Men Against Rape

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)

I love all these "REAL christians don’t do that" answers. That is a total load of crap. Domestic violence rates are highest in the Bible Belt states, along with teen pregnancy and abortion rates. So much for the fundamentalist types practicing what they preach. Given that 80+ percent of the US is "christian", no way could all these statistics all come from the remaining 20% of the population. "Christians" are big on denial when confronted with their dark side.
Blessings on your Journey!

In her recent keynote address at the annual conference of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Amanda McCormick, an employee of Praxis International, showed overt disdain for male victims of domestic violence by stating "I think I know a lot of men who deserve to be beaten."

Ms. McCormich is an idiot. I have known quite a few men and women that probably deserve to get all kinds of bad things happen to them because they aren’t nice people but the bottom line is Nobody has the right,ever, to physically strike another human being! If someone makes you that miserable than you can always walk away.

Why do Christians hate women?

If you think that USA are not Christian so answer this : Why westerners hate women ?

Uh oh, I guess you don’t realize that Muslims also live in the USA.
So of these murders I suppose you think none were Arabs?

The Bible actually teaches God made man in his image and he made them male and female.
The New Testament teaches that there is no male and female that we are one in Christ.

The true word of God teaches us to love one another as God loves us.. not like that of Islam’s god Allah who hates some people and created some to mislead and burn in hell and instructs you to actually kill those who reject Islam.

I suppose the Quran teaching of beat your wife and Islam with is honor killings, is good, which of course account for some of these murders in the USA as well as those overlooked in many Muslim countries.

Wow, I think you need to take of those dark glasses.. or are you blind?

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.

How do you get off blaming this on Christians/God.

How about the sinful nature of mankind?

Men are victims of domestic violence cases too. Not just women.
Men are more physically built than women, but there are cases of abuse directed at men from women as well.

What do you think illegals demand end to 287(g) but offer little evidence to back up Racial profiling,Unreported hate crimes, Families separated and parents deported for making “insignificant” mistake ?A group of fewer than 10 immigration activists made a litany of accusations against the Collier County Sheriff’s Office and law enforcement in general on Thursday afternoon during a press conference in front of the Collier County courthouse. They called for comprehensive immigration reform and the end of the Sheriff’s Office’s 3-year-old 287(g) program, which gives trained deputies the federal authority to act as immigration and deportation agents.

However, when asked for evidence to back up their accusations against the controversial program, the activists had little to offer.

“We’re looking for the data right now,” said Felipe Matos, 24, an undocumented immigrant from Brazil and a national organizer for the Basta (Enough) 287(g) campaign that’s planning similar stops around the country. “Right now we know the community is very scared, and the community is not reporting crimes.”

When asked for names of people who he believes the Sheriff’s Office deported without warrant, Matos refused.

“I can’t release names because if I was to release names, I would be going against the very will of the people who are scared to come forward right now,” he said.

Since the inception of 287(g) in Collier County in 2007, the Sheriff’s Office has placed nearly 2,700 immigration detainers on illegal immigrants for removal from the country, the agency reports. The Sheriff’s Office’s 287(g) program has two sides, a corrections program which checks the immigration status of everyone booked into the jail, as well as an investigative program, which targets and arrests criminal aliens with approval from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Sheriff’s Office reports that criminal aliens detained through the corrections program have an average of five prior misdemeanor arrests and one prior felony arrest, while those detained through the investigative program have and average of 7.5 prior misdemeanor arrests and 3.3 prior felony arrests.

“By identifying and removing these individuals from our community we are keeping Collier County citizens and visitors safe,” Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Michelle Batten said in an e-mail.

Rather than keep the community safe, Grey Torrico, 23, of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, said the 287(g) program creates “discomfort” for both legal and illegal immigrants.

“Victims of crime are less likely to report, and witnesses are at times too scared to say what they saw,” Torrico said. “Many hardworking families have been torn apart by the deportation of a parent detained for any insignificant mistake. 287(g) is not a solution to the current immigration crisis.

“On the contrary, it has created a climate of racial profiling and community insecurity.”

When asked if he approves of the deportation of violent criminals, Matos said that he only has a problem when “unjust laws get enforced in an unjust manner.” When asked, hypothetically, if he would support deporting an illegal immigrant guilty of rape, Matos said he was unable to give a “concrete answer.”

“I’m not ready to answer that question because I don’t feel comfortable without looking at the whole situation instead of looking at very specific cases like that,” he said.

Matos said that because of 287(g), victims of domestic violence are being booked into jail, another charge the Sheriff’s Office denies.

“We have always encouraged anyone who has evidence of racial profiling to bring it to our attention,” Batten said in an e-mail. “To date, we have not had a single complaint. Additionally, we are not aware of any studies that conclude immigrants are less likely to call police when there is a 287(g) program in place

People who are here illegally are criminals and should be deported and we as the American public as in any law abiding authority should have the right to request that proof. This country wouldn’t need to be condemned for racial profiling if other people who don’t belong here in the first place stayed in their own flippin country, live off of our tax money, and reproduce like rabbits just to be able to stay here. It is an ignorant mentality and is low balling the American economy.

Did you know that animal abuse has actually been linked to domestic violence? According to the ASPCA, a New Jersey study found that in 88% of families where there had been physical abuse of children, there were also records of animal abuse. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence conducted its own study in which 85.4% of women and 63% of children reported incidents of pet abuse after arriving at domestic violence shelters. Animal abuse is immoral, unjust, and outright savage. Today, I’m going to explain to you how you can help stop animal cruelty.

Is there anything I should improve on? Anything I should say differently? Or not at all?

This is a strong, coherent opening. You caught my interest!! Way to go!

According to a joint study conducted by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Harvard, 90% of those who abuse women are likely to be Atheist.

How do Atheists explain these results?

I’d like a link to the source, as well.

Such a result would not be surprising. There is an overwhelming amount of sociological data that shows that those who are abstinent until marriage report greater sexual satisfaction and less sexual dysfunction. Likewise, partnerships that begin with marriage last longer than partnerships that begin with cohabitation (a new study by the US Centers for Disease Control released just two weeks ago was the latest pebble of evidence in this mountain.) Cohabiting partners have a rate of domestic abuse of about 13%, compared with married-only partners at a rate of about 4%.

Those behaviors of abstinence until marriage and marriage over cohabitation are not exclusively religious practices it must be noted, however they are most consistent with the values of those who profess religious faith.

And so it would stand to reason that those without religious faith would be more likely to cohabit and thus more likely to perpetrate and suffer from domestic abuse.

Link, please.

Even if the study actually exists (and I do not see any reference to it in my searches so far) I’m not sure the conclusion is a direct correlation. This appears to be more of a "cohabitation increases the odds of abuse" result rather than a "atheism increases the odds of abuse" result.
