Domestic Violence in Society

The Women Assistance Association defines domestic violence as physical, psychological, sexual or financial violence occurring in a family type or intimate relationship, forming a pattern of mandatory and controlled behavior. It may involve partners, former partners or other relatives. A more general view of domestic violence is an uneasy "patient" behavior. But sociologists doubt this and it is too common to say that it is only a job of a few people.

Unfortunately domestic violence is very common in our society. In the United States, it is estimated that 2 to 4 million women are victims of domestic violence every year. It is very likely that someone will be a victim of domestic violence every 18 seconds. In one study, about 80.8% of abusers are men, while 19.2% of female offenders fall under that. Women were abused, but most of the fenders reported were men (Etter & Birzer, 2007). Men attacking partners seem to have three main features of frustration and stress, gender role and learning behavior, and alcohol (Etter & Birzer, 2007). Excessive drinking is the main cause of domestic violence. Approximately 43.5% of the national prisoners are victims of the family, and 53.8% of the victims are members other than families who use drugs or alcohol when they commit domestic violence (US Department of Justice, 2005).
