introduction of the problem
"If you scream and no one helps and no one acknowledges it and people look right through you, you begin to feel you don't exist. If you existed and you screamed, someone would help you. If you existed and were visibly injured, someone would help you. If you existed and asked for help in escaping, someone would help you." Andrea Dworkin Addressing concept of dating and domestic violence is a fairly new idea for college campuses. Consequently the idea of dating and relationship violence did not exist. Although violence has been a part of intimate

    Since 1993, the rate of domestic violence has been steadily declining. The reason for this is still unknown but there is probably more than one factor contributing to this declination. However, there is still cause for concern. Clark (2008b), proclaims, “as many as 3.5 million incidents of family violence occur each year, 49% directed at spouses, 11% at children, and 41% against other family members” (pg. 973). In 2010,…

    Intimate Partner Violence

    In chapter 5 in the book “African American Families” written by Angela Hattery and Earl Smith, the authors examined different ways in which intimate partner violence is shaped by other social problems, such as employment, incarceration and health. Hattery and Smith went as far as, interviewing different couples, and examining the similarities and differences between race and ethnicity. In this chapter, Hattery and Smith broke down the different factors and triggers that cause intimate partner violence to occur. The authors make it very clear that there is no specific description of batterer; meaning that, a batterer can be male or female and not just one particular race. According to Hattery and Smith, men who were victims of psychical child abuse are twice as likely to batterer in adulthood, and if intimate partner violence took place in a household, most likely the child will develop that bad habit and repeat what they see. Men feel that a part of their masculinity traits is to be the breadwinners, and the head of the household. Therefore, when they feel that their masculinity is being threatened, they react in a way such as being abusive to their significant other because it makes them feel “in control” and having “power.”…

    Imagine living a life like this woman. Jane comes home to find a dozen roses on the table. John greets her with so much affection. With one hand around her waist, he fills his other with a fist full of her hair pulling her in an intense kiss. It seems he hasn 't seen her for quite awhile. He holds her passionately close as he whispers in her ear, "I could never live without you." If someone were watching from the window, they would never guess that last night the same two people had an argument about the way she folded his laundry. They probably wouldn 't notice the amount of makeup she used to make the black eye he gave her less noticeable. She can’t help but wonder what happened. What did she do to cause someone…

    A part of human nature is to form relationships with others in our society. We form these relationships to preserve ourselves and the greater good of mankind. These relationships we as humans form , are supposed to be synergistic to both parties that are involved in said relationship. Unfortunately, twenty-two percent of women and seven percent of men have been victims of intimate partner violence over the course of their lives (Seecombe,2012,pg.309). We must also take the statistical data with a grain of salt. Sadly, most cases of intimate partner violence go unreported due to people not wanting to get into what they believe to be a private matter, and embarrassment.…

    This bill requires colleges to not only create and publicize the school's sexual assault policy, but must also outline how the university or college handled each sexual assault incident, post-assault procedures, any prevention programs the school have, how students can report assault, and the disciplinary hearing for both the victim and offender. Colleges are also required to tell if they can afford current services and resources for mental health services, and assist students with academic or housing resources after the assault (Nelson,2010; Hall,1995).…

    For this paper, I am interested in the topic of adolescent dating violence and whether or not intervention practices are effective. While I am still focusing my efforts on this one question, over the duration of my research thus far, several more questions have popped up for me. I am interested in the current practices of secondary schools in addressing this issue of dating violence. However, I realize that just like colleges, high schools vary drastically in their education and policies surrounding these issues. As a student who is involved with sexual assault education and reform here at Georgetown, I wish I could do the same at the high school level. Looking back at my high school experience, I realize that even though I went to an amazing…
