Unlike other scholarly articles, this article gives us a widening source of how vast intimate partner violence is. Most other articles categorize intimate partner violence into physical violence, a type of sexual violence, stalking, and psychological event; this one categorizes intimate partner violence into: violent resistance, coercive controlling violence, situational couple violence and separation instigated violence. This article allows one to understand these types of intimate partner violence and figure and learn the pattern in their trends. I believe this article is a very rich resource and offers a really great in depth differentiation between the types of intimate partner violence, which would make it an excellent reference when it comes to research on intimate partner violence. This articles’ extensively differentiation between these types of intimate partner violence is important to the development of a criminal justice training program since it would allow criminal justice official to discover better ways of handling such cases and maybe stop them from happening again in the near
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).

Intimate Partner Violence: A Methodological Analysis Intimate partner violence occurs when either verbal, physical, or sexual violence is used by one or both partners in a relationship, such as dating, co-habitation, engaged, or married. The methodology used to obtain information about intimate partner violence is important because of how prevalent is in society, so obtaining accurate information is key to reducing it.

Nonsexual physical Intimate Partner Abuse is the tactic most people think of with Intimate Partner Abuse and battered women, including tactics ranging from slapping, shoving, hitting, burning, kicking, and stabbing to shooting, or any other form of nonsexual physical violence. Many research studies, police reports, and so on fail to distinguish between more minor and more serious forms of slapping, shoving, and so on. One force that keeps IPA invisible is that the survivors themselves are often reluctant to define themselves as victims, and might hide, deny, and or/ minimize their partners’ abuse and their own injuries resulting from this abuse, particularly during the early stages of the IPA perpetration. These “unacknowledged victims” are
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.
However, societal frameworks continue to dictate social norms and treatment modalities. According to Baker, Buick, Kim, Moniz, and Nava (2013), by including same-sex intimate partner violence in the examination of intimate partner violence as an unabridged topic, there can be an adulterated and gendered-free enquiry. This allows conceptualization that takes into account other environmental factors that are not driven by heteronormative bias. The Ecological Approach addresses the complexity of intimate partner violence and considers various layers and intricate diminuendos that should be considered (Baker, Buick, Kim, Moniz, & Nava, 2013). Treatment providers are in theory able to conceptualize women as violent beings and victims can recognize their own victimization although it does not adhere to the expectations of society.
Intimate partner violence is not limited to just sexual and physical abuse. Examples of psychological violence is
Nowadays domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation, income, gender, or ethnicity. Currently 3 million victims of physical assaults in the USA are men (Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts, 2015). One in four women will be exposed to domestic violence during her lifetime (Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts, 2015). Women between 20 years old to 24 years old are more likely to experience domestic violence (Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts, 2015). Around 4 million women experience rape and physical assaults by their partners (Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts, 2015).
To better understand the cause of intimate violence will help to come up will help come up with a better solution on solving this problem. There are various theories that have come up to explain the main causes of domestic violence, some include; learned helplessness theory, Intergenerational Transmission Theory, Social–Psychological Model and the feminist theory. All of these theories have tried to illustrate the causes of domestic violence. In this paper, I will target my writing on the feminist theory where it emphasizes power and gender inequalities in relationships. The theory focuses on how societal messages that makes it alright for a male to use aggression and violence, and the gender roles that dictate how women and men should act in their relationships
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an immediate public health matter that has recently been redefined to include “physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive tactics) by a current or former intimate partner” (Breiding, Basile, Smith, Black, & Mahendra, 2015). In this updated government document, the definition of an intimate partner is also reconsidered due to the need to address the intimate relationships of teens and young adults. Therefore, this updated definition allows inclusion of “spouses (married spouses, common-law spouses, civil union spouses and domestic partners), boyfriends/ girlfriends, dating partners and ongoing sexual partners”, which may include individuals that are adolescents

Domestic Violence has become an issue that has lacked the attention of the public that needs fixing. Both of the articles demonstrate the obstacles that are presented in domestic violence cases.

Relationship abuse is a pattern of coercive and abusive behaviors. Most of the time when abuse goes on during a relationship, it is kept a secret because the victim is afraid of telling. The behaviors that go on are to maintain total control over a spouse or an intimate partner. Relationship is a choice or in other words it’s a learned behavior. Most abusers believe that they can do what they want and get away with it.
