Paper Summary:

This paper questions when, why and how female victims of domestic abuse elect whether or not to leave an abusive relationship. The writer presents a three-stage cycle of a domestic-violent relationship and examines research in the field of why women choose to remain in such a situation. It examines financial concerns, fear of losing independence, fear of breaking up families and fears for their general safety.

From the Paper:

"A battered woman is faced with repeated acts of violence by her intimate partner (IP), who is can be a husband, boyfriend, or former spouse (Help for the. . ., 2000). Such abuse may be physical, sexual, and/or psychological, and can lead to serious physical or psychological damage and, in some instance, even to death. Over one-third of all female murder victims are killed by their male partners, a statistic indicative of the degree to which domestic violence has become commonplace in American society (Help for the. . ., 2000).
