#1 Radio Review: History of Domestic Violence
Am giving a “B” to this program. I like it because it discusses a common big problem facing the Country “Gun Violence.” The program called awareness to the correlation between domestic violence and mass shooting and the important of keeping guns away from abusers. I agree with that, of course, it has always been illegal for domestic abusers to possess guns, but the point is that, they could still buy guns from private sellers, which makes it more complicated. I think it is more necessary to thither the background check. Nevertheless, the program did great by having experts from different field share their thoughts and also having evidences from people who had been in a domestic violence scene.

    Although Intimate partner violence has been around for the longest time ever, it has recently been recognized as a social issue (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014, p. 110). The main issue with the Criminal Justice System and Intimate partner violence relies on the fact that the issue was always viewed as a private matter until lately (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014, p. 110), which may be the reason for so many flaws in the Criminal Justice System when it comes to Intimate partner violence. Police can improve their response by treating the situation as a serious criminal matter. Sometimes officers do not think the situation is a bad as it is, which often result in life threatening situations. Police Departments should also offer training on intimate partner abuse for officers so they will be able to identify red flags, and also know how to properly deal with a situation pertaining to intimate partner abuse.…

    Violence, Threat of Serious Violence and the Battered Woman Syndrome Women usually make a plea of provocation when they kill their abuser, i.e. their partner or husband due to a `slow burn’ reaction to continuous domestic abuse. However, as pointed out by Susan Edwards the requirement of immediate outrage automatically excludes battered women. This is because women, as they can be said to be weaker than men, tend to kill their abuser when he is intoxicated, asleep and unable to defend himself. Consequently, when women kill in such circumstances they tend to not qualify to make a plea of provocation.…

No report means no work, no hassle, no record, no domestic violence, no investigation, no court dates, no problem. The officer may feel as though he is protecting his friend’s name or family name. Another error is failure to get an adequate victim statement.…
