When Domestic Violence is a Pattern, are questions of Justification Relevant at all?

Are the better question for most people - "when is it appropriate to leave an abusive situation?" and "How much should anyone be prepared to tolerate?" What do you think?

What happens when someone is found not guilty of common assault / domestic violence? Just wondered on this - someone close to me has just lost their case in a magistrates court - the person was found not guilty of common assault (total miscarriage of justice!!!) in a domestic violence incident as apparently there was "reasonable doubt".

What do YOU define as domestic violence? For many months there have been many questions about that men are also victims of domestic violence. I agree, of course they also can be victims. But my question is what do YOU define as domestic violence, as I consider there is a big difference between real abuse or just relationship quarrels. Nagging for me, is not abuse, just a sign that someone is very unhappy. I mention nagging, as many times it has been mentioned as abuse. Please share your thoughts on this.

What do you think is the reason for the recent 50% drop in domestic violence cases? Personally, I see it as a good thing that domestic violence has fallen by half, but it has been falling for the last 20-years. The most significant change from the improved training of police officers, as a result of the Violence Against Women Act, that has driven down the rates, is the major increase in the arrest of women for domestic violence. Check arrest reports, and especially talk to any female police officer, and you will find that almost 40% of DV arrests are women, with the majority by female officers. That, in and of itself, is significant, in that female officers make up only 13% of police forces. I hope they keep up the good work and that the Associations for Female Police Officers & Women in Law Enforcement will push to mandate female officers be at least on of the responding officers on all domestic disturbance calls. Check any study on domestic violence, but look at the data charts instead of just reading the summary and you find that men are the victims in 39% of the cases. The story is reprinted from the Washington Post. As for the rest, search under DV against men. I've worked with the male victims for 18 years. http://www.abs-comptech.com/domestic.html A good study is Murder in Families by the US Justice Dept. What's the most common factor found in women you batter men? They account for 55% of fatal child abuse, on their own childrem, compared to that committed by anyone. Fathers are 8%, stepmothers/girlfriends are 9% & stepfathers/boyfriends are 10%. Numbers don't change when custody arrangements are taken into account. To learn how men can be victims, rent the movie MEN DON'T TELL. Also, talk to any female police officer. The most common form of battery against men is with a frying pan while he is watching TV or sleeping. Wxamples of it are seen all the time in comedies and in comic strips. Yes, I was a victim once, of a thrown pot of coffee, but my wife had developed Bipolar disease. I sent her away 2 years ago and treatment has helped her. The only reason I don't bring her back now is that she is being sued for injuries she caused someone else, and if I bring her back, they can add my income to the lawsuit, taking everything I own. We have to wait until it is settled. Of interest, I just took home a young woman from the KCKS jail. She was arrested on a DV involving 2 broken wine bottles. Neither had been drinking. The argument was over her being 2 hours late getting home from a movie with friends. She didn't call to say she was running late. There is a baby and the arresting officer was female. I offered to help them get into counseling.

If a mother charges her daughter with domestic violence, does the mother automatically win? This is between a mother and daughter, sad case in our family. The mother scratches the daughter with her nails (out of anger), so the daughter is bleeding and complains it hurts. The mother says she's glad about it and not apologizing. This irritates the daughter, so she runs up to her mother and pushes her on the floor. The mother is shocked her daughter would push her and calls 911. If she decides to press charges, will she automatically win, acusing her daughter of domestic violence?

Why is Rihanna still appearing in music videos? Should she be banned for encouraging domestic violence?

Feminists (and others), could you explain your understanding of the domestic violence problem? I would like to see what everyone considers the truth about the current domestic violence problem (particularly in the United States) to be. In other words, do you believe that it is overwhelming a problem caused by males that can only be stopped by males, do you think men and women are equally violent, or do you have another take on the issue? Please cite a source if you use statistics. I'll post my take on it after I get a few replies. Actually, I reported you, because you suggested that I "sniffed men's farts" and that "your sister could beat me up-" therefore, you were not contributing anything. I don't hate women- I want to see what feminists think about this issue. First off, Allegra, I've already read the advocacy garbage AND the actual DOJ/CDC statistics from the report. That little group is, like usual, taking things out of context. Secondly, that "85%" statistic refers to a source "5" which WASN'T EVEN RECORDED on the citations at the bottom. Very shoddy, if you ask me. Hey, I NEVER said that the DOJ statistics were garbage, I said the advocacy group was. The way they portrayed the statistics was shoddy and they didn't even cite one of the sources they supposedly had. That is AWFUL practice and even a high school student wouldn't make that mistake. I'll add my input on the problem now. A source: http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm It's an interesting read- it's basically a compendium of (often large) studies that concern violence in males and females. From what I've read, in at least the younger crowd of people (college age and below), women tend to initiate more violence than men, sometimes at a level twice that of males when "mutual initiation" is excluded. The main reason appears to be attention, i.e., "He wasn't listening to me." I, unlike some, will put it in context, however, and recognize that males do more serious damage than females do for reasons of strength, while female violence is more often slapping/pushing, although they are more likely to use objects. The updated death rates for 2004 are 1,159 women and 385 men, by the way, meaning that the ratio is almost exactly 75% male to 25% female. Conclusion- males still perpetrate the majority of physical violence for the time being, but this may change. The two radical feminist posters seem to have a severe problem with reading questions. The question is, could you EXPLAIN your understanding of the problem. If you did not agree with one of the models I posted, you are MORE than welcome to post your own. Anecdotes, wonderful as they are for emotional argument, will NOT explain the severity, incidence, or prevalence of domestic violence. Get that, "militant poster/advocacy group poster?" (Beating around the bush like that is getting on my nerves.) WOW, "Militant Poster..." "Is it because guns are so easy to obtain in the USA?" And exactly WHAT do you have to say about Switzerland, a country where almost EVERYONE owns a gun? What explains their low crime rate? "Experts" tend to be heathen fools who don't know what they're talking about. It will be MY generation, not YOURS, that will see an end to this problem. Do you know WHY that gun murder problem occurred? Because the university didn't follow procedures and issue a lockdown when it should have. If it had FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES, many of those students would be alive. Think before you type, because you can't very well take back sheer idiocy on the Internet. (Or Internets, if you're Bush.)

Should it be mandatory that female police officers be a corespondent to any domestic violence calls? Females officers are more likely to see through any false allegations made by women.

They believed the officers were not properly trained on how to recognize female victims of domestic violence and that women don't batter, they are simply defending themselves.

Can women be charged with domestic violence nowadays? I'm so sick of seeing men being charged for domestic battery. Some are even falsely accused by their wives.

Does a dismissed claim of domestic violence show up in a backround check? First I have to say, because I feel so vilainized by this, I did not, would not, will not, ever in my life, physically abuse a woman. I find the act of abusing a woman, or even violence (unless in self defense) appalling and inexcusable, which is why I am devastated by this claim. Long story short, my ex filed a frivolous domestic violence claim against me. She wanted an injunction against me in place for a year going into the hearing and when I showed up with witnesses she immediately decided to dismiss it. No charges or police involvment, no arrest, no evidence, just her claim in which she doesn't even state any violence, because there was none. Now this hearing for domestic violence is on my public records. I'm devestated by this, my character is very important to me and I have no criminal record whatsoever. I can prove she lied and seriously exagerated, etc. And show a motive for her actions. I'm now suing to prove my side. If I win, can this be removed from my records? Now that I am suing her she tells a friend about how high her legal expenses are (she hired an attorney to file the domestic violence claim) , say's "she doesn't know how things got to this" and "she just wants to be my freind". I really don't even know what to say to that. Thanks carrie ann, btw technically there were no charges, just what my lawyer says amounts to a "claim" by her. Charges would only have been if I was arrested. She basically just went to court and filed a written statement... ie: claim.

What do I do with a friend that I know is guilty of domestic violence? I have a friend that is currently incarcerated for Assault 4, Which in Washington State is what domestic violence is under. I'm pretty sure he did it. Met some witnesses and; unfortunately with his girlfriend, he fits the abusive personality to a tee. Manipulative, arrogant, all of that. However; he claims to be innocent and is pleading innocent and is trying to convince me of this. This personally pisses me off for the simple reaon of I was falsely charged with a slightly more serious charge in Texas (Assault to a family member with attempt to do bodily harm) and could not defend myself because I had little money. I am not one to abandon a friend and the ethics I fall under (Christian) require me to be there for him while he is incarcerated. However; he is seriously pissing me off. Suggestions? I already want to grab his neck and shake really hard; but, it's not right so I won't.

Do people who commit domestic violence get the punishment they deserve? I have to do a research paper on domestic violence and am trying to get some other views. Do people who commit domestic violence get the punishment they deserve or is it just a slap on the wrist? what do you do when anger management classes dont work. what about restraining orders that have been violated. Ok Me, what about if the person has already been charged once before and does it again. No matter how severe the crime. Flafuncops- yes there are things that can be put in place to keep the perp from attacking the victim again(restaining orders) but that is just a piece of paper. does it hold much weight?
