Abstract
This paper discusses the characteristics of partner violence and some of the different factors that can lead to partner violence. It also looks at the characteristics of cultures where partner violence is extremely low. The paper also briefly discusses how addiction and depression can cause partner violence, and why other stressors can lead to violence, as well as why is there not more support and treatment for these violent partners.
From the Paper
"There are several characteristics of partner violence, and several different factors can lead to partner violence. Usually (but not always), women are the victims of partner violence, and women between the ages of 16 and 24 are the largest age group involved in partner violence. Only about half the violence is reported to police, and black women are more prone to report violence. Nearly half the abused women have children less than twelve years of age. When the violence results in murder, three out of four of the victims are women, and about half of partner violence victims report a physical injury (Rennison and Welchans, 2000, p. 1). In addition, one or more of the partners may suffer from addiction of some kind, and one or both partners could have suffered abuse as a child. The abuser may also suffer from depression."

"This proposal defines the project plans for creating a comprehensive partner relationship management (PRM) system for managing the relationships of both channel partners and large commercial accounts for a landscaping services and manufacturing organization. For purposes of this example, Toro Manufacturing Company, which relies on professional services and products for 67% of its revenue and 31% from residential, is heavily dependent on its channel partners and direct commercial accounts for the majority of its revenue (El Toro, 2007).

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Strategies require more than retaining competent people. They require specific people with specific talents for specific tasks. Concentration strategies are a good example of how HR can affect change. They are an integral part in retaining employees by way if training to keep skills sharp and compensation to give those with skills the proper income for their work. Another strategy that can impact change in a positive direction is the external growth strategy during mergers and acquisitions. HR is a critical facet during a merger as issues of conflict usually arise. HR must train staff in conflict resolution due to the merging cultures. In doing so, morale and production can be impacted if the proper training is conducted. Additionally, rightsizing to cut costs and remain competitive in the market is another strategy whereby HR is important and can positively affect the company in meeting its goals. HR can assess the positions and the job functions to see what positions can merge. Upon doing so, they then can look objectively at the employees who aren't as valued to determine the cuts needed to achieve the desired results."
