Roaming around the streets of Los Angeles and later moving to Pomona he met quite a large amount of people. Though they were not the best of acquaintances, Francisco learned to live with, gangsters. Within his high school years everything was a hustle, family, education, work, he though he couldn’t handle the pressure

This article gives a quick background on how women abuse was not a huge concern to many people, including those on the government board. This can be seen as an example to how much life has improved, how much women have come to achieve. This can also be seen as a way to demonstrate that women, even after the effort, have not stopped being abused by men. Furthermore, this article includes data, from research, that domestic abuse is hidden from the public, but when it is seen, nothing is done.

    Out of all the topics discussed and read so far in this course, I connect more with the domestic violence topic. Before taking the course I did not understand why someone, specifically a woman would want to stay with a physically abusive or mentally abusive partner. After reading Domestic Violence: Intersectionality and Culturally Competent edited Lettie L. Lockhart and Fran S. Danis I was enlightened and slightly informed. Once we went into depth in class I had a greater understanding and became very informed on the topic. I found out that there are several reasons why women choose or have no other choice but to stay.…

    Ellen Pence is best known for her advocacy and batterer programming with the Duluth program on behalf of women’s experience with abuse (Gondolf, 2010). Ellen’s activism all started with a generic community organizing training that opened all the possibilities that contributed to social change (Dasgupta, 2010). From there, Ellen began to work in anti-domestic violence and that’s where she and her colleagues developed the Duluth model (Dasgupta, 2010). The basis of Ellen’s advocacy in anti-domestic violence was to increase the awareness of gender oppression (Gondolf, 2010). In the culture of domestic violence, gender oppression has been nearly taken over by the notion of victimization.…

    Although Intimate partner violence has been around for the longest time ever, it has recently been recognized as a social issue (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014, p. 110). The main issue with the Criminal Justice System and Intimate partner violence relies on the fact that the issue was always viewed as a private matter until lately (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014, p. 110), which may be the reason for so many flaws in the Criminal Justice System when it comes to Intimate partner violence. Police can improve their response by treating the situation as a serious criminal matter. Sometimes officers do not think the situation is a bad as it is, which often result in life threatening situations. Police Departments should also offer training on intimate partner abuse for officers so they will be able to identify red flags, and also know how to properly deal with a situation pertaining to intimate partner abuse.…

    Men are often expected to be assertive and dominant, while women are often portrayed as vulnerable and emotional. These gender roles suggest that men are more likely than women to turn to aggression during times of anger, which has correlation to abuse against their female partners (Campbell and Muncer 286). As a result of domestic violence, women often suffer from mental and health problems such as chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, eating disorders, diabetes, asthma, and if the abuse is severe enough, even death (Tremer). Although there are already certain programs and laws that exist to help women who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse such as the Violence Against Women Act, women’s rights activists work to change traditional gender roles, educate women on how to prevent or cope with abuse, and provide support groups for individuals and families that have been victimized by abuse (Zimmerman, et al.…

    While research on resolving domestic violence issues is limited in the United States, it is even more so in Peru. Scholars who look into Peruvian culture and domestic violence – or even that of Latin America in general – seem to focus more on the gender inequality of the region or the specific characteristics that are associated with victims of abuse (Choup 2016; Flake 2006). Some research has been done on preventive domestic violence programs, such as the…

These two laws are The Violence Against Women Act and The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (“Violence Against Women” 1).
