    Extractions: October is "Domestic Violence" month to raise awareness about the high level of violence prevalent in our family system today. What I have to say is not meant to deny the responsibility men have in domestic violence, nor to suggest reducing any funding of women's programs. It is meant to trigger you into action and not wait until October to take responsibility for your part of this picture and do something about it. Part of domestic violence involves battered husbands? Not the 75% who batter or jointly batter, but the 25% who never hit? Many say these men don't exist or don't need help. This is to deny the stories men have shared with me about being battered and women have shared about their own unprovoked violence against their significant other. It also denies much research to the contrary, starting with the 1975 National Family Violence Survey, and substantiated by at least ten additional investigations, that husband abuse, not wife abuse, is the most underreported form of family violence, and it's the area that's on the rise. Why do we want to adamantly deny that this situation exists? If we aren't focused on controlling and preventing all domestic violence, somewhere underneath is the nagging question: aren't we really, then, encouraging and maintaining it by our inaction?

    Extractions: Nearly 2 in 3 female victims of violence were related to or knew their attacker. (Ronet Bachman Ph.D., U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Violence Against Women: A National Crime Victimization Survey Report," January 1994, p. iii) Over two-thirds of violent victimizations against women were committed by someone known to them: 31% of female victims reported that the offender was a stranger. Approximately 28% were intimates such as husbands or boyfriends, 35% were acquaintances, and the remaining 5% were other relatives. (In contrast, victimizations by intimates and other relatives accounted for only 5% of all violent victimizations against men. Men were significantly more likely to have been victimized by acquaintances (50%) or strangers (44%) than by intimates or other relatives.) (Ronet Bachman Ph.D., U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Violence Against Women: A National Crime Victimization Survey Report," January 1994, p. 1) Almost 6 times as many women victimized by intimates (18%) as those victimized by strangers (3%) did not report their violent victimization to police because they feared reprisal from the offender.

    Extractions: Domestic or family violence is one of the leading causes of female injuries in almost every country in the world and it accounts in some countries for the largest percentage of hospital visits by women. It primarily affects women and operates to diminish women's autonomy and sense of self-worth. Domestic violence usually involves the infliction of bodily injury, accompanied by verbal threats and harassment, emotional abuse or the destruction of property as means of coercion, control, revenge or punishment, on a person with whom the abuser is involved in an intimate relationship. The assailant frequently blames the attacks on the victim and her behavior. He may also use the attacks to control his partner's actions. A battered woman may become isolated with little community or family support and be afraid to leave her home. She may also begin to believe that her inability to avoid abuse in an intimate relationship demonstrates that she is a failure and deserves or is powerless to escape the abuse. Human Rights Watch's investigations found, unfortunately, that law enforcement officials frequently reinforce the batterer's attempts to demean and control his victim.

Although mandatory reporting laws have been the primary means for protecting abused and neglected children, many States now provide additional protection for children in their domestic violence laws. Domestic violence can be defined generally as "a pattern of assaultive and/or coercive behaviors, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as economic coercion, that adults use against their intimate partners to gain power and control in that relationship."

    Extractions: (SAN FRANCISCO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today released a report revealing that the criminal justice system is failing to enforce California's domestic violence laws. Joined by statewide leaders, Lockyer called for implementation of 5 key recommendations to reduce domestic abuse and challenged local law enforcement and judicial officers to increase and improve their efforts to stop the cycle of family violence. "The laws already on the books should be holding batterers accountable for their violent behavior, but the criminal justice system often fails to enforce them," Lockyer said. "System fatigue is not an excuse for domestic abuse. We are going to shift a culture of complacency into a culture of compliance."

    Extractions: (OAKLAND) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today convened in Oakland the second regional hearing of a statewide task force studying the effectiveness of how local criminal justice agencies respond to and deal with domestic violence issues. The 26-member task force is holding public hearings throughout the state to study local policies and practices, identify those that work well and determine which ones may harm or threaten the safety of domestic violence victims. "California leads the nation in taking steps to stop the cycle of domestic violence, yet domestic violence continues to be an epidemic," Lockyer said. "These regional hearings are providing valuable information on what is happening at the local level, and what we can do to standardize and strengthen local practices and programs to protect families from violence in the home." The task force is focusing on four issues: How domestic violence restraining orders are obtained and enforced; how law enforcement agencies respond to mandated reports of domestic violence by health care practitioners; how courts, probation and batterer intervention programs hold batterers accountable; and how prosecutors' offices handle misdemeanor domestic violence cases.

    Extractions: WASHINGTON. Attorney General Tom Miller and the National Association of Attorneys General today declared a commitment to a "zero tolerance policy on violence against women." The Association adopted a resolution today advocating a strong new package of steps targeting domestic abuse in Iowa and across the nation. The Attorneys General called for recognizing "stay-away" protective orders across state lines, enhancing penalties for persons who batter partners in front of children, and victim-counselor confidentiality. "Ninety-four Iowans have been killed in domestic abuse murders since January 1, 1990, including ten children," Miller said. "And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We know of thousands more Iowans who are injured or terrorized every year, and countless more cases go completely unreported. It's a major problem and we have to keep up the pressure to solve it." The resolution adopted at the spring meeting in Washington of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) called for action at the state and national level: Full funding of the federal Violence Against Women Act, which created grants for local law enforcement efforts and barred batterers under protection orders from crossing state lines to pursue partners.

    Extractions: Battering: Misconceptions and Facts General Information About Relationship Violence Menu Relationship Violence Menu Issues Related to Sexual Assault Menu The main purpose of abuse is to maintain power and control (Ganley, 1996). Five forms of relationship violence exist; physical, emotional, economic, psychological, and sexual. In physical abuse, a person attempts to inflict harm on another. This includes but is not limited to pushing, shoving, slapping, punching, hitting with a blunt object, stabbing or shooting. In economic abuse, the perpetrator puts the victim in a financially dependent position (Chez, 1994). The abuser decides how the money will be spent. This occurs several ways and across all economic classes. Some examples of maintaining financial control are, not allowing the victim to work. Another is making the victim keep detailed records of every penny spent. A third way is for the abuser to refuse to go to work. Though instillation of fear, psychological abuse is the attempt ensure the victim only has the abuser to rely on. Threats of violence may be directed at the victim or may include suicide threats. Intimidation may be attacks on property, a loved one or pets. They may also be stalking, or screaming at the victims face. The abuser gains control through isolation and misinformation. It can be subtle or blatant. Subtle includes comments like wanting to be with the victim all the time because they love them so much. Misinformation tactics are lies perpetrators use to distort the victims sense of reality such as lies about legal rights (Ganley, 1996).
