Recommended: Impact of domestic violence on family and family life

Introduction
This research proposal has been written to explore if perpetrator programs are effective in preventing violent behaviour. The rational for selecting that subject is that in recent times domestic violence in the UK rose accordingly to the Office for National Statistics, there was an increase of twenty-seven percent with regards to violent incidences by the end of 2015 (Office for National Statistics, 2016). In addition, the figures of reported sexual abuse rose by thirty-six percent, which is the highest percentage level since 2003 (Office for National Statistics ,2016). For this reason, the Government UK acted and established domestic violence perpetrator courses to the public, with the aim to change violent behaviour to those …show more content…

However, the reason what shapes to do research on that subject is, that diverse literature regarding domestic violence has been found where the attitude and the lack of knowledge of professionals gets criticised. Moreover, that often during rehabilitation programs fail behaviour of perpetrators gets reinforced by professionals where perpetrators seeking themselves as a victim who needs help regardless that in that case the responsibility of the violent men moves away (Harne et al.,2008, p. 156 and Iwi et al.,2015, p.163). With that background knowledge, it seems that there could be a connection between the attitude, the lack of knowledge of professionals and the less effectiveness of some perpetrator

    It has been reported that Jamie has ‘committed more than one act of intimate partner violence’ which suggests a lack of control. Jamie denied responsibility for these aggressive acts and stated ‘she can be a total cow when she wants to be’. Weldon & Gilchrist (2012) found that offenders believe partners provoke violent responses which can be highlighted in Jamie’s case as he reported ‘she should know when to shut up’. Although there is evidence of the lack of ability to control aggression, there is insufficient evidence regarding the level of aggression and minimal violence was reported from the sexual

    ...nd incidence of such violence, there still seems to be gaps amongst the research that creates links to other aspects of IPV. By providing a further analysis of how women go from being the victim to the offender, it may create a more realistic understanding of why the recent intimate partner homicide/violence rates for women offenders has increased. Perhaps society needs to not see females as become more serious 'aggressors' and 'bad girls' but rather as women who are finally fighting back. By relating the social learning theory, the self defense theory as well as the male proprietariness theory to intimate partner violence it creates a more thorough understanding of the causes and affects of this form of violence. Conceivably, future directions of research on intimate partner violence should investigate the reasoning behind this new 'husband abuse' phenomenon.

    Prior to the 1970s, little attention was paid to interpersonal violence and there was a common believe that it was best left behind closed doors (Fagan, 1989). This lack of attention led to a growth in research concerning interpersonal violence. Individuals working with female victims of interpersonal violence realised that in order to prevent further interpersonal violence there was a need to reform perpetrators (Rosenfeld, 1992). The increased attention on rehabilitation led to a number of models that attempted to explain why interpersonal violence.

  • Intimate Partner Violence

    1173 Words  | 3 Pages

    Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is historically referred to as domestic violence. It describes a pattern of coercive and assaultive behavior that may include psychological abuse, progressive isolation, sexual assault, physical injury, stalking, intimidation, deprivation, and reproductive coercion among partners (The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF), 1999). IPV leads to lifelong consequences such as lasting physical impairment, emotional trauma, chronic health problems, and even death. It is an issue effecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. Eighty-five percent of domestic violence victims are women (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2003). More than one in three women in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2012). Thirty to sixty percent of perpetrators tend to also abuse children in the household (Edelson, 1999). Witnessing violence between parents or caretakers is considered the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next (Break the Cycle, 2006).

  • Domestic Violence and the Effect it has on Family

    “Domestic violence is a violent confrontation between family or household members involving physical harm, sexual assault, or fear of physical harm” (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). In most places domestic violence is looked on as one of the higher priorities when trying to stop crime. Domestic Violence cases are thought to be influenced by the use of alcohol, drugs, stress or anger but in reality, they are just learned behaviors by the batterer. These habits can be stopped as long as one seeks help (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). For instance, a child is brought up in a household that is constantly involved in criminal acts. As this child grows up, the criminal lifestyle will be synonymous with his/her behavior. With that being said, it is also a given fact that if a household and its members are surrounded with violence, the relationships between one another will be strained. Eventually this will end up in a divorce or even worse, death, depending on how far the violence goes. If there is violence in a family, then the ones who are affected by it may feel like they deserve it because of what the batterer is accusing them of doing. Battering occurs among people of all races, ages, socio-economic classes, religious affiliations, occupations, and educational backgrounds (Stewart & Croudep, 1998-2012). Domestic violence can affect families in more aspects than one; the husband-wife relationship, the children, and also the financial stability.

Yet as America progresses through time, no one solution has been proven to significantly reduce the ongoing domestic violence occurrence. However, the potential for lowering the number of domestic violence occurrences is present, but first solutions for reducing this problem have to be found such as the creation of community based programs, increased censorship in television, administering treatment to potential perpetrators, and enforcing more harsh penalties.
