Domestic violence against women in rural areas of Saharanpur: A population-based study on prevalence and risk factors

ABSTRACT Background: Domestic violence (DV) against women is a global problem and is present in every country. It is a matter of serious concern in most communities and cultures and has consequences on women’s mental, physical, reproductive, and sexual health. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and pattern of DV among married women. Materials and Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 reproductive age group females in the rural area of district Saharanpur for a period of six months using multistage random sampling. Results: The prevalence of DV was found to be 21%. The most common type of DV was physical violence (18%) followed by psychological violence (12.8%), financial violence (5.5%), and sexual violence (2.3%). The major perpetrators of DV were the husbands in 79% of the cases. Regression analysis depicted a significant association between age, education of husband, husband’s addiction, and depression of study participants with events of DV. Multivariate analysis shows only the addictions of husbands and the depression status of study participants to be significantly associated with DV. Conclusion: The prevalence of DV was 21% which is still high and appropriate measures should be taken to strengthen the laws for women and to empower them.

The Effect of Self Compassion on Forgiveness in Wives Who Experience Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is rampant among married couples. Various types of domestic violence can have psychological impacts such as anxiety, fear, and depression. Forgiveness is one of the methods for victims of violence to prevent psychological disorders. Self-compassion provides kindness and helps with emotion regulation so that it helps the forgiveness process. The method used is quantitative with regression analysis to determine the effect of self-compassion on forgiveness in wives who experience domestic violence. The sample of this study was wives who were victims of domestic violence as many as 90 women. Forgiveness is measured by The Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivation Inventory (TRIM-18) scale (McCullough, 2003) and self-compassion is measured by The Self Compassion Scale (SCS) scale (Neff, 2003). Both scales have gone through validity and reliability tests. The results showed that there was no effect of self-compassion on forgiveness in wives who experienced domestic violence.

The Impact of Household Debt on Domestic Violence (DV) Against Children in Indonesia

Financial difficulties within a household could contribute to cases of domestic violence (DV). This study investigates the correlation between household debt and occurrences of domestic violence towards children in Indonesia. The study employs a quantitative methodology, notably utilising multinomial logistic regression analysis. Evidence suggests that households with several forms of debt are more prone to exhibiting both psychological and physical domestic violence against children, in contrast to households without domestic violence. This association maintains its significance even after taking into account control variables, such as the age of the spouse, the level of education of the head of home, the spouse's level of education, the size of the household, the perception of domestic violence, the schooling status of the children, and the age of the children are statistically associated with psychological, physical, and both types of domestic violence against children. Policymakers should assess household loan repayment capacity to limit lending to those at risk of financial struggle, while the government should implement parental education programs to raise awareness of child abuse and encourage non-violent parenting techniques.

Reasons and types of domestic violence against married women: a community based cross sectional study in urban slums of Pune, India

Background: Worldwide, domestic violence against females is common across religion, culture, socio economic class and ethnicity. Objective was to assess reasons and types of domestic violence against married women in urban slums of Pune. Methods: A community based cross sectional study was undertaken amongst 405 married women above 18 years of age. Chi square test was used to find an association between the different demographic variables with respect to domestic violence.

Investigating the Extent and Social-Demographic Determinants of Domestic Violence Against Women

Background: Domestic violence against women is one of the most important issues in the field of women's problems. Identification of the demographic and social characteristics of risk and protective factors can be effective in managing this problem. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the demographic and social variables that affect the rate of different types of domestic violence against women. Methods: The present study was done using a quantitative method and survey technique. In so doing, 379 married women of reproductive age in Sadra City were surveyed. This survey used the multi-stage cluster sampling method and standard questionnaire. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the collected data. Results: Most respondents (53.6%) were between 30 and 39 years old, and the age of the majority of their wives (48%) was in the same age range. Economic violence was significantly lower among the upper-middle class (P = 0.010), middle class (P = 0.000), and lower middle class (P = 0.002) compared to the lower class. This type of violence is less common among Arabs (P = 0.001) and more prevalent among Turks (P = 0.034) than among Persian speakers. Women whose husbands were illiterate (P = 0.005), had only completed middle school (P = 0.002) or held a diploma (P = 0.040) experienced more psychological violence compared to women whose husbands had a university education. Psychological violence is more prevalent among lower-class women compared to women from the middle class (P = 0.002), upper-middle class (P = 0.020), and lower-middle class (P = 0.003). Physical violence is more common among Persian women compared to Arab women (P = 0.003) but less common compared to Turkish women (P = 0.019). Sexual violence is less common among Persian women compared to Arab women (P = 0.003). Conclusions: This study highlighted the prevalence of various forms of domestic violence.

Prevalence and associated factors of domestic violence among women attending primary healthcare centres in Kuwait: A cross-sectional study.

Domestic violence (DV) against women is a global problem. Its prevalence varies from region to region. Almost one-third of women are victims of DV worldwide. Various forms of violence against women have been identified, including physical, sexual, psychological, economic violence, and husband-controlling behaviour. The study was designed to estimate the prevalence of different types of DV among women attending primary healthcare (PHC) centres in Kuwait. We conducted a multicentre crosssectional study among married or previously married women aged 18 to 65 years, attending the selected PHC centres over 29 months (February 2017 to June 2019). The inclusion criteria were married or previously married women aged 18-65 years, while certain groups such as never-married females, severely ill individuals, and those refusing to participate were excluded. 337 A comprehensive questionnaire covering the general characteristics of the participating women, exposure to different types of domestic violence, family characteristics, and husband characteristics. 337 women (56.1%) out of 601 were exposed to one or more types of DV. By type of violence, 255 women (42.4%) were exposed to psychological violence, 211 (35.1%) were exposed to physical violence, 173 (28.8%) were exposed to sexual violence, and 249 (41.4%) were exposed to economic violence. Having controlling behaviours was a significant predictor of exposure to all types of DV (P-value < 0.001). DV is a hidden problem that is still under-reported in Kuwait. We conclude that health professionals in different healthcare settings in Kuwait should be encouraged to document DV cases and conduct comprehensive surveys to disclose the nature and extent of the problem.

The results of this study indicate that there are various factors thatstimulate wives to commit domestic violence against their husbands, namely: a) financial factors; b) an affairfactor; c) a communication factor; and d) factor wife’s background.The existence of this research is to reveal that acts of domestic violence do not look at gender, so anyonecan have the potential to become a perpetrator or victim of domestic violence.

Normative Beliefs about Adolescent-to-Parent Violence: The Spanish Adaptations of the Beliefs about Child-to-Parent Abuse Questionnaire and the Abusive Behavior by Children-Indices.

Ascertaining the true prevalence of adolescent-to-parent violence (APV) is challenging because the measurement of APV in research is complex. There is no consensus on which behaviors constitute APV or how frequently they need to occur to be considered abusive. This study aimed to explore the normative beliefs about APV related to the perpetrator's gender in a sample of Spanish parents, by developing Spanish adaptations of the BACPAQ and the ABC-I. The participants were 329 Spanish parents aged 19 to 81, and 77% were mothers. They answered the Spanish adaptation of the BACPAQ online after being contacted by university students using the snowball sampling technique. Results show that sons were judged more harshly than daughters; although, differences were statistically significant only for a few psychologically abusive behaviors. There was agreement with the original study on the abusive nature of most behaviors, especially regarding physical violence. Cultural differences were reflected in verbal, psychological, and economic violence, and Spanish parents used more stringent thresholds than Australians. Future research should tackle the difficulty of carrying out studies on APV using a single tool able to reflect normative beliefs about this type of domestic violence in different cultures.

Factors Influencing Arrest Decision-Making in Domestic Violence Cases in Zambia

Domestic violence is among the most prevalent forms of violence globally. It includes physical violence, emotional violence, sexual violence and economic violence. Several studies focusing on arrest decisions are conducted in the West; unfortunately, there is a dearth of studies focusing on domestic violence in Zambia especially on factors that influence arrest decision-making. This study was conceived to examine whether legal and extra-legal factors have an influence on the Zambia police service officers’ decision-making in domestic violence cases reported to them. Data consisting of 1258 cases of domestic violence from 2017-2019 were collected from five urban police stations in Lusaka city. In this study, we used univariate, bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis to examine police officers’ decision-making in domestic violence cases. Descriptive results show that arrest rates are high in physical violence (13.20%), economic violence (9.46%), sexual violence (5.41%) and emotional violence (3.18%). Whilst the age of the victim, perpetrator ethnicity and the gender of police officers were found to be non-significant, strong predictors of arrest decision-making in a logistic analysis were found to be victim tribe, residential area, perpetrator age and type of domestic violence. Policy strategies and efforts should be channelled towards advocacy and awareness programmes across the communities and should not neglect the participation of victim support unit (VSU) police officers. Therefore, the Victim support unit should be appropriately funded to enhance awareness campaigns and educational programmes. Additionally, the police command should find ways of navigating around victims’ preferences in arrest decisions whilst respecting and upholding human rights and ethical standards.

Economic violence as a way of committing domestic violence: differentiation of administrative offense from crime

The article is considered economic violence as a type of domestic violence, for which administrative and criminal liability is provided. The criterion of delimitation of economic violence as a way of committing domestic violence of Art. 173-2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is defined. It is stated that administrative and criminal liability arises in the case of domestic violence in three ways: physical, psychological or economic.

Factors Associated with Coping Behaviors of Abused Women: Findings from the 2016 Domestic Violence Survey.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important public health problem. In Korea, limited studies have systematically investigated the coping strategies used by female IPV victims. Purpose: We identified the factors associated with abused women’s coping behaviors in South Korea. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study comprises secondary data analysis using the 2016 Domestic Violence Survey; we examined women who experienced domestic violence (DV) in the last year: September to December 2016 (n = 309). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted using an ecological model. Results: Over 50% responded they “did nothing”, while others “escaped the scene of violence or ran outside” and “became reciprocally violent” as coping behaviors sequentially. Compared to the women who “did nothing”, women who experienced feelings of intimidation or fear due to DV, were sexually abused, and suffered physical injury were 5.44, 3.22, and 3.02 times, respectively, more likely to escape from the scene than those who did not. Most showed passive coping behaviors. Relationship level factors, such as type of DV and physical injury, were significantly associated with the type of coping behavior. Conclusions: Our findings emphasize that multi-level comprehensive health programs are required, especially for women coping passively, to prevent and respond to DV.

Context Matters: Assessing the Association Between Area Deprivation and the Severity of Injury and Types of Domestic Violence Victimization Among Women.

To analyze the association between social determinants of health (SDOH), as measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and the severity of injury and types of domestic violence (DV) victimization among women (≥18years of age) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Neighborhood ADI data from the American Community Survey (2014-2018) were merged with Milwaukee Police Department DV data (2013-2017). ADI included multiple SDOH domains (education, employment, income/poverty, and housing quality). Types of DV were classified using an adaptation of the FBI-Uniform Crime Reporting-Hierarchy Rule, including Crimes Against Persons (homicide/negligent manslaughter, sexual assault/rape, and aggravated battery/assault). Chi-square, Anova tests, and logistic regression analyses were performed using Stata v.14.2; p-values ≤ .05 were considered statistically significant. Except for aggravated battery/assault (OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.001-1.010), there was no statistically significant relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and DV victimization in 21,095 DV incidents between 2013 and 2017. Adjusted model results indicate that with each increase in neighborhood disadvantage (by ADI), there was a 1.003 increase in the likelihood for aggravated battery/assault (OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.001-1.005). Severity of DV injury was not significantly associated with ADI (OR: 1.002, 95% CI: 0.999-1.004). However, non-Hispanic Black women were 1.3 times more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to be victims of aggravated battery/assault (OR: 1.321, 95% CI: 1.189-1.469). Hispanic women were more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to sustain a more severe injury (OR: 0.841, 95% CI: 0.732-0.970]). The likelihood of DV-aggravated battery/assault increased with neighborhood deprivation, and significant associations (and highly lopsided prevalence) were found in types of DV victimization by race/ethnicity, with non-Hispanic Black women experiencing higher prevalence than others. This study adds to the body of knowledge by looking at how macro-level neighborhood-SDOH characteristics influence women's exposure to various forms of DV victimization and demonstrated the feasibility of linking law enforcement DV data to SDOH metrics, providing context for law enforcement DV victimizations.

ECONOMIC DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: WAYS OF PREVENTION

The article examines the work of scientists in the field of economic violence as a form of domestic violence, reveals the peculiarities of legal regulation, and analyzes court decisions in the relevant direction. It was emphasized that the prevention and overcoming of economic domestic violence is one of the priority problems for many countries of the world. The end of the 20th – the beginning of the 21st century were marked by intensive development and implementation, further gradual improvement of mechanisms for preventing and countering domestic violence. A review of doctrinal sources from the indicated direction shows that economic violence has not received adequate attention at the national level, but foreign authors much more often turn to the solution of this problem. The works of foreign scientists are given and considered. Attention is focused on legal regulation in the sphere of prevention of economic violence. It was emphasized that the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention and Combating Domestic Violence” provided wider opportunities for overcoming various types of domestic violence, including economic. However, as evidenced by judicial practice, many decisions on this issue do not receive a positive solution, since most often pre-qualified actions by the police as economic violence do not meet the established criteria according to the current legislation. Special attention is focused on the need to ensure professional development of police officers regarding the preparation of case materials in the area under consideration. It was determined that a promising direction for researchers and practitioners is the development of criteria and algorithms for the correct qualification by law enforcement agencies of economic violence in the family, as well as the systematic distribution and familiarization of citizens with information about what should be considered economic violence and how not to become a victim of domestic violence economic violence. It is important for domestic researchers to study the causes of the emergence and overcoming of economic violence in the systemic relationship with various social factors, in particular, historical, political, socio-cultural, etc.

#DomesticViolence During the COVID-19 Global Pandemic: An Analysis of Public Commentary via Twitter.

The current study sought to characterize commentary regarding intimate partner violence during the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic via the Twitter hashtags #DomesticAbuse and #DomesticViolence. A sample of 481 original, English-language tweets containing the hashtag #DomesticAbuse or #DomesticViolence posted across five consecutive weekdays from March 22 to March 27, 2020—during which many places were enacting lockdown mandates—was examined using thematic content analyses. Overall, Twitter users commented on potential increased rates of IPV, while adding details about abuse tactics that could be employed by perpetrators during the pandemic. Additionally, Twitter users disclosed personal experiences of IPV victimization. Four themes were identified, including (1) type of domestic violence (i.e. whether the violence was COVID-specific or general domestic violence), (2) commentary about IPV (i.e. general reflections, decentralizing and centralizing survivorhood), (3) perpetrator tactic (i.e. abuse tactic used by the perpetrator), and (4) institutions responsible (i.e. institutions responsible for providing services to survivors). Overall, the commentary on Twitter reflected an effort to raise awareness and share informational aid for potential victims/survivors of IPV. Data highlight the potential of social media networks in conveniently facilitating the sharing and spreading of useful resources to other users. Future research should examine whether resources shared via Twitter reach individuals who need them and empower individuals to garner support.
