The team of individuals who will lead this work include Baonam Giang, NMAFC’s Victim Services Coordinator; AnhDao Bui, Social Services Director; Kay Bounkeua, Interim Director, and Sarah Lau, Fiscal Manager.

“The NRCDV’s four key initiatives include Building Comprehensive Solutions to Domestic Violence, the Domestic Violence Awareness Project, the DV Evidence Project, and VAWnet.” Under the Building Comprehensive Solutions Domestic Violence section, it offers a platform that promotes guidance on challenging advocacy issues, for example, child safety supporting victims with ongoing contact with abusive partners.

UCM:CPSW did a home visit and met with Ms. Fait and interdouced myself as the on going worker and why the case is transfered. CPSW talked about referral for in home parenting and domestic violence classes. Ms. Fait stated that she does not need to complete domestic violence without her boyfriend Keith. She stated that he was aggressive toward her during the incident. She stated that she would like him to complete in home parenting as well. CPSW reminded Ms. Fait that the department is worried that Landen could be emotionally impacted or at risk of being injured if the parents continue in their relationship and expose him to domestic violence. During the session, Mr. Keith was not present. Landen was sleeping in the coutch duirng the session.

A misused man will without a doubt be looked at as the abuser by virtue of his appearance.

When we were first introduced to this assignment, I was both excited and nervous. I was excited because it gave me the opportunity to step of my comfort zone. I was also excited to be able to get out into the community and practice some of the social work skills that we have learned in class. I was nervous because I knew it would be hard to hear the struggles of a single-parent experiencing homelessness. As someone who was raised by a single-parent, I also know how easy it can be to fall into homelessness. Overall, I think I was more excited about doing this assignment because I truly did want to hear the stories that single-parents experiencing homelessness wanted to tell.

In New York today, there are many social issues occurring. Racism, discrimination against religions, the LGBTQ community, and more. A major issue we have in this state, that not many people recognize, is domestic violence. Domestic violence is the physical, verbal, sexual, or mental abuse between two people in a relationship. Domestic violence is a relevant social issue occurring in New York, but my community and I have ways to put it to an end. Being a woman, I am more endangered of domestic violence than anyone else, a way that I can help stop domestic violence is saying something when I see something.

The purpose of this study is to see whether or not domestic violence causes a damaging affect on children. The study will included criminal justice students in College and the age range will be between 18 and 23 years old. The method is qualitative and will be an interview.

Another main type of domestic violence is physical abuse. Physical abuse is any act of violence that is intended to hurt or harm a partner (“Psych Central Staff”). The abuser will push, punch, kick, grab, choke, slap, damage property or valued items (“Psych Central Staff”). The perpetrator may try to play it off as joking, but joking or not it is a form of abuse and that is against the law.

In February 2014, Ray Rice, a professional football player for the Baltimore Ravens, got into a physical altercation with his fiancé in a casino elevator in Atlantic City, NJ. Rice was indicted and charged with aggravated assault and the NFL suspended him for two games. Many thought the NFL’s punishment should have been harsher, but the story quickly faded away. Later, in September of 2014, a full video of the altercation in the elevator surfaced and was released to the media. The video shows Rice and his fiancé arguing and hitting at each other; the video ends with Rice knocking his fiancé unconscious and literally dragging her out of the elevator. He stood there calmly, as if this was a normal occurrence, while casino security and others were trying to help her. Rice, being a public figure, brought the issue of domestic violence to the forefront of all media outlets. For several weeks this was the topic of all new stations, magazines, and internet sites. The public was appalled at Rice’s actions and many were angry at his fiancé for sticking by him. Many questions arose about Rice’s case and domestic violence in general. For example, “Doesn’t he know any better”? “Why did she go on to marry Rice a month after the altercation instead of leaving him”? Should he be allowed to play professional football any longer”? All of these questions and public concerns led me to investigate domestic violence further and the epidemic of it in this country. The main question I

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). Women in poorer communities, however, tend to have stronger beliefs that violence is justified when used against them (Alhabib et al., 2010). Due to a lack of research

Domestic violence is something that I never thought I would be a victim of. As I look back nearly 21 years ago hanging out with friends at a club, I met a flashy guy that seem to have it going on. He was dressed in the latest fashion, he had a lot of money flashing around and he drove a new gold Volkswagen Jetta.

* when Daniel had a broken arm in January 2011 the medical assessment was inconclusive but there were concerning features to the injury and its presentation. The recommendation was for a core assessment. This was undertaken but did not focus on the injury and its background and the long history of domestic violence. the assessment did not lead to any intervention with the family ;

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,

Domestic violence, is violent or aggressive behavior from a partner or spouse. There can be many different warning signs of domestic abuse. It can be one telling the other about not doing anything right. The abuser encouraging the victim to stay away from family or friends, showing extreme jealousy, insulting, demeaning, or shaming are also signs of domestic violence. Some victims aren’t aware that they are being targeted.
