Weapons tied to repeat domestic abuse
This article is about domestic abuse and 83 percent of the women are more likely to experience repeat abuse by their male partners if a weapon is used in the initial abuse incident ( Science Daily, 2014). Studies shown from Michigan University that police reported domestic abuse and there is nearly 6,000 couples in Seattle during two-year period. Therefore, one in four women in the United States experience domestic violence at least once in their life lifetime. However, there was a previous study about domestic abuse, and researchers found out that domestic abuse is more common in poor urban neighborhoods,and researchers expected to find that the repeat of violence could be predicted by the environment. ( Science Daily, 2014). Some men were found to use a knife, a gun, or even vehicle. As a result 72 percent of women are likely to call police for abuse. But some women don't call police and deal with the abuse. This article is relevant to the text book. In the book it explain what are the causes and effects of the intimate partner abuse? Intimate partner abuse as physical acts or other behavior intended to intimidate or harm an intimate partner ( Lifespan,p 344). Also, the book mentioned when intimate partners get into a physical altercation, men and women are about equally likely to push, slap, or kick their partners. Therefore, the records show that, throughout the world, women are more like than men to be injured during physical confrontations between partners (Mchugh, 2005).
