Domestic disputes

Domestic violence is a gender related crime that has been occurring for a significant period of time, but is one that has a short record. Much of the criminal jurisprudence in the United States defines this behavior as abuse against the wives or against intimate partners. American criminal codices that list down the action as a specific crime rather than lump it together within the general crime of assault define it as “family” or “domestic” violence (Erez, 2002). Texas law has identified three distinct acts of domestic violence: “domestic assault,” “aggravated domestic assault,” and “continuous violence against the ...

In the 1970s, domestic violence came into view when feminist groups revealed the complicity in women to be compliant, even with men lifting their hand against them. Women who were maltreated were given refuge under the women’s movement, while health and social workers were being trained on how to handle women who were maltreated. By the 1980s, international organizations had declarations defining violence against women and children as “an unacceptable violation of human rights [and] a source of tragic consequences” (Romito, 2008, p.1). This, however, may have proven to be fragile, especially in certain parts of Europe wherein ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

There are a variety of criminal acts that happen daily around the world. People who are involved in these vicious acts of violence become victims. Victims do not ask to be involved and be hurt by acts of violence. Once that happens, it changes lives forever. The life of the victims and their families will never be the same because of the terror and fear they have had to endure. The offenders who cause this terror are either apprehended for their crimes or left to continue the horrific pattern of violence. The two main types of violence that occur ...

Introduction

Adolescence is a developmental period of individuals aged 13-19, which has its own peculiarities to distinguish between childhood and adulthood. Adolescents’ brain is not fully matured and is still subject to rapid development, which explains specific changes in youths’ reflecting and behavior. Spear (2013) supports this idea by claiming that “adolescent-typical ways of thinking and behaving appear in part neurobiologically based” (p. 11). In this regard youths’ social life relies on their perception of self-identity formed through family relations and peer networks in school and out of school. ...

Executive Summary

Over one million children in Australia are victims of domestic and household violence. Children become victims of family violence both directly and indirectly. Family violence is worse among the minority groups such as the Aboriginal community and the Torres Strait Islander societies. Culture plays a major role in breeding or tolerating domestic violence to continue taking place in the society. The government of Queensland does not have adequate policies and legislations to ensure the safety of children in the society. Accessibility to resource centers is limited for children victims of domestic violence. Functional institutions, employers, media and the government ...

Introduction

While many indigenous Australian families live in happy hopes, there are those who are victims of domestic violence and partner abuse. Some families are still unable to deal with past generational trauma that resulted from family abuse, and it is passed to their children. Children from this indigenous community are exposed to violence, family disintegration and financial stress. This program will examine these effects and explore how they can be tackled. It will focus on design and delivery of trauma services and care (Bradshow et al, 2005, p.28).

A culturally sensitive program respects the community’s beliefs, values and ...

Abstract

Domestic violence is a worldwide issue. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly created a declaration to help eliminate violence against women. Since then, ample research has been conducted on both the effects and individuals who conduct domestic violence. Over the years, researchers have discovered that certain personality traits that become apparent in childhood are also apparent in perpetrators of domestic violence. These studies suggest that children and adolescents who display these personality traits should be placed in early intervention treatment in order to limit the likelihood of domestic violence abuse during adulthood. The following discusses five different personality ...

These people are compromised of 2,500 residents and they live apart from one another. The main challenge for this kind of abuse is the access to services.

Domestic violence refers to a situation where a spouse uses a particular pattern of emotional, physical, sexual abuse, financial depravation or a combination of these behaviors to control or threaten the other. Although this form of abuse is directed to one of the partners in a relationship, children also become victims because they stop feeling safe and secure. The children also stop seeing their home as a place where they can find refuge and support whenever they feel threatened by the outside world. Accordingly, violent experiences have profound impact on the life of the children as well as their ...

Introduction

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child. In fact, the emotional turmoil created by growing up in such an environment heightens the chances of the infant engaging in rebellious activities such as drug abuse and other denial behaviors in their youth. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that Susie’s exposure to childhood molestation at an early age contributed to her drug problems and overall response to his abusive marriage. Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

Introduction

Family violence is perhaps one of the most widely researched and analyzed topics across different contexts. This is because of the varying implications that it causes on the society. While much has been hypothesized regarding family violence, it is important to note that it mainly connotes to the use of abusive behavior as a means of harming or controlling a family member. Use of such behavior can also be termed as family violence when an individual uses it on a person they are in a relationship with. In a nutshell, family violence entails emotional and physical abuse inflicted on ...

Introduction

Effective parenting is essential to the moral development of a child. In fact, lack thereof compromises the ethical beliefs maintained by the child, and this could result in the indulgence in unacceptable behaviors. According to the Journal of Family Violence, females are more vulnerable to the effects of distant parenthood than the male gender (Bowles, Dana and Jennifer 681). As a result, witnessing traumatizing events in their early developmental stages could negatively affect their social abilities and integration with other people. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that most of the female inmates had instances ...

Behaviors of Adolescent Sex Offenders

Adolescent sex offenders can be classified based on categories of offenders, type of their victims and the manner of their offenses. Valid empirical typologies should show distinct profiles of juvenile sex offenders, and the characteristic of their offenses that reflect the underlying psychological problems or disorders. This is very crucial because this information can be used to evaluate the unique needs of each group relevant to clinical intervention and assessment of recidivism. Recent research has primarily subdivided the juvenile sexual offenders based on the age of their victims, history of delinquency, their personality.

Family violence occurs for various reasons. However, its effects are non-selective and manifest in the children, the family unit, and the community at large.

As the world advances in the 21st century, seeking new routes to increased civilization and improving the quality of life, violence still counts as a significant obstruction in the way of the social progress. Domestic violence is a topic of intense actuality within the Australian indigenous communities. Factors affecting the high rates of family violence in the Australian indigenous communities include the heavy unemployment among members of this community, the low socio-economic conditions and living standards, substance abuse, lack of proper education, dispossession or the distress caused by colonisation (Cripps & Davis, 2012). Racism and vilification, the decline of the traditional values ...

According to feminist researchers, the intimate violence is widely committed by men against women. In the event of family violence, researches show that the rates of violence are evenly distributed among men and women relatively. Sexual violence is omitted by feminist researchers; they ignore the gendered relationships inequality, reasons, intents, and effects of any violence. The fact that women are on average in terms of strength, they are weak compared to men physically. For example, men punched stronger than women do and caused more injuries. However, there are instances that it is hard to identify who first initiated the ...

One of the theories that explains family violence is patriarchy or male dominance theory. In many cultures where man is regarded as the pillar of the family, he is the authority and therefore he can treat women and children whatever he likes. Male domination is frequently supported by the inherited experience of patriarchal supremacy. This experience gives a man the right to treat women and children as their property or object. Due to this, women are learned not to complain and to put up with physical or emotional abuse. In most cases, women who are victims believe that they deserve ...

Family violence among the indigenous families in Australia has been a major occurrence as part of their social culture. Violence has been considered as a private matter among residents of this community that is known to uphold its culture and traditional practices.

Cases of violence and mistreatment in the confine of a marriage institution is now widely acknowledged a prominent issue in the society even though it is difficult ...

During the recent years, one of the most critical issues that have come to the limelight is of the domestic or family violence. According to Tually, Faulkner, Culter and Slater (2009), “Domestic and family violence is when someone intentionally uses violence, threats, force or intimidation to control or manipulate a family member, partner or former partner.” The basic characteristics of such kind of violence includes power imbalance where the abusive behavior is used by the perpetrator so that control is obtained on the victim through fear (Gelles, 1988). In 2009, the deputies of the sheriff discovered a 94-year old woman locked ...

In the wake of gun-related massacres like Sandy Hook and the Aurora theater shootings, the relationship between violence in the media and violence in real life becomes more of a pertinent issue than ever. Many argue that the increasing level of violence in films, television shows and video games is contributing to increased aggression in teenagers. Some studies have suggested that media violence has the capability to increase the likelihood of individuals, especially teenagers, to engage in real violence (Anderson et al., 2003). This is seen to vary depending on the individual, of course, as various teenagers have different degrees ...

Criminality is one of the most complicated concepts in the study of social sciences. Understanding criminal behavior is an uphill task considering that gurus in the field of criminology have yet to reach a consensus on whether or not criminality is a rational conduct. Currently, most criminologists argue that criminals are rational human beings and, considering that, the criminals are usually sober minded people, criminal conduct is a rational conduct since the people committing the offense are sane and know what they want. Apparently, the aims of most criminals have been connected to human wants, usually physical wants. What people have yet ...

Indeed, since time immemorial, violence has been visited upon the weaker partners in the family. In Queensland the most affected groups are the women, children, special relationships such as gays, lesbians, and transgender partners. Statistics demonstrate that historically, violence has been perpetrated mainly by the men. The main inspiration is often the need to maintain power balance within the family setup. Violence could take physical, non-physical or both forms. Physical violence includes bodily and sexual assault while non-physical ...

However, when the trauma is too much to take, the partner can choose to walk out of the marriage or to look for help from the friends. Sometimes, following ...

Introduction

Domestic violence towards children could be sexual, physical, emotional or economic abuse (McCue 6). Emotional abuse is a part of all these abuses. Research indicates that the longer the violence continues on children the greater the danger it poses to a child (McCue 6). A child’s resilience is affected significantly through direct abuse. Children who are direct victims of abuse tend to have problematic behaviour (Dowd et al 5). Nelson (14) gives an example of domestic violence where the father poured kerosene on his infant son because he was upset with the mother. Scenarios such as these are common. ...
