Family Violence By: Katelyn Loraine Wood-Carney
Domestic Violence • Domestic Violence is described as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one partner against another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, or cohabitation. • Abuse and violence exist among all social classes, but they tend to be more common among those with lower incomes and greater economic stress.
Domestic violence, so defined, has many forms, including physical aggression or assault (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects), or threats thereof. • Sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g., neglect); and economic deprivation.
Forms of Domestic Violence • Physical • Emotional • Mental • Sexual • Economical • Verbal
Effects Domestic Violence has on Children. • 3.3 million children witness domestic violence each year in the US. There has been an increase in acknowledgment that a child who is exposed to domestic abuse during their upbringing will suffer in their developmental and psychological welfare. • Because of the awareness of domestic violence that some children have to face, it also generally impacts how the child develops emotionally, socially, behaviorally as well as cognitively. • Children are the least protected members of our society. Much physical abuse is camouflaged as discipline or as the parent “losing” his or her temper.

Types of Intimate Violence • Common Couple Violence-Violence that erupts during an argument when one partner strikes the other in the heat of an argument. (Family & Marriage Experience, page 419.) • Intimate Terrorism- Occurs in relationships where one partner tries to dominate and control the other. • Violent Resistance- Encompasses what is often meant by “Self-defensive” violence. • Mutual Violent Control- refers to relationships in which both partners are violently trying to control each other and the relationship.
Elder Abuse • There are several types of abuse of older people that are generally recognized as being elder abuse, including: • Physical: e.g. hitting, punching, slapping, burning, pushing, kicking, restraining, false imprisonment/confinement, or giving excessive or improper medication • Psychological/Emotional: e.g. humiliating a person. A common theme is a perpetrator who identifies something that matters to an older person and then uses it to coerce an older person into a particular action. It may take verbal forms such as name-calling, ridiculing, constantly criticizing, accusations, blaming, or non verbal forms such as ignoring, silence or shunning. • Financial abuse: also known as financial exploitation. e.g. illegal or unauthorized use of a person’s property, money, pension book or other valuables (including changing the person's will to name the abuser as heir). It may be obtained by deception, coercion, misrepresentation, undue influence, or theft. This includes fraudulently obtaining or use of a power of attorney. Other forms include deprivation of money or other property, or by eviction from own home • Scam by strangers: e.g. worthless "sweepstakes" that elderly persons must pay in order to collect winnings, fraudulent investment schemes, predatory lending, and lottery scams. • Sexual: e.g. forcing a person to take part in any sexual activity without his or her consent, including forcing them to participate in conversations of a sexual nature against their will; may also include situations where person is no longer able to give consent (dementia) • Neglect: e.g. depriving a person of food, heat, clothing or comfort or essential medication and depriving a person of needed services to force certain kinds of actions, financial and otherwise. The deprivation may be intentional (active neglect) or happen out of lack of knowledge or resources (passive neglect).
Violence Against Men • Determining how many instances of domestic violence actually involve male victims is difficult. Male domestic violence victims may be reluctant to get help for a number of reasons. • Some studies have shown that women who assaulted their male partners were more likely to avoid arrest even when the male victim contacts police. • Another study examined the differences in how male and female batterers were treated by the criminal justice system. The study concluded that female intimate violence perpetrators are frequently viewed by law enforcement and the criminal justice system as victims rather than the actual offenders of violence against men.
