In every society, a continuous attempt has occurred on reducing human’s confidence and happiness. Crimes are one of the reasons behind this effort. This have been proven by Casciani (2015) stated that over seven million offenses happened in 2014, and an 11% fall for the past 12 months. Additionally, this study also shows than violent crimes are taking over the other crimes. As known, crime is action acting against the laws of the country, which is done usually by an individual (Oxford Dictionaries 2015). However, violent crime can be described only as a physical behavior done to the victim, such as hitting and assaulting. It has been revealed throughout social media and news that people with the age between fifteen and twenty-four are the victims
Domestic violence has always been a tough and compromising issue. The effects of it are never minor and should not be taken upon lightly. However, it is surprising to think that it was only until the mid 1980’s that domestic violence cases were beginning to be taken upon with some actual care and resources. Through these articles, it will be easier to understand the effects of children in domestic abusive families, how women feel about confronting the problem and the methods they choose to attain them and finally what underrepresented demographics act like in these situations.
Domestic violence is a universal phenomenon, with millions of people as victims and perpetrators (World Health Organization (WHO), 2012). It destroys homes and families. Victimization occurs regardless of race, gender, religion, class, and sexual orientation. The term is often used to refer to violence that occurs between two people in an intimate relationship, but extends to violence against children and the elderly (Valiulis, 2014, p.124). I use the term domestic violence in this research refers to intimate partner violence. Globally, 30% of women have endured either physical or sexual abuse at the hands of their partner (WHO, 2012, p.2). Unfortunately I was not able to find a reliable global statistic on the victimization of men.
