Introduction
In spite of all attempts made to implement equality of gender in society, American provinces are reportedly having strong and widely spread cases of domestic violence (Ursula, 2011). In fact, there are multiple dimensions through which, domestic violence has become one of the most strongly rooted social evil across the nation. Especially in the context of women and children, the traumatic state becomes severe to manage, when cases of domestic violence appear before psychological and healthcare professionals (Maniccia & Leone, 2019). Women lose their confidence to build interpersonal relationships, when they go through intimate partner based domestic violence. Various theoretical frameworks have been applied to understand the major causes of this issue and to address domestic violence, ‘’emotional and physical wellbeing’ based support as well as preventive legal measures are the two frameworks that have established some resolutions.
Statistical Analysis of the Issue
At first, it is significant to note here that domestic violence appears to have as many dimensions as possible; it can be child abuse, intimate partner based or elderly abuse in families. Families, in recent years, have touched the mark of ten million that have been reported to go through some sort of domestic violence in a year (Huecker & Smock, 2019). “’ Financial hardship and unemployment are contributors to domestic violence. An economic downturn is associated with increased calls to the National Domestic Violence Hotline” (Huecker & Smock, 2019). Acknowledged as a crime under zero tolerance, domestic violence is still growing to an alarming stage. In fact, to define the issue, domestic violence or spousal abuse is more like physical or mental oppression of the partner with which, the individual is having intimate or romantic relationship. Considering the fact of romanticism and intimation, the state of physical and mental abuse becomes complex to resolve by law (Huecker & Smock, 2019). The stats of this issue in United States also call for a quick action which would be done in duo respect with law and alleviation of social values (Huecker & Smock, 2019).
In terms of statistical data, more than three million referrals are received by the child protective authorities in America (Huecker & Smock, 2019). They are mainly responsible for carrying out parental responsibilities to abandoned children that have gone through any kind of domestic violence (Huecker & Smock, 2019). As per the data reports of CDC, one out of four women and one out of seven man suffers some kind of intimate partner based violence during their lifetime. One out of three women and one out of four men go through sexual violence during their lifetime as well as there are five million cases of domestic violence that occur every year to the women above eighteen years (Huecker & Smock, 2019). The records show that the questions of domestic violence have now reached to the alarming stage and they must be addressed in the light of available social theories and legal frameworks as well.
