Book excerpt: Anna Marie wanted to be a mother since she was five years old. It would be a quarter-century before she would give birth to her first child. Over the next 25 years, this mother and her children would experience her husband's unrelenting domestic violence. Read the story of how one mother fought back her abusive husband, an attorney. In her pursuit of justice, the author discovers exactly how unjust the American justice system is when it comes to helping victims of domestic violence. The author questions if "Blue Privilege" caused her justice to be denied? Is the American justice system is denying victims protection, services, and justice? Do victims endure prolonged abuse due to "Blue Privilege"? It is the author's position that the American government's justice system has prioritized growing agencies by showing the need for more money, more staff, more programs, and services. Yet the profoundly disturbing truth is this victim found no services beyond the fully staffed office. The reason for denial or rejection for services was always the same, "budget constraints". Annual budgets are created, submitted, and approved. They seem to always account for buildings, offices, and departments. Every department is staffed with directors and their assistant, deputy, and their assistant, supervisors, managers, caseworkers and administrators, but no money ever seems to ever be available for meaning services and support for victims of domestic violence. Worse, victims are treated with disdain and disregard while being denied protection or services. Supporting the government programs for victims of domestic violence, from the police to CPS to Family Court, is an army of attorneys licking their chops at a chance to squeeze thousands of dollars from unsuspecting and desperate parents, victims of domestic violence, who need legal representation. The author describes for the reader how she maneuvered through a labyrinth of government, social, and volunteer program designs to help battered women. Rarely does she find any helpful services, protection is denied more than once, yet government officials offered no alternatives while undermining her child's CPS case--in another state! Read as this mother takes on her abusive husband/DC attorney, fights for her child's protection while studying the law and court procedures to end up representing herself. The author offers practical solutions that could be implemented tomorrow to help victims of domestic violence escape living with violence. Lastly, the author encourages all Americans to unite and demand meaningful change for victims still trapped and oppressed by domestic violence.

The first part deals with the problem of domestic violence. Domestic violence is wide spread, wreaks havoc on families and sometimes leads to the death of a loved one. And, it goes both ways! Both men and women can be abusers or victims. Often family friends feel helpless. Questions arise. How can we help the victim when she/he does not seem to want to leave the relationship? Is there hope for the perpetrators? Can they change? We explain what domestic violence is, the causes, the consequences, suggested treatment and help for both perpetrators and victims, and a biblical view of marriage. In part two, we tackle the subject of anger management. We will define anger and its core dynamics, determine how to recognize it, see that anger is a choice we can manage, and identify the cycle of anger. We will identify the major mental distortions that fuel anger, and expand on practical strategies to manage anger.This book is born out of lessons learned from personal experiences, and Willis' extensive research, years of experience in counseling people involved in domestic violence situations and teaching anger management. If you are involved in an abusive relationship, and/or have anger issues, DON'T SET THIS BOOK ASIDE! You can find hope and help here. This book will change your life!

Download or read book Domestic Violence Offenders written by Alan Rosenbaum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s shelters and safe houses were a good first step, but they only address part of the problem. Learn what else must be done to address the problem of domestic violence! Domestic Violence Offenders presents recent research, current interventions, and legal standards for people arrested for domestic violence. It also addresses the controversies that have arisen in the wake of the mandatory standards for batterer interventions that have been established by various jurisdictions, examining the type of treatment modality and content permitted by various jurisdictions, the duration of treatment, and the relationship of the various standards to actual research. This essential book also provides suggestions for a more inclusive, less rigid process for creating standards and policies for use with this population. Handy tables and charts make the information easily accessible. From the editors: “The initial societal response to intimate partner violence was the development of the shelter movement for battered women. Women’s shelters and/or safe houses developed in almost all major population areas throughout the United States and abroad. The goals were to provide a safe environment for abused women and their children, to offer advocacy, counseling, and medical services, and to empower women to leave their abusers. While shelters continue to serve these and other critical needs and are an essential part of the service delivery system for battered women, they address only part of the problem. Left untreated, batterers often will continue to abuse their partners who leave shelters and return to the relationship. If their partners leave the relationship, the batterers may find new victims to abuse. The response to this harsh reality was the development of batterer intervention programs.” Domestic Violence Offenders provides you with informed discussions of: the implications of research and policies for those providing interventions why it is premature for states to establish certain rigid standards for batterer programs, and how some of the current standards may produce more harm than good the history of batterer intervention programs completion and recidivism among court- and self-referred batterers the Alternatives to Violence program and the experiences and perceptions of its founder common aspects of various intervention programs—confidentiality, group structure and length, partner contacts, leadership configuration, and program goals topics addressed by most programs—power and control, anger management, substance abuse, stress reduction, parenting, communication, and more the controversial and often misunderstood issue of female partner aggression and violence the Stages of Change approach to domestic violence treatment lethality assessment and safety planning for partners of batterers the advantages of conjoint therapy for certain types of cases the Illinois Protocol for batterer programs outcome research on programs for batterers and a great deal more!
