Men and Women Changing Role of Domestic Violence

By Bertha Pulliam-Carlson

The book focuses and discuses about violence against women and men. This is a global problem that affects both industrialized and non-industrialized nations worldwide. This means that gender-related violence crosses many path. These include sexual assault, spousal abuse, sexual harassment, and coerced sterilization and childbearing. Others are criminalized abortion and female circumcision.

Violence issues against women are generally omitted from the agenda of health. Many cultures blame women for the abuse rather than researching for the true facts. Therefore, many women have limited resources for seeking help to learn how to cope with negative behaviors in an abusive relationship. So be aware that some men regard their wives as property, which means they have all of the power to make demands and control. The new changing role in domestic violence has taken on a new face. It is no longer husband against wife; the dynamic has changed drastically within the family networks. Now we see intimate partner violence due to the changing role of players.

INTRODUCTION

Society today has so many issues causing people to do the unthinkable to the ones they claim they love. When we turn on our media devices, we are drenched in different forms of domestic violence, and we do not even realize it through the movies and sitcoms we watch to the music we listen to. When we look at the news, domestic violence has taken on a new face. It is no longer husband against wife; the dynamic has changed drastically. Domestic violence within family networks beyond typical male/female relationships in the United States is popping up all over the place. It has become so prevalent that domestic violence is being termed intimate partner violence because of the changing role of players. To date, limited research has investigated how different forms of direct and indirect abuse (at home) independently affect externalizing symptoms. In layman’s terms, how our childhood experiences with abuse play out in our own relationships on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of aggressive and delinquent behaviors in preadolescents that suffered at home from direct and indirect child abuse by their parents, the way intimate partner violence (IPV) is handled by local and federal law enforcement, and the new epidemic facing the domestic violence fight: the media.

To date, over ten (10) sources used to research the topic at hand all regarding domestic violence point to some element of economic hardship as the cause. Other sources point out behavioral issues in the abuser’s past as an indicator of the potential to become an abuser in adulthood; yet these triggers that encourage this behavior are affiliated with several causes from joblessness to economic instability and learned behavior from our kinfolk and those we surround ourselves with as adults. For instance, the case of Jeffrey Dahmer and Konerak Sinthasomphone in Milwaukee County represented both outcomes of this research. Jeffrey was known to have behavioral issues as a child and experimented on animals before he started using people as his subjects. This scenario to the typical person would not be considered domestic,
