Family Violence

In this paper the writer acts as a hypothetical budget director with complete control over a family and social welfare budget that two important groups organizations representing the needs of battered women and organizations trying to treat abusive men would like to use for their own perfectly understandable and laudable purposes.

From the Paper:

"It is often difficult to feel much sympathy for men who abuse women. However, while sympathy may be impossible in some instances, failing to treat them as human beings with serious problems may prove to be as bad - or almost as bad - as over-indulgence."
