Domestic Violence paper?

April 292011

Hi, i need to write a paper on domestic violence and could use some help. Here is what the paper needs to have: Section 2: Literature review

Review the current literature on your social problem. You must review 5-6 peer reviewed empirical journal articles. No books may be used as references for this portion of the paper unless they have been specifically cleared with Dr. McGuire. I will assume all articles are empirical articles. If you use a different type of article (methodological, theoretical, or review) you must specify it as such in the paper. However, it is better to avoid these sorts of articles. Describe what is known and not known about your social problem. Be clear in your writing about which cites are findings from a study and which are from discussion points, or topics from the introduction. In general in this section, I am only interested in the empirical findings from studies and to a lesser extent the discussion points. (3pgs)

Section3: Data

Describe data about your topic from sources other than peer reviewed empirical literature. This will include data such as tables of rates from state or federal agencies, evaluation reports from private organizations of policy, policy briefs from organizations. Basically, your goal is to determine what is known about your social problem. Use about 4-5 sources. 4 pages

This section will discuss general information on spousal abuse, revictimization and the effects of spousal abuse on the economy.
According to Domestic Violence Resource Center an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of spousal abuse each year and out of the 85% of domestic violence victims are women. women ages 20 -24 are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.
Women that suffer from spousal abuse often suffer from depression, anxiety, hostility and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) related symptomatology.
 
 
Repeat victimization is an problem for spousal abuse and it can begin when the victim is a child because women that are abused as children are three to five times more likely to be abused as adults. Women that have been abused once before are two times likely to be abused within the next two year time period. Women that have been abused twice before are four times more likely to be abused in the next two years and women that have been abused three or more times are ten times more like to be abused in the next two years.
 
 
Domestic violence is a major issue in the United States according to National
Coalition Against Domestic Violence, American Bar Association and Domestic Violence
Resource Center state one in four women has experienced domestic violence in their
lifetime. This has a very large effect on the economy

Domestic violence also has a negative impact on the economy. According to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence the economic impact of spousal abuse to the American economy exceed 12 billion dollars each year this includes both medical and mental health services which exceed 5.8 billion dollars annually. Then there is the loss of almost 8 million days of paid work due to abuse victims missing work through fear or injury. This loss is the equivalent of more than 32,000 full time jobs.
 
 
health care costs for women with a history of
intimate partner violence remain 20% higher than those for women with no history of
violence.

Section 4: What are the current policies in our state or country, and how do you recommend they be changed. Look up the current policy (state or federal, whichever applies) regarding your social problem. Make recommendations and support them based on your review of literature, the data from section 3, and what you determine to be current policy. Be sure to support any ideas you suggest with evidence either from the peer reviewed literature, based on your theory, or from the other data you find.

domestic violence against men? what would you do in these situations?
Domestic violence against men is contantly ignored.
Men, what would you have done in this situation?

"His then fiancee, Michelle Williamson, punched him in the face several times, stubbed out cigarettes on his body, lashed him with a vacuum cleaner tube, hit him with a metal bar and a hammer and even poured boiling water on to his lap. That at 6ft he was almost a foot taller than her made no difference. He still has burn marks on his left shoulder from when she used steam from an iron on him. Williamson, 35, is now serving a seven-year jail sentence for causing both actual and grievous bodily harm."

"My wife punched me in front of the kids when i was driving, she said said she would cut off my fingers at night, so i went to the police. The police officer at the desk said that "Only men do the domestic violence here".

Eventually they interviewed us both, i was interviewed WITH her in the same room for 10 minutes. Then she was interviewed ALONE for 30 minutes and she told them that i has tried to strangle her. She came out with handfuls of anti – violence leaflets, they gave me NOTHING. I was lucky , they didnt arrest me !

I hasten to add, i NEVER EVER touched her(i nearly lost an eye once), and i left her several times, but there was nowhere for me to go. "

Jesus you’re a pu$$y.

Why do people use dumb rape charges against Kobe as an insult?

April 212011

This is basketball not court.

Again….

Simply because it is the only stupid thing they can say against him… and the only thing they do is hate, hate and hate Kobe & Lakers because they can’t accept that the reality has proven again and again that Kobe Bryant is the greatest player the league has seen after Jordan on the 98 Bulls.!!!

Many feminists here seem to imply that the rate of domestic violence against men is nowhere near the rate of?

April 192011

DV against women. They imply that men are much more likely to violent against women than the other way around. When others argue that DV against men is under-reported and not taken seriously, the argument is ridiculed and dismissed. With this in mind, how would you explain these statistics?

"Perhaps surprisingly, statistics have shown that lesbian people experience domestic violence at a very similar rate to that of heterosexual women (Waldner-Haygrud, 1997; AVP, 1992). It has been estimated that between 17-45% of lesbians have been the victim of at least one act of violence perpetrated by a female partner (Burke et al, 1999; Lie et al, 1991), and that 30% of lesbians have reported sexual assault / rape by another woman"

Derek-I’d be surprised if you’ve even grown any pubic hair. Back off on what you did with women, because I can promise you I’ve done more in one year than a chump like you will in a lifetime.

Hey Dorian, I just thought I should let you know that I f*cked your mom in the @ss last night. I’m gonna do it again tonight, wanna lick her juices off of my c*ck after I’m done?

OH and I love how you think you know my sexual history. LOL you little fruit cake bt*tch made fagget you have no idea how many girls i’ve been with.

Could a man press charges against a woman for a retaliation rape?

April 172011

A man is raping a woman and she manages to get the upper hand during the act. She’s able to subdue and restrain him. Then she uses something to violently sodomize him as an act of retaliation for the rape he perpetrated on her. Would he have a good case against her for rape? Would they be able to successfully get each other convicted of rape?
I agree that the question is not appropriately worded.
I just looked up Brompton’s Cocktail. Jeez, it’s that bad?

very good question. I feel that logically the two cases should actually cancel each other out. Seeing as how the woman would have been emotionally stable enough to cause harm to the man in retaliation, rather than self defense. Because subduing the man (in such a way that would be considered necessary to stop the rape) could be considered self defense, but the returning of sexual assault is unnecessary and drastic, so therefor would be considered illegal. However the society we live in would never see it this way, the womans actions would be looked over by any judge/ jury. Mainly because a women raping a man is seen as a joke, and most of the time legally dismissed. Also on a final note if a judge or jury would have allowed a case like this to be punished on both sides, they would be seen as monsters in a sense and receive a lot of "flak".

How can violence against women be reduced? Other than domestic violence?

April 162011

I am writing a paper on how to reduce the violence attacks against women in my hometown. i have already though of ways to possibly reduce domestic violence but how could the numbers of robberies and assault be reduced as well

Stop the pampering that goes on in the court system. They used to actually punish people that did something against the law. Now it is just a little slap on the wrist and they go home. This teaches nothing. Make it painful for someone that does this by some jail time for a few months the first time. Not time number 12.

How you understand domestic violence against women?

April 142011

Normally people associate this issue with their local customes and local traditions, and consider this act as a family or personal matter, what is your openion?

I think it’s overestimated and should shift towards domestic violence against men. Feminism increased double standards on that issue.

Why is violence against men almost glamorized, hailed, or praised?

April 122011

I see this everywhere. Domestic violence against men is never an issue, if a girl kills a guy in a movie everyone claps, a man gets raped by a women no one cares and calls him gay if he reports it, etc

First of all, Jeff, a slap on the butt is a little different than a slap on the arm – it’s a lot more sexual and very degrading when it’s done in the wrong context or by the wrong person (a woman’s butt is the same as her boobs – neither are there for you to touch whenever you feel like it). Second, regarding the inequity of violence, I think most of it has to do with the unequal size, strength, and propensity toward violence. Men are physically stronger and generally larger than women. Most women who hit at full force usually won’t be able to do as much damage as when a man hits at full force. Look at when 2 men fight – they nearly kill each other and there is usually blood everywhere. Look at when 2 women fight – they grab the hair and rip clothes. It doesn’t make it right, but feasibly, if a man is getting hit by a woman, chances are he could knock her out in one punch versus her 100 punches. Regarding the rape, I’m not saying it never happens, but let’s look at the equipment needed – it’s MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more difficult for a woman to rape a man instead of the other way around (even if a woman isn’t ‘ready’ for sex, a man could still stick it in despite a woman saying no, the hole won’t just clamp shut during stress…however, there isn’t much a woman could do if a man’s member remains flaccid, and that part of a guy is very psychologically tied).

How all of this is treated in the criminal justice system is a bit different – I do agree that there is a huge inequity in the way the genders are treated. Generally, yes, a man would get arrested over a woman for domestic violence, but it’s up to the police officers to make the arrest…and most are men, and when they return to the home to check on the woman, getting a date is usually on their mind (I work around PO’s all day, I know for a fact this happens). Change the hyper-masculine mindset amongst yourselves, stop treating each other like gay is a communicable disease, and you’ll likely see the results you want. You can’t really blame society if, within your own peer groups, you’re all fighting for alpha male status – just think of how many times you called one of your male friends gay or a fag.

And if all else fails, it’s one of those double standards that likely won’t change. It’s the same with a woman sleeping with 10 guys in a week being viewed as a whore versus a man who sleeps with 10 women in a week being viewed as a God.

Why do Christians hate women?

In 1991, 5,745 women in the United States died as a result of homicide.

* Six in every 10 women who are victims of homicide were murdered by someone they knew. About half of these women were murdered by a spouse or someone with whom they had been intimate.
* Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15-44.
* Every 21 days, a woman is killed by domestic violence.
* Up to 50 percent of all homeless women and children in this country are fleeing domestic violence.

The Women’s Health Data Book Report — Violence Against Women indicated that:

* More than 2.5 million females experience some form of violence each year. Almost two of every three of these females are attacked by a relative or person known to them.

* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found in a national survey that 34 percent of adults in the United States had witnessed a man beating his wife or girlfriend, and that 14 percent of women report that they have experienced violence from a husband or boyfriend.

* More than 1 million women seek medical assistance each year for injuries caused by battering.

* In 1992, the American Medical Association reported that as many as 1 in 3 women will be assaulted by a domestic partner in her lifetime — 4 million in any given year. ("When Violence Hits Home." Time. June 4, 1994).
* Among all female murder victims in 1992, 29% were slain by boyfriends or husbands
* The average prison sentence of men who kill their women partners is 2 to 6 years. Women who kill their partners are, on average, sentenced to 15 years. (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1989)
