Domestic Violence: Breaking the Cycle

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that the cycle of domestic violence is extremely difficult to break because of its cyclic nature, the inability on the part of responsible parties to face the responsibility, and a lack of adequate knowledge surrounding the issue.

From the Paper:

"Domestic violence is perpetrated in at least three ways (Russo, Koss and Goodman 124). These include physical, sexual and psychological abuse. This is why, in many cases, the both victim and perpetrator are often unaware that what is going on is indeed abuse. Thus, Russo Koss and Goodman (123) refer to domestic violence as "One of the most widespread, legitimized, invisible, and neglected forms of violence against women around the world". It is often because of social paradigms that even physical abuse is being denied by the victim because of her partner's "marital rights"."
