...How Teen Mothers Describe dating Violence Abstract This paper will examine Teen Dating Violence (TDV) from the perspective of pregnant teenagers and teenage mothers. TDV is recognized as a major current public health issue threatening youth and is even more prevalence during pregnancy and parenting (Herman, 2013). The task of parenting and the stress that comes with pregnancy are two psychological issues that are beyond the capabilities of the adolescent’s period. Dealing with these stressors often leads to TDV with adolescent parents. Throughout this paper I will discuss the viewpoints of selected teen mothers and pregnant teens, their thoughts on the causes, and their suggestions on how to stop or reduce TDV. The method used to collect the data will also be analyzed, the research limitations will be discussed, and the impacts of the research result on the nursing profession will be elaborated. Teenagers have the most understanding of their age group; therefore, the thoughts and experiences of young mothers will be useful in the development prevention strategies specific to their needs (Herman, 2013) Key words: teen dating violence, pregnant and parenting teens, interpersonal violence TDV can be defined as any negative use of power or control in teenage relationships. Development tasks of the adolescent period, hurdles for all adolescents, are even more complex when teens confront pregnancy and parenting and may predispose them to violent relationships (Herman, 2013)...

...Statistics about domestic violence Incidence and prevalence of domestic violence: General There are no reliable national data on the general incidence of domestic violence in the UK1. In 2011/12, 7.3% women (1.2 million) and 5% men (800,000) report having experienced domestic abuse2. 31% women and 18% men have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16 years. This amounts to 5 million women and 2.9 million men3. Domestic violence has repeatedly been identified as a major factor leading to death in or related to pregnancy and childbirth: see below. In 2011/12, the police reported nearly 800,000 incidents of domestic violence4. Domestic violence accounts for 10% of emergency calls5. Domestic violence has consistently accounted for between 16% and one quarter of all recorded violent crime6. There has been a 65% increase in number of domestic violence prosecutions between 2005/6 and 2010/11 and a corresponding 99% increase in number of defendents convicted7. Despite this, domestic violence conviction rates in the five years to 2011 stood at just 6.5% of incidents reported to police – though a much higher proportion of around 70% of those charged8. Women are much more likely than men to be the victim of multiple incidents of abuse, of different types of domestic abuse (partner abuse, family abuse, sexual assault and stalking) and in particular of sexual violence9. Hester, 2008. Office for National Statistics (ONS), 2013. 3 This is a smaller proportion...

...The focus of this paper is to examine the social networks of survivors of domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV). The differences between their informal and formal social networks will be defined and closely examined, as well as how each network impacts the lives of the survivors.

...Abstract This paper addresses females as perpetrators and instigators of domestic violence. As early as 1974, Richard Gelles was cautioning social workers, police, and women’s groups that they needed to consider the possibility that women are indeed perpetrators of domestic violence and that they may actually deliberately instigate many cases of domestic violence. Unfortunately, the same women’s groups who rallied unceasingly to protect women and children who suffer the effects of the violence have failed to recognize that women do, indeed, hold some responsibility in the perpetration. There is a difference between blaming the victim, and empowering the victim. By accepting responsibility for actions that contribute to the perpetration of violence, we can cease to be victims and begin to be equal partners. 1 The Social Environment Surrounding Domestic Abuse The woman’s movement has been slow to embrace the concept that women can be abusers. For many years, the women’s movement in general – and specifically women’s community groups that support shelters – have taught women that they have a right to live life free of abuse by their male domestic partners. Unfortunately, we as a nation have failed to communicate the other half of this etiology: men have a right to live life free of abuse by their female domestic partners. For various reasons that will be discussed in this paper, treatment providers and law enforcement agencies have been slow to recognize the extent of the level...

...Teen Dating Violence PS 315- Instructor Cotchery F 5:00-10:00 Park University Abstract This research paper is being presented to examine if adolescents are most at risk for abusing and assaulting their dating partners because there is a direct or an intermediary association from exposure to dysfunctional behavior at home, at school, or in their community. I am going to write this paper by doing research on the internet and looking through books and journals at my local library. These influences not only affect how youths behave, but also what they believe about acceptable forms of behavior in their relationships. Theories of Personality According to Campbell (2007) dating violence is defined as the perpetration or threat of an act of violence by at least one member of an unmarried couple on the other member within the context of dating courtship. This also includes dating between same sex couples, although most statistics have been gathered from heterosexual couples. Teen dating violence differs from adult domestic violence in that when a teenager is abused, she or he becomes isolated from their peers due to the controlling behavior of the partner. Intimate partner violence among adolescents is associated with an increased risk of substance use, unhealthy weight control behaviors, sexual risk behaviors, suicide and pregnancy. (Dobash, 2000) According to Dutton (1995) teenage victims of dating violence are more likely than their peers who...

...Road of Domestic Violence Karen L. Silverio PSY 325 Statistics for the Behavioral & Social Sciences Yashica Woods-Buchanan 1 December 2012 I chose to focus on the factors that impact domestic violence for my final paper because in my career, I have seen the rate of domestic violence increase. I have always known about it, but never really took the time out to actually research what the causes were. By choosing this topic, I hope that not only will I be able to educated myself a little more, but maybe help save someone’s life by helping them remove themselves out of a domestic violence situation. Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. Domestic violence is a type of abuse. Usually a spouse or partner is involved in causing injury to the other spouse or partner. However, domestic violence can also involve a parent, child or other family member. The single most influential factor of domestic violence in society is the continuation of a generational cycle of abuse and/or a history of abuse in the family of origin. It is also linked to a person who has poor self-esteem (Life challenges, 2002). Domestic violence, sometimes called battering, family violence, or intimate partner violence, is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Domestic violence can include physical...

...Domestic Violence on Children. Lillian Tejada SUNY Oswego Rhonda Mandel October 1, 2015 Interrogating the Impacts of Domestic Violence on Children. Most of the social, economic, emotional, and psychological problems people face stem from their childhood. These problems are fruits of domestic violence. But what is domestic violence? Primarily, Domestic violence is any act that amounts to violence in a family setting. A child can be exposed to domestic violence through witnessing parents' fights, being subjected to such violence or being neglected to face the world and fight serious life problems single handedly. Domestic violence has recently become an epidemic. A report from the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault (SCCADVASA) showed that in the United States of America, about ten percent of children have experienced domestic violence. Another study from the same organization showed that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. It seems men are the key perpetrators of domestic violence. This act of inhumanity sometimes reaches escalated levels. A renowned researcher found that one thousand and six hundred women die each year in South Carolina from wounds incurred from injuries during altercations with their partners. This is evidence that domestic violence has developed in modern families and is spreading rapidly (Banks, Hazen, Coben, Wang, & Griffith, 2009). Disputes and violence in families...

You need also to link your topic and your personal experience to the theoretical perspectives (epistemologies and paradigms) that were discussed in class.

...CONSEQUENCES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CHILDREN. Recent studies in the United States show that almost half of the children who had witnessed domestic violence or been physically assaulted , gets injured during these incidents. It can be defined as the misuse of power and an excessive act of control. It is possible that children get injured accidentally because they get caught in the violence which is usually directed at their mothers or they may be the victims of serious levels of physical punishment as well. After studying 1,888 child protection records authorities found that 27% of the cases was about domestic violence in the family (Gibbons, 1995). At an extreme level, physical abuse will cause death. A study of 30 child death examination exposed a strong combination between domestic violence and fatal child abuse (James,M. 1994). Another important effect of domestic violence on children’s experiences is social, such as separation from their community, family and friends, changing schools and often losing their homes with theirs possessions. Children who witnessed domestic violence have significantly more frequent behavioural problems and emotional disturbance than children who are not in an abusive environment. Researches all over the world imply that domestic violence affects children in many more ways and causes physical, behavioural and psychological problems. In the past two decades, there has been growing recognition of the of domestic violence in the society. Moreover...
