Background

Domestic violence has occurred for as long as their has been a written record. This is evidenced by laws, usually permitting it, throughout antiquity. It has most likely existed since humanity began, as it is observed in our closest genetic relatives, and seems to be stimulated by very primal parts of the brain. The Journal of the American Medical association began to describe battered child syndrome in the 1960’s, and between the beginning of humanity and when domestic abuse began to be described as a societal problem, little if anything was done. Since then, the United States has ...

Describe the study’s research design.

The study’s design was a relatively simple one, and the approach was experimental. During the study, officers of the Minneapolis police department were asked a series of questions regarding handling domestic violence calls (Sherman & Berk, 1984). The officers in the study were asked about three different ways to handle domestic violence calls, and were then assigned to three different manners of dealing with these calls (Sherman & Berk, 1984). Bachmann & Schutt (2013) suggest that engaging in follow-up interviews can be beneficial for both qualitative and quantitative studies. The study lasted for seventeen months (Sherman & Berk, 1984). During this time, ...

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.

Summary

Because of the prevalence of spousal emotional abuse, especially on women, it is considered as a significant societal problem that must be faced. According to several researchers, such as Dutton, Painter, Sackett and Saunders, psychological abuse leads to “serious negative psychological outcomes for the abused partner” (as cited in Reed and Enright, 2006). These effects include depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, learned helplessness, resentment, and low self-esteem. However, no kind of treatment has been empirically validated to be effective. One of the available treatments for the negative effects of spousal abuse is known as the forgiveness therapy. ...

Teenagers and Drug Abuse

Various theorists have tried to explain the reasons teenagers engage in drug and substance abuse while others don’t. Firstly, B. F Skinner (1982) had in place the theory that in some instances people are not responsible for their own personal behaviour if they don’t have a hand in creating and initiating it, but normally pick the behavior from elsewhere (Skinner, 2001). One may infer this to mean that in most cases, the environment that a teenager is always around may be a major determinant of whether or not he or she will be a drug abuser or ...

About the theory

Labelling theory is a theory that proposes that society imposes certain labels on people who are perceived to commit criminal acts(Lopes et al. 2012). Criminal acts refer to actions and behaviors the society deems wrong either legally or morally(Caputo 2008).

Child Abuse

Abstract This paper addresses child sexual abuse as a crime that impacts the victim psychologically, leading to long-term devastating consequences. Over the last three centuries, the number of children who have experienced sexual abuse is staggering. Also, there are many unreported cases mainly incest. Importantly, child sexual assault in the U.S. emerged as a social problem due to the high number of assault reports and lack of policies to curb the vice (Goodyear-Brown, 2011). Traditional laws were only protective as opposed to contemporary legislation that punishes the offenders. Also, children protective agencies didn’t address the issue of incest ...

During excessive alcohol consumption, an individual usually cannot control his actions, which can very often lead to dangerous and even tragic results.

The Kristin Lardner Case

The Kristin Lardner Case The divide between a theoretical discourse and its practical application has long become a pressing issue for many a concept created by the continuously inventive human mind. Just like when it comes to a practical application of justice, capitalism, socialism and the like, the concept of bureaucracy, in and of itself, initially was created in order to facilitate certain aspects of a society, in this case – its governance.

The family is an institution that is considered the safest and most secure recluse for people. However, when it comes to any kind of violence or crimes related to family, the cases are not worked upon with precision, and they aren’t broken down as other criminal cases because of the term ‘family.’ The family becomes a more private, yet complex institution that has its right to privacy and decision making with regards to rules and regulations that need to be followed. For instance, some parents might beat their children or treat them harshly because it is their understanding ...

Introduction

Intimate partner violence, widely recognized as domestic violence, can be best defined as “a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion used by adults or adolescents against their current or former intimate partners” (“Behind Closed Doors: The Impact of Domestic Violence on Children” 3).

However, it is a bitter truth that a great number of children do not have a haven-like home. It is ...

Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

Discovery documentary explains how the drugs affect person’s body by conducting the series of experiments to test coordination, concentration stress-resilience and strength, as well as general health condition of regular drug users. Some of the experiments’ results and body’s reactions were well-known and predictable, while the others were quite surprising. I found the experiments very informative, as they explained the biological aspects of drug effects. The most unexpected behavior for me was the heroin abuser, as she does not look as an addict, and what is more, does not act like one. She is driving a car ...

Physical abuse of children is undoubtedly a serious problem. Children are physically weaker and smaller than adults, so even ignoring the psychological impacts of abuse, physical abuse can be very dangerous to the child’s life. Long-term physical abuse can even impede a child’s physical and mental development, depending on the amount of trauma the body is exposed to (Childwelfare.gov, 2013). However, outside of the physical impacts, there are mental and psychological impacts of abuse, as well. For this reason, decisive action must be taken in cases where physical abuse of children is a known or suspected problem. Individuals who ...

Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other.

Question 1. What are the unintended consequences of mandatory arrest policies?

Response. Mandatory arrest policies are both excellent tools for law enforcement and problematic tools for law enforcement. In the case of a domestic violence situation, it is always better to try to remove the abuser or aggressor from the situation, because if the police or law enforcement leave and the abuse continues, it can easily escalate (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014). However, mandatory arrest policies can also result in unfair arrests, and there can be problems with utilizing mandatory arrest policies in certain situations. Indeed, in some situations, calling the police can result in both parties being arrested—even the victim (Alvarez & ...

Growing up in an environment where love is shared between two parents’ everyday and where happiness is not a dream is something that children and a spouse can only dream of when one of the parents is abusive towards the other.

The abuser is not thinking or just doesn’t care of not only the physical abuse that is taking place but also the psychological affects it will have on the members of the family. There are of course short term affects but also long term affects ...

Reflection Analysis

Since theoretical study on child abuse and neglect is extensive, there exist different theoretical explanations and understandings to every child maltreatment incident. Before we decide in which theory of child abuse and neglect an article falls, we should first consider some general points such as causation, possible outcomes and context of the article, then we apply particular theories. We need to take into account the multiplicity of how maltreatment has been understood because theories are made from homogenous research samples that restrict their soundness and application. This reflection analysis will cite five different articles concerning child abuse and ...
