A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE FOR VICTIMS:

 

“DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE”

 

OVERVIEW

... Domestic violence affects all types of people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, or religion. Many people have experienced domestic violence. It is estimated that 25% of women and 8% of men in the United States have been physically and/or sexually abused by an intimate partner at some point in their adult lives.

....Healthy relationships involve love, care, respect, trust, sharing and consideration for the other person. Since problems and disagreements arise in all relationships, thus conflict of interest may present itself in the relationship, these conflicts need to be resolved. Couples in this situation may experience strong feelings, get stressed, upset and angry. Anger and arguments are normal parts of relationships and many relationship counselors suggests that best way to resolve a relationship problem or conflict is to talk it out until an agreement is reached. There are strategies, techniques and marital conflict resolution skills that find ways to address negative feelings. What is unhealthy and wrong is when someone gets physically hurt in the process. Releasing negative feelings when arguing to the point of being out of control, can reach a crisis level, and can escalate into violence leading to threats, emotional abuse or hurting physically the other person.

...Most couples and marital relationships have conflicts in their relationship and at times express strong feelings during stressful and difficult times. Learning how to handle these situations and problems is key to a successful relationship.
