So, the hypothesis is that if the level of education, women’s income and dowry increases then it will decrease the risks of domestic violence among married women. Education, women’s income and dowry are the independent variables whereas; domestic violence is taken as dependent variable. In this study mental illness, family influence and stigmatization (beating a wife is a normal thing) would be control …show more content…

In this type of research confidentiality and safety are more crucial than any other domains of research. It 's not an exaggeration to state that the physical safety and psychological well-being of both the respondents and the researcher can be put in jeopardy if sufficient precautions are not adopted. The interviewer is required to give full informed consent and guarantee that the interview process is affirming and doesn 't stimulate distress. It 's known that female victims may find profoundly disgraced, feel intense generalized fear, and be occupied with anxiety that they 'll be exploited again. A few victims sufficiently get over their fears to volunteer for medical and scientific investigation. Even when they 're paid for their engagement, their stepping forward is basically a generous act to serve other people. The first ethical obligation of researchers is therefore the security of these

Jackson Katz’s eye-opening diction elaborates on the idea of men’s violence by using phrases like “silence is a form of consent” and “need adult men in power to prioritize these issues”. The main point in this astonishing TED talk is that there should be a bigger emphasis on these domestic violence issues. Whether it’s men in power or just normal bystanders, there isn’t enough being done to stop the violence from happening. Men need to start standing with women and not against them. The silence from these people in power and in the bystanders is basically saying that they are agreeing with the violence being inflicted, since they aren’t doing anything to stop it.

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).

Hafizullah Emadi links women’s violence to men dishonoring their wives. He argues that “Women are continually abused by men who regard them as their personal property and there is no legal recourse to defend them. They are forced to marry against their will and young girls are forced to marry older men. Women are severely punished on suspicions of actions men deem to be dishonoring the family” (Emadi 254). Emadi argues that men subject women to punishment based on actions that men consider dishonorable to the family.

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.

There are various theories that have come up to explain the main causes of domestic violence, some include; learned helplessness theory, Intergenerational Transmission Theory, Social–Psychological Model and the feminist theory.

What is the greatest issue facing women in America today? This is a difficult question to answer but it can be reasonably assumed that domestic violence is one of the strongest front runners. More than 4 million women experience domestic violence each year in the United States, meaning that 1 in 4 women will face this issue in their lifetimes (Safe Horizon). In the last largest study on domestic violence it was found that intimate partner violence made up 20% of all nonfatal violent crime committed against women in 2001 and accounted for 33% of all female murders (American Bar Association). Two thirds of females killed by firearms were killed by their intimate partners and this is three times higher than the total number of males murdered by

The Good and the Bad Victims of domestic violence are not at fault for the abuse that is inflicted upon them. A lot of people ask why the victim stayed in the first place, but in some cases the answer is not always so simple. According to Why Do Abuse Victims Stay, “We often put ourselves in the place of the victims and imagine ourselves leaving at the first signs of abuse. But breaking free of abuse is not simply a matter of walking out the door. Leaving is a process.”

The conflict theory is often used in the study of inequality in a variety of areas for example gender, sexuality, race (Conflict theory 2014 & Furze et al. 2014, p. 11). It also suggests that by eliminating the privileges of the powerful population, welfare of all humans will increase (Furze et al. 2014, p.

that, a strong predictor of domestic violence in adulthood is domestic violence in the household in which the person was reared. A child’s exposure to their father’s abuse of their mother is the strongest risk factor for sending domestic violence from one generation to the next generation. This cycle of domestic abuse is hard to be break because parents have presented violence as the norm. Individuals living with domestic violence in their households have learned that violence and mistreatment are the best way to express anger. Someone resorts to physical violence because they have solved their problems in the past with violence.

The majority of victims in abusive relationships are by far women. A national report on domestic abuse in Afghanistan has showed that an overwhelming majority of woman, 87.2%, experienced at least one form of physical, sexual or psychological violence or forced marriage. But it was also seen that women who experience domestic violence don’t seek a legal divorce, partly due to economic dependence on their husbands and cultural pressure to keep families united. As a result, only 5% of cases involving violence against women surveyed by the UN in a recent report ended in prosecution in a formal court. People are not able to break away from relationships because of various reasons.
