Book excerpt: That family violence injures and kills its victims both physically and psychologically was established over two decades ago by early researchers in this field. Abused and Battered heralds the second generation of domestic abuse research: it examines the implications of the legal and social responses to both victims and offenders by systematically addressing the intended and unintended consequences of programs and procedures designed to ameliorate the effects of spousal and child abuse. Contributors to this multidisciplinary volume represent the leading perspectives in public health, law and criminal justice, psychology, and sociology. They provide new and sophisticated insights regarding the etiology of the multiple forms of family abuse and they suggest innovative strategies for mitigating the anguish resulting from physical and emotional violence against adults and children within households. The results of this research will be of interest to students and practitioners in sociology, public health, psychology and family studies, and to clinicians and therapists who treat victims or offenders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, Kentucky governor Brereton Jones granted parole to ten women who had been convicted of killing, conspiring to kill, or assaulting the men who had abused them for years. The media began referring to them as the "Sisters in Pain," a name they embraced. These are their stories. Linda Elisabeth Beattie and Mary Angela Shaughnessy's interviews of seven of the Sisters in Pain detail the physical, sexual, or psychological abuse they suffered at the hands of their husbands or boyfriends, battery beyond comprehension. Anyone who has ever asked, "Why don't they just leave?" will come to understand the interconnected strands of abuse that make just living through another day a personal triumph. Beattie and Shaughnessy address the pervasive nature of domestic violence in America and explore the legal ramifications of fighting back. Their interviews with the Sisters in Pain reveal the ways in which these women have picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and learned to face the future.

Download or read book Why Battered Women Stay written by Keisha Quallo and published by Keisha Quallo. This book was released on 2021-03-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a true story. Events are rehashed from what can be remembered from my childhood through my current life, as of the publishing date. My audience can follow through to gather their own opinions of where they feel accepting these situations may have stemmed from. While this is not a topic, in my opinion, that has been very popular from the perspective of the abused person; I believe this is mainly because the experiences are very embarrassing, challenging to go through and talk about after they are over, or while they are happening. We often feel we have no control. We don't understand why we allow this to happen to us, and no one understands us or the decisions we are making. Additionally, we often make many excuses where the situation is concerned and bottle it all up inside, hiding it and try to deal with it on our own. The idea to write about my experiences was inspired by the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. It was also an outlet to dealing with the abuse. Thankful, I didn't commit suicide, nor did the thought cross my mind. Still, I can relate to some of her experiences, and being in the situation I was currently in, I started writing it all down in an attempt to maintain my sanity and not bottle it all up inside. I decided that it was time to speak up about what I was going through and had previously gone through, giving first-hand accounts, experiences, thoughts, and perspectives on the questions everyone on the outside looking in has asked in situations like this. Questions I have repeatedly asked while I went through it. Why do battered women stay? Read on to see.
Download or read book Battered Woman Syndrome as a Legal Defense written by Brenda L. Russell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of the battered woman syndrome defense in the courts is controversial, particularly when women turn to homicide in response to a partner's abuse. Scholars worry that the syndrome has created a standard to which all battered women are compared. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution of the syndrome, its effectiveness in court, and the contributions made by psychologists and legal scholars to aid our understanding of the use of battered woman syndrome evidence in trials of abused women who kill. Of particular interest is the influence of history, gender roles, and stereotypes in the evaluation of defendants who claim to suffer from the syndrome.
