This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of domestic violence refers to acts of violence and abuse of one family member over another. Family violence is an issue of major concern for psychologists and families, community and social decision-makers. It is a dramatic phenomenon, which generates pain, trauma, physical and psychological scars. This book provides an overview of the prevalence, risk factors and several perspectives of domestic violence. Chapter One is about attachment as a vulnerability factor of victimisation in the context of intimate partner violence. Chapter Two analyzes animal cruelty and intimate partner violence. Chapter Three focuses on violence against women and child maltreatment. Chapter Four emphasizes the victimization experience (direct and indirect) of children in the family context. Chapter Five presents data of the Childrens Exposure to Domestic Violence Scale (CEDVS) applied in Brazil. Chapter Six discusses the phenomenon of domestic violence between same-sex intimate partners. Chapter Seven studies domestic violence arising from a concept of honor and referred to as honor based violence. Chapter Eight presents current literature on the effectiveness of domestic violence interventions targeting adult perpetrators and adult and child victims. Chapter Nine provides the latest results of the research on facilitating successful treatment processes in perpetrator programs. Chapter Ten examines the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act 2010 in Bangladesh. Chapter Eleven aims to determine whether there is an association between domestic violence and suicide risk in female victims of domestic violence attending the Multidisciplinary Center for Comprehensive Care of Violence. The last chapter sets out to show that gender based violence is no longer restricted to women by men."

Download or read book Domestic Violence Accusations written by Christopher Martens and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California defines spousal abuse as the willful infliction of "corporal injury" on a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, or parent of the defendant's child. For a conviction of this type of domestic violence the prosecution must show that the defendant willfully inflicted "corporal injury on a victim" and that the injury resulted in the victim suffering a "traumatic condition." Essentially, this means that any intentional physical violence against one's spouse or former spouse that causes that spouse to suffer external or internal wounds such as scratches, cuts, bruises, or suffocation, may constitute spousal abuse. Depending on the seriousness of the facts of the case, the prosecutor may charge the defendant with either a misdemeanor or a felony. One who is facing these kinds of charges should immediately retain the assistance of a criminal defense attorney. Regardless of whether the defendant is innocent or guilty, their livelihood is threatened by this charge. Anything that defendant does or says without first consulting an attorney could negatively impact his defense at trial.

Download or read book Domestic Violence Prevalence and Effects on Employment in Tow California TANF Populations written by Joan Meisel and published by . This book was released on 2003* with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Random samples of TANF recipients eligible for welfare-to-work activities (N=632) were surveyed in two California counties for three consecutive years, starting in 1999. Overall, 54% of women interviewed at all three rounds met the criteria for an "estimated need for domestic violence services" category at some point during the three years, but only 8% met the criteria in all three years. Physical abuse, work-related abuse, serious abuse, and estimated need for service were all negatively associated with working at least 32 hours a week at the time of the interviews. Estimated need for services was associated with working fewer weeks in a year, lower wage income, and with loss of jobs during the year. Approximately half of the women with estimated service needs had sought help from police, courts, a domestic violence agency, a counselor or a physician"--p. [1].

Download or read book Decriminalizing Domestic Violence written by Leigh Goodmark and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decriminalizing Domestic Violence asks the crucial, yet often overlooked, question of why and how the criminal legal system became the primary response to intimate partner violence in the United States. It introduces readers, both new and well versed in the subject, to the ways in which the criminal legal system harms rather than helps those who are subjected to abuse and violence in their homes and communities, and shares how it drives, rather than deters, intimate partner violence. The book examines how social, legal, and financial resources are diverted into a criminal legal apparatus that is often unable to deliver justice or safety to victims or to prevent intimate partner violence in the first place. Envisioned for both courses and research topics in domestic violence, family violence, gender and law, and sociology of law, the book challenges readers to understand intimate partner violence not solely, or even primarily, as a criminal law concern but as an economic, public health, community, and human rights problem. It also argues that only by viewing intimate partner violence through these lenses can we develop a balanced policy agenda for addressing it. At a moment when we are examining our national addiction to punishment, Decriminalizing Domestic Violence offers a thoughtful, pragmatic roadmap to real reform.
