Another factor is growing up in a house full of violence, which can affect the child thus leading to the acceptance of domestic violence and causing them to grow like family members who do so. Other factors are psychological problems that could be caused by witnessing violence at their home every day or isolation, unemployment; (for example those who are inadequately educated might justify abuse because they have never been taught that violence is not the answer), depression induced by private issues, neglection, and homelessness. …show more content…
However, this does not belittle the wrong in domestic abuse. We should all vote to stop domestic violence because we all as human beings deserve to lead a peaceful life without fearing abuse or violence at home. We should also support people by providing them have treatments in order to recover from what they have experienced at home, place that should always be a safe environment to return to at the end of the day. Most of the countries do not have laws, which make it easier for people to take the risk without any consequences or punishments. Everyone has the right to feel safe and comfortable. People will never have convincing reasons for bullying or abusing each other, especially when it comes to family.

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.
