), Criminal Justice Specify, FBI, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV),and data bases using keywords “domestic violence”, “domestic violence in adult education” and “intimate partner violence”. These terms are used interchangeably in the review paper. Additional statistics were obtained from FBI, and statistical abstracts

“I object to violence, because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent”, quoted by Mahatma Gandhi. Violence is defined as an unjust or unwarranted exertion of power or force to intentionally injure, damage, or destroy something or someone. Amongst the various types of violence, there is one in particular that has been causing an ongoing debate within societies across the world; this certain type of violence is known as domestic violence. Domestic violence, also known as intimate violence or family violence, is a pattern of violent behaviors that are being used by an individual in a relationship to control his or her partner.() This act of abuse can come in many different forms, such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or psychological abuse, and can affect not only the victim, but anyone that he or she may come in contact with.

For centuries there has been the desire to cease domestic violence and all the horror it brings, but for centuries, no one has been capable of conceiving the perfect solution to end this madness, or have they? Did you know that women are more likely to be battered, molested, or even killed by a current or past male partner than by anyone else? A lot of people have come to realize this and in an attempt to fight intimate partner violence in the past two decades, many states have started and still are necessitating mandatory arrests of those who commit this heinous crime. This process was first brought into the light in 1994, when the grand state of New York passed the Family Protection and Domestic Violence Intervention Act, which calls for police departments to acknowledge and treat domestic violence as the serious illegality that it is. Before this was brought in the light, it was a mere idea still forming, the support and major strive for these laws began as early as 1984, after a federal district court in Connecticut decided that the police had unintentionally guarded a woman whose husband was ruthlessly abusing her. For mandatory arrest to be executed, the victim and their alleged abuser must be considered "individuals from a mutual family or household." Which means that they either were/are married, have a child together, are related by blood to, are/were in a steady relationship. Due to this law, now police in New York have no choice but to make an arrest if felony

Today, media can play a vital role in relationships. Some people choose to be very attentive communicators, whereas some choose to become cyberbullies. They may seem similar, but their motives are very different. One example of being digitally abusive would be controlling your significant other by threatening to "expose" them by leaking intimate photos of them for any reason. An attentive communicator would try to help calm someone down who is having suicidal thoughts in an online chatroom, for instance. Awareness of relationship violence in todays digital world is key to understanding the difference from healthy and unhealthy relationships. I think that talking to my cousins, who are 13 and 15, about this issue I can help to prevent it from

When we think about intimate violence, people perceive it is easy to just walk away. Their misconception leads to victims feeling more helpless than before. We ignore that IPV can happen to both men and women. The way the society is and has been for centuries, they see that women are more prevalent to abuse than men. When it comes to cultural perspective and religious belief, women in certain countries experience high IPV because of the idealization that husbands have more power and authority than the wives. The most heartbreaking is how IPV can destroy the victim momentum to life and hope. The impact it has on the children involved and the parent to live in fear of the worst-case scenario. In my opinion, is upsetting how an individual can

Historically, domestic violence has been viewed as a private issue to be dealt with between partners. It wasn’t until the 1970s that intimate partner violence (IPV), also known as domestic violence, became recognized as both a social and legal problem. Policy and lawmakers have been avidly defining the roles of the criminal justice system and communities in responding to domestic violence since its official acknowledgements as a public issue.
