On 03/18/2017 at approximately 2132 hours, I was dispatched to 8340 Rd. 46 in the County of Montezuma, and State of Colorado for reports of a domestic disturbance.

The prevalence of domestic violence in the United States is that it is occurring far more often than many individuals would choose to admit. This form of violence is by no means new and culturally the problem itself does not discriminate, there is no specific criteria that completely omits one from becoming a victim of domestic violence. The dynamics of domestic violence consist of the aggressor utilizing violence to maintain dominance and control over the victim. The victimization that is consistent with domestic violence can come in various forms including, physical, sexual, psychological, mental/emotional, and financial. Domestic violence victimization is a cycle that usually is difficult to terminate by many victims as well as aggressors. Individuals involved in abusive relationships continue to remain in them for various reasons such as, maintaining financial stability, desire or hope that things will change overtime, fear that their abuser, will further harm them for leaving the relationship, embarrassment of their situation, or there may be children involved and the victims wants to avoid some of the harsh realities associated with a broken home. Oftentimes domestic violence victims blame themselves for the violence encountered by their abusers, figuring that if they do things differently the next time, maybe they won’t be victimized again by their partner. Conversely, violence committed by abusers is often self-driven and hinges on very minor actions executed by the

Before reading the first two parts of "Til Death Do Us Part" I knew that domestic violence was a growing issue in the United states, but it was a surprise to find out that the state that we live in for more than fifteen has been place in the top ten nationally in the rate of women murder by men (Pardue, Smith, Hawes, & Hauff, 2014). The first part gave the statics on how many victims were turned away in 2012-2013 from shelters around South Carolina which was a total of 380. The reason why this was done because there was no rom they said (Pardue et al., 2014). Since this information was taken there should have a increase in the number of shelters in South Carolina, but there is only 18 domestic violence shelters. There is about 36,000 incidents of domestic abuse in our state. That number is shocking, many people wouldn 't have thought that there were that many incident. The national statistics on domestic violence given by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence states:

It has been recorded that approximately “2,000,000 injuries, and 1,300 deaths are caused each year as a result of domestic violence” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This harm to and loss of life is due to the negligence of all Americans, in regards to the monitoring and managing of domestic violence in the United States. In order to combat the blatant disregard for domestic violence victims, Americans must support, aid, and assist those who fall victim to this crime, as well as educate those who are oblivious to the matter at hand. These actions will be essential in the eradication of domestic violence, as well as the preservation of the health and overall safety of all American people.

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.

Family violence is a large and heartbreaking issue that is very common in many households, as well as relationships. For this annotated bibliography, I will go into depth and find research related to that of attachment and partner abuse. Through my analyzing I hope to find links between the two, possible prevention, what it really is, and how to spot these tendencies in myself as well as others. Through this course and prior knowledge, I predict that whether or not there is intimate violence in a relationship has a huge correlation to attachment issues within the relationship. It is important to research these things not only for my aspirations in a career, but also to offer help for those I care about and know signs, to hopefully prevent

Domestic Violence, also known as DV, is a life-threatening crime that focuses on manipulative and abusive behaviors that are used to establish and maintain power and control over a loved one. Anyone can become a victim regardless of age, economic status, nationality, race, religion, or education. Unfortunately as severe as this crime is, it is one of the most frequently underreported crimes.

The prevalence of domestic violence in USA is constantly increasing from day to day. Various studies suggest that in most of the cases it frequently goes undetected. Among different types of violence, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is considered as one of the major public health issues faced by women. Around 1.3 to 5.3 million people are facing IPV each year in the United States mainly being immigrant women. The National Intimate Partner Sexual Violence Survey (NVAWS) reports that 3 in 10 women have suffered by an intimate partner. The paper mostly covers on the sources that are used by the immigrant women and the legitimate reasons behind.

This research paper focuses on the prevalence of domestic violence in the United States. Domestic violence impacts the lives of people from various age cohorts, sexual orientation, educational levels, ethnicities, and socioencomic backgrounds. Studies have revealed that domestic violence impacts the live of one and every four women, in comparison to one in every seven women. Women and children are primary victims of domestic violence when compared with men. Victims of domestic violence often experience devastating effects, such as suffering from extreme cases depression, developing Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), and dissociation. There are physical scares, such as black eyes and bruises, which remind them daily of their victimization.

Deaths, altercations, arrests, and separations. What could they possibly all have in common? That would be domestic violence. From professional football players to celebrities that have committed domestic violence. Domestic violence is now a trending topic that is being heard throughout the country. Lawrence Sherman and Richard Berk conducted a domestic violence experiment in Minneapolis. In April of 1984 this experiment came out in the American Sociological Review, Volume 49, Issue 2.

Another con that the United States should evaluate is how violent women are given leniency in domestic violence cases. Engrained in the minds of the American people, women are still considered the weakest and fragile sex. For some people and feminists, domestic violence is only committed by men and women are always the victims. Additionally, it has been taught daily by the media and groups that men have the right to control women, which enforces the concept of women in an everlasting state of victimhood (Hines, Brown and Dunning, 63). Several studies and researches are able to challenge this mindset, for instance, the comparison study of arrested men and women done by Straus. Straus used the National Family Violence Survey (NFVS) on a sample

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.

According to research, thirty to forty three percent of children in the US have witness a some sort of violence between their parents. Violence can greatly affect young children’s mental and emotional development. Research indicates that the younger the children involved, the more vulnerability to experiencing effects from seeing domestic violence (Johnson and Lieberman, 2011). While witnessing the violence affects both mental and emotional stability of the child, it also changes the children’s behaviors (Lieberman, 2011; Ybarra, Wilkens, & Lieberman). Research states that a healthy and positive relationship between the child and mother can prevent or minimize dysfunctional developments.

If you are considering leaving an abusive marriage, you should immediately contact an attorney with experience in domestic violence issues. Domestic violence is all about control. It’s aggression in its most primitive and immature form as a reaction to a sense of helplessness or a loss of control on the part of the abuser. If you are considering divorce, they will most likely feel even less control over the situation. In many cases, this will lead to an escalation in abusive behaviors.

Domestic violence has had a widespread, international effect on intimate relationships with both men and women acting as aggressors and victims. Though domestic violence is an international issue, with many women being affected in non-Western and developing countries, much of the research and literature has focused on Western countries. However, as this is such an international problem, it is essential to draw research from areas affected by rampant domestic violence all over the world. It is also essential to study and document the occurrence of domestic violence against every age, as it can start among couples in their early teens all the way to elderly couples. This paper reflects on four peer-reviewed articles concerning factors and circumstances that often lead to higher incidences of domestic violence as well as ways to combat this issue. Through studying various peer-reviewed articles concerning domestic violence, many issues were identified that seemed to be associated with increased levels of domestic violence. For instance, male dominance and female dependence often correlated with a higher level of domestic violence. It is imperative that access to education, as well as greater awareness to the issue of domestic violence, be increased throughout the world in order to prevent and diminish the occurrence of domestic violence. It is also important to begin teaching children about domestic violence and how to avoid engaging in and be able to leave violent
