Their mission statement, revised May 2009, asserts “YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all” (YWCA). Clark (2008a) defines, “ violence as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal-development, or deprivation” (p.973).

    There are six basic stages to the research process. Stage 1 is clarifying the research question. This would be the process in identifying the problem that is prompting the research. Stage 2 is proposing research, which would be the act of identifying the resources necessary to do the research. The third stage is designing the research project, or deciding which method to use to gather the information. Stage 4 involves data collection and preparation, which is gathering the data and making it ready to be evaluated. Stage 5 would be the data analysis and interpretation stage. Stage 5 is defining what the data is saying about the problem. The final stage, stage 6 is reporting the results. This is breaking down the interpretation into a presentation that shows the meaning of the data collected. (Cooper & Schindler, 2014) This is the process used by Paramount Pictures recently when it was in contract negotiations with the DVD rental company, Redbox.…

    According to Payne and Wermeling’s research, many victims remain in abusive relationships to avoid retaliation towards them or their children and revictimization of victims occurs at rates as high as 32% within 6 months of the first case of domestic violence (Payne & Wermeling, 2009). Some victims even try to work things out with their attackers by meeting their demands or simply trying to talk out their “problems”, which can lead to further abuse. “The most common reasons for not reporting domestic violence to police are that victims view the incident as a personal or private matter, they fear retaliation from their abuser, and they do not believe that police will do anything about the incident,” according to the Feminist Majority Foundation’s research (FMF,…

    Domestic violence has been at the most important part of the criminal justice system for many years now. Domestic violence has been known as one of the most severe crime around the world. The phrase domestic violence is now also known as Intimate Partner Violence, which in short abbreviates to IPV (Cares, & Felson, 2005). From numerous research it has been proven that poverty and alcohol consumption leads to domestic violence. Intimate partner violence (IPV), is when one of the partners use physical, sexual, or even mental abuse to hurt the partner they are intimate with. (Smith, Homish, Leonard, & Cornelius, 2011). However, domestic violence is also towards relationships that are not intimate, but are just together as a couple. Relationships where individuals were partners before, but are not anymore still go through abuses of all sorts even when individuals are not intimate. (Cohn, McCrady, Epstein, & Cook, 2010). Some type of abuse, which does not always have to be physical, or sexual, affects couples as in people in a type of relationship. Every couple at some point of their relationship will go through arguments and disagreements whether that argument leads to physical or sexual abuse or not, it does affect one mentally. Individuals in the relationship and the relationship itself are emotionally connected.…

    Women are traditionally vulnerable to abuse when they are in a relationship. Even in the 21st- century women still, carry the relationship with their violent and abusive partner. Such violent relationships can seem extremely strange, but sometimes we have to take a look into the root of the problem of the relationship and look at the logical explanation of what can be causing the individual to act in such violent behavior. Majority of the times men and women who are in an abusive relationship will most likely still be with that partner years down the road, they will not separate or divorce their partner because to them it may seem unbearable and at times they will feel like they cannot live without their significant other, when in actuality…

    The purpose of this poster is to show the devastating effects of Domestic Violence. The issue of Domestic Violence is that most people aren’t aware about it or are too afraid to speak out. The intense topic of Domestic Violence is one rarely spoken of, in my poster I was hoping to evoke the feeling of horror and to make it easier for people to break free from these relationships as they have support from their families and friends. We raise awareness by increasing the understanding of the impact of domestic violence, and providing programs and education that drive that change. The motivation behind this poster is to demonstrate the horrifying impacts of Domestic Violence.…

    Domestic violence is a behavior that is learned through observation and reinforcement in both the family and society. It is not caused by genetics or illness. Domestic violence is repeated because it works. The pattern of domestic violence allows the perpetrator to gain control of the victim through fear and intimidation. Gaining the victim’s compliance, even temporarily, reinforces the perpetrator’s use of these tactics of control. More importantly, however, the perpetrator is able to reinforce his abusive behavior because of the socially sanctioned belief that men have the right to control women in relationships and the right to use force to ensure that control. Most victim of domestic violence has several episodes of abuse before they actually report it to the law. According to Chicago Tribune, “Don't give it up. It's not going to happen again” is what most victims are told by their abuser. (Chicago Tribune, 2008)…
