Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)

800 Words4 Pages

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an immediate public health matter that has recently been redefined to include “physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive tactics) by a current or former intimate partner” (Breiding, Basile, Smith, Black, & Mahendra, 2015). In this updated government document, the definition of an intimate partner is also reconsidered due to the need to address the intimate relationships of teens and young adults. Therefore, this updated definition allows inclusion of “spouses (married spouses, common-law spouses, civil union spouses and domestic partners), boyfriends/ girlfriends, dating partners and ongoing sexual partners”, which may include individuals that are adolescents …show more content…

However, there also seems to be a consistency among these differences concerning the subtypes emerging within the research (Gondolf, 1988; Gottman et al., 1995; Hamberger, Lohr, Bonge, & Tolin, 1996; Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart, 1994; Johnson, 1995; Tweed & Dutton, 1998). The most prominent and consistent typologies were characterized by Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart in their 1994 literature review of male batterers. These three subtypes established by Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart (1994) were operationally defined as generally violent/ antisocial (AS), borderline/ dysphoric (BD) and family only/ low psychopathology. The AS group was identified by males who engaged in moderate to severe martial violence as well as extra familial violence, had the most extensive criminal records and were most likely to have Antisocial Personality Disorder or Psychopathy. The BD subtype also engaged in moderate to severe martial violence, but with less extra familial violence and criminal behavior. However, the BD group was also the most psychologically distressed and emotionally volatile. On the other hand, individuals in the LP group engaged in the least severe marital violence, with this violence generally aimed at family members. Furthermore, these individuals were least likely to have a personality disorder or some form of psychopathology (Holtzworth-Munroe & Stuart, …show more content…

We see this etiological role in the previously discussed subtypes of generally violent/ antisocial (AS), borderline/ dysphoric (BD) and family only/ low psychopathology. However, personality research proposes that personality disorders are simply extreme variants of normal personality and this distinction between normal and abnormal personality may be arbitrary (O’Connor, 2002;

Battering husbands Violence in the family is a wide unfortunate phenomenon that can occur anywhere. When it comes to battered women, the psychologies makes distinction between two types of husbands and characterize each one of them differently. In this assay I will describe the similarities and the differences between those two types; the pit bulls and the cobras. There are not many similarities between the two. The main one that was discovered in the research is that both types of battering husbands are likely to have some kind of traumatic history that effects their current behavior.

PA 604: Domestic Violence Data Exploration Project My research topic for this data exploration project was influenced by reading the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2014 Annual Criminal Victimization Report. From that publication, an intriguing statistic caught my attention and research interest. “The rate of domestic violence, which includes crime committed by intimate partners and family members, remained stable from 2013 to 2014 (4.2 per 1,000). No measurable change was detected from 2013 to 2014 in the rate of intimate partner violence (2.4 per 1,000), which includes victimizations committed by current or former spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends” (BJS Criminal Victimization, August 2015). I decided to investigate how this statistic was concluded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

PROBLEM ANALYSIS According to the findings in the Royal Commission’s report into Family Violence (2016), AFV is a significant issue within the community and is on the rise. This is backed up by the 2015-2016 Victorian Police annual report which states that since 2006, there has been a consistent annual increase of young people under the age of eighteen perpetrating family violence. The Department of Human Services (2014), found that in 2011-2012, there was over 2000 family violence incidents that were allegedly committed by individuals under the age of eighteen, as well as 57% of those individuals was 15 years old or less (Victoria Police, 2012; & Department of Human Services, 2014).

During a time of catastrophe, presidents often have to make decisions that can have skeptical impact on both the U.S and the countries around it. Both Richard Nixon and Harry Truman were forced to make a decision regarding trading issues and the ending of WW1. The pressure from the unstable wars led Nixon to improve relations with a Communist country during the Cold War, while Truman had to find an option to end WW2 with the least lives lost.   Today our economy has a free and open trade relationship with China. However, this wasn't the case until February 21,1972.

Spousal Abuse People often turn away from issues that do not affect them, but this only lets the issue grow further until there is nothing left to do but deal with it. This could be why domestic violence has been taking place for centuries now. One issue that comes with domestic violence is spousal abuse- a problem that only seems to be getting worse, with ten million victims being beaten by an intimate partner each year (“Domestic Violence”). Although spousal abuse seems to be an ongoing issue in the United States, efforts are being made at both national and local levels to suppress the violence.

When the word “domestic abuse” is put forward, people may think it is far from their lives. However, it happens around each individual and it is closer than they think. Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to violence. And while physical injury may be the most obvious danger, the emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are also severe. (Smith and Segal 2)

According to Richard Heyman and Amy Smith, “... victimized children grow up to victimize others,” (864). Perry did not grow up in a very stable environment. He witnessed his father abuse his alcoholic mother, who eventually took him and his siblings away from their abusive father. When his mother died, Perry spent time in an orphanage where he was a victim of both verbal and physical abuse do to his bed- wetting habit. In a study conducted by Heyman and Smith, it was discovered that a male’s likeliness to be violent during adulthood is, “increased by exposure to father-to-mother violence…” (870).

However, societal frameworks continue to dictate social norms and treatment modalities. According to Baker, Buick, Kim, Moniz, and Nava (2013), by including same-sex intimate partner violence in the examination of intimate partner violence as an unabridged topic, there can be an adulterated and gendered-free enquiry. This allows conceptualization that takes into account other environmental factors that are not driven by heteronormative bias. The Ecological Approach addresses the complexity of intimate partner violence and considers various layers and intricate diminuendos that should be considered (Baker, Buick, Kim, Moniz, & Nava, 2013). Treatment providers are in theory able to conceptualize women as violent beings and victims can recognize their own victimization although it does not adhere to the expectations of society.

It is said that children who are mistreated by their parents and learned aggressive behaviors through social interaction went on to express these behaviors later in life and in their intimate relationships (Ehrensaft, Cohen, Brown, Smailes, Chen & Johnson, 2003). There is no doubt that witnessing and experiencing violence firsthand can increase one’s tolerance for violence and puts one at a greater risk for exhibiting the same behaviors as an adult. The intergenerational transmission of violence hypothesis also shows that childhood experiences from abuse or witnessing domestic

Even outside therapeutic relationships this is an issue that is cautiously approached, because the subject is very sensitive. Domestic violence is “a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner” (Chhikara, Jakhar, Malik, Singla, & Dhattarwal, 2013, pg.71). Domestic violence is also known as “domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, and intimate partner violence (IPV)” (James, Brody, and Hamilton, 2013, pg. 360).

There also clearly exists a gender divergence in relation to emotional violence. Women are more likely to experience emotional violence, different types of emotional violence, and intimidation/control. A third of women stated they had been made fun of and one in five girls reported that partners often yelled at them and controlled their lives (Gill, 115). In all these categories men reported much lower repeated
