Methodology
In this study the major concepts are domestic violence and alcohol. Domestic violence is broke n down in to different types such as: physical abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, mental abuse, and sexual abuse. Alcohol can also be broken down into different types including: beer, wine, and liquor. Also violence patterns are broken down into: single victimization, repeat victimization, and co-occurring victimization.
Variables: X- Alcohol Consumption Y- Domestic violence and X- Victim Characteristics (sex, age, race, education level, etc.) Y- Amount of abuse
To gather data for this study I would use social surveys and case studies. The sample size will be 40 women and men (20 of each sex) ranging from ages 18-35 years. I will use disproportionate stratified random sampling. I will go to a lot of different women and men battered shelters and randomly select different people to interview. I plan on creating a questionnaire, asking the interviewee multiple questions such as: their age, race, sex, level of education. Also I would ask questions about their alcohol consumption and its relationship to domestic violence. This study would probably last about two months long to gather the most data
