Annotated Bibliography On Intimate Partner Violence

Intimate Partner Violence Fatalities: Prevention and Intervention Intimate partner violence is considered the most life-threatening and distressing family issue on a societal platform (Hamilton, Jaffe, & Campbell, 2013). The term family is utilized loosely as familial depictions vary, but to be certain the family has two partners that can be diversified roles and gender. By definition intimate partner violence illustrates a pattern of behaviors that are deliberate and intended to gain power and control over another person (Hamilton, Jaffe, & Campbell, 2013). Intimate partner violence does not need to be necessarily violent actions, but can be verbal threats, isolation, neglect, and disempowering tactics. The series of behaviors and violence can hastily escalate and the probability of homicide increases in those relationship dynamics.

PA 604: Domestic Violence Data Exploration Project My research topic for this data exploration project was influenced by reading the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2014 Annual Criminal Victimization Report. From that publication, an intriguing statistic caught my attention and research interest. “The rate of domestic violence, which includes crime committed by intimate partners and family members, remained stable from 2013 to 2014 (4.2 per 1,000). No measurable change was detected from 2013 to 2014 in the rate of intimate partner violence (2.4 per 1,000), which includes victimizations committed by current or former spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends” (BJS Criminal Victimization, August 2015). I decided to investigate how this statistic was concluded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

The National Crime Victimization Survey (2008), the rate of intimate partner violence declined from 1993 to 2008. Intimate partner violence affected about 1 in 320 households in 2005 (Klaus,

The power and control wheel, a tool used when trying to educate victims of IPV, is symbolically represented throughout the book by demonstrating how these abusers keep control of their partners. This wheel details eight forms of violence that abusers commonly use to keep control over their partner, that include, using male privilege and coercion and threats to maintain dominance (Burgess et al., 2012, p. 300). Victimology also studies, the effects such patterns of abuse have on an individual, such as learned helplessness and PTSD (Burgess et al., 2012, p. 300). Furthermore, it is grounded in the approaches and steps of action to take in order to help victims of trauma and

Spousal Abuse People often turn away from issues that do not affect them, but this only lets the issue grow further until there is nothing left to do but deal with it. This could be why domestic violence has been taking place for centuries now. One issue that comes with domestic violence is spousal abuse- a problem that only seems to be getting worse, with ten million victims being beaten by an intimate partner each year (“Domestic Violence”). Although spousal abuse seems to be an ongoing issue in the United States, efforts are being made at both national and local levels to suppress the violence.

There is also an argument to this topic that dating violence is exaggerated. A Youth Behavior Risk Survey showed from 2003 that in all of high school, Freshman through Senior, only 9% reported that they had been violated in a relationship by their partner. The percentage of students who were abused were very few and dating violence shouldn’t be that much of a concern as people put it out to be today. In 2005, Intimate Partner Violence showed that 2.1 percent of high schoolers experienced and were the victim of physical violence from a boyfriend or girlfriend. These people believe that his percentage is extremely small and the fact that out of the whole high school less than three percent of the students have experienced this is pretty good and it shouldn’t be a big concern.

were no data regarding the perpetration of intimate partner violence during adolescence which could lead to an overestimation of the correlation between victimization in adolescence and perpetration in adulthood. The final limitation is the study did not examine the within-person changes in intimate partner violence from one wave to the next. Summary Both cross-sectional and longitudinal methods can be used to accurately obtain and analyze data about intimate partner violence.

Nowadays domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation, income, gender, or ethnicity.

The media is filled with violent news and stories of injustice in our society. Yet, Intimate partner violence (IPV) is rarely discussed or covered in the news. The term "intimate partner violence" describes physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive acts) by a current or former intimate partner (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010).
