Reflection Paper On Domestic Violence

Pre-offense information related to this case includes the relationship the victims had with the offender. If the offender was Brent Smith as is believed then Tracy Smith’s relationship to the offender is that she was Brent Smith’s soon to be ex-wife and the mother of his two children Reagan and Eion. Keeping with the suspected offender Brent Smith, Karen Green’s relationship with the offender was through Tracy’s relationship with him as Karen was Tracy’s former mother-in-law. Karen Green also cared for Tracy and Brent’s children while Tracy was at work as they were living with Karen during the time of the offense. Victim selection occurred based on the interactions the victims had with the offender.

Police are called into a local gas station where an armed robbery has just been reported. They now surround the premises looking for any possible evidence or whereabouts of the deviant responsible for this. Amongst the eyewitnesses there were no injuries but one shaken victim, Sally Mae Rickets, who was severely traumatized by this ordeal. Police question and gather enough information to pinpoint a main suspect, a white male, age 24, by the name of Ricky Bobby Smith. The local police department has a probable cause to arrest him. With a undiagnosed history of mild mental illness, two separate counts of misdemeanor, and the fact he has already been in prison and is currently

Like so many of the topics studied by investigators in our research institutions, domestic violence does not happen in a vacuum. In an attempt to better understand DV as it occurs in the real world with the accompanying compounding issues which often occur with DV (e.g. addiction, financial problems, health issues, language barriers, etc.), I propose a two-part research project. The first part will focus on undocumented DV survivors and their experiences and journey toward seeking assistance/resources for DV. The second part will focus on the perpetrator of DV and attempt to identify typologies of batterers. Taken together the hope is that this research project will provide a better understanding of domestic violence as experienced in the community.

Our existence can be illustrated by envisioning a painter who is fabricating a painting. As the painter begins to use the soft brush, its thistles with each movement construct systems and subsystems that are elaborately woven together to display biased perception of ourselves. Consequently, a misguided stroke may alter an exceptional piece of art turning it into a catastrophe. Regrettably, this metaphor unveils the misfortune that can occur in the lives of numerous individuals. Comparatively, like the painter who can be consumed by adversity, a victim of domestic violence with one misstep can eradicate his/her own life.
