Violence Against Women
Social Welfare Congressional Legislation Violence against Women Act Bill # S.47

Problem Examination: The reason why this Bill/policy is essential? Why must the Mayor Pay attention?

The reason why the mayor should care is because whilst incredible development continues to be made since the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) had been initially passed; domestic abuse, sexual attacks, as well as harassment are nonetheless substantial issues facing women, family members, as well as neighborhoods. Domestic abuse leads to three deaths each day to women, as well as one out of four women have encountered serious abuse by a close companion. One out of five women as well as One out of Seventy one males happen to be raped in their lives. The brand new VAWA bill finalized into law from President Barack Obama will keep efficient programs; help to make focused expansions to deal with the requirements of specifically vulnerable communities,…...

Indeed, this explains why it is necessary to achieve a more open discourse on the implications of violence with specific and tangible reference to women and how they are impacted. Proper psychological profiling of those with aggressive tendencies toward women or irrational behaviors relating to women should be factored into the type of sentencing and post sentence attention that individuals are given. ithout receiving proper attention from legal, penal or social service agencies designed to address the problems of criminal violence, individuals like Stirpe are unlikely to be deterred from their aggressive proclivities.

To the point, violence against woman has been subject to a significantly raised degree of popular and legal scrutiny given its social pravelance and yet it remains unclear how the legal system can address such individuals as Stirpe, who have served their time but are likely to still represent a threat of violence.

There are a variety of theoretical explanations that have been put forward to explain female abuse and violent crimes against women. These include feminist and gender theories and extend to theories of genetic pathology.

However, in the criminological literature a distinction is made between two categories of explanation. On the one hand, there are theories that tend to focus on individual pathology and forms of deviance that can lead to these crimes. On the other hand, the more socially inclined theorists tend to focus on the common patterns between individuals and the social milieu and its influences. The promoters of social control and other socially based theories argue that social factors rather then individual differences are the most suitable explanatory factors for these crimes. Social control theories argue, for example, that, the importance of social factors over and above individual stability" Juvenile recidivism: criminal propensity, social control and social learning theories"…...

Because funding these programs is sound policy, to fail to properly fund these programs results in poor policy being implemented and at a great detriment to society. This is not lightly stated as fact but is based upon more than 1,000 victim services providers who were surveyed and whose responses "clearly demonstrate that without adequate funds from VOCA, many cannot meet the growing demand for services." (Violence Against Women Act, 2004) Alternative views do exist as stated previously however, these claims that domestic violence has decreased are erroneous and faulty. If indeed, individuals in the U.S. are to be as safe in their own homes as in the world around them, it is imperative that these programs received funding that allows them to be effective.

Introduction The 113th United States Congress is among the recent meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government. The following study focuses on the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 especially on its history, congressional activity and developmental stages that saw its ratification (VAWA 2013). The legislation of the 113th Congress is relevant to grants consolidation as it addresses intimate partner violence (IPV). VAWA 2013 was signed into law by President Obama on March 7, and it managed to recognize those tribes’ that were faced with inherent power when exercising “special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction” (SDVCJ) over certain defendants. The legislation is relevant regarding strengthening the healthcare systems when responding to the violence of different natures such as domestic, dating, sexual assault, and stalking. Therefore, passing the law meant that certain tribes or groups (Native American women, the LGBT community, and those women immigrants that have no…...

Violence Against Women
Since the beginning of times, women have been subjected to violence, not just of one kind but many different kinds. It should be noted here that although all sorts of violence against women are common in all parts of the world, some particular kinds of violence are location specific. Political and democratic governments have taken a number of steps all over the world and have passed bills to protect the rights of women, but somehow these have not been enough to completely eradicate this evil from the face of the earth (Gerstenfeld, 2013).

In this paper, we shall discuss sexual violence, domestic violence and discrimination against aboriginal women. The aforementioned types of violence would be discussed according to the areas of the world where they are relatively more common and if any steps have been taken by the government regarding this matter. At the end of the paper, we…...

Femicide: A Monster Lurking in the ShadowsSome, like Hackman, have called it a silent epidemic. Scores of women continue to be killed for no reason other than their gender. Yet, it appears that no spotlight is being shined upon this atrocity. Less than one year ago, it was Gabby Petito who was murdered by her fiance. At around the same time, Dr Shauna Witts ex-boyfriend was convicted of her murder four years earlier. How many more women will have to be killed for no mistake of their own before this issue is apportioned the attention it deserves? Ours appears to be just but a knee jerk reaction. We only show concern whenever the news media is awash with a sensational piece of yet another femicide. We all need to be concerned because the next victim could be someone close to us perhaps a neighbor, aunt, sister, or even…...

Advocacy Strategy: Domestic Violence Against Women
Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence states domestic violence is a pattern of behavior that includes the use or threat of violence and intimidation for gaining power and control over another person. Violence is characterized by: Physical Abuse, Economic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Verbal Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Isolation, and Control (AzCADV, 2011). The battering of women by men continues to be a significant social problem -- men commit 86 to 97% of all criminal assaults and women are killed 3.5 times more often than men in domestic homicides (NCADV, 2011). It is a EAL problem that affects EAL people! Domestic Violence is a problem and continues to plague society today. Our Domestic Violence Victim Advocate program was established in 2010 as one of the three stakeholders to comprise Arizona's Superior Court Domestic Violence Court. The Court is a problem-solving court based on a model endorsed by the…...

Gender Violence a) According to Katz, what is gender violence?
Gender violence is a social problem that includes sexual assault, domestic violence, sexual harassment, relationship abuse, and sexual abuse of children (Katz, 2013). Gender violence has been seen as a women’s issue, but it is as much a men’s issue that affects first men, as much as it affects women.
b) Why is calling gender violence a "women's issue" problematic?
Gender violence has been previously misleadingly and wrongly described as a women issue, and that is problematic. This description forms a basis for men to overlook the issue and excuse themselves and not pay attention. When the majority of men hear of the term “women’s issue”, they simply tune it out. In addition, this misleading description sets the ground for diversion from the core issue and questions for example, why do men perpetuate gender-based acts of violence towards women? Why are gender violence acts…...

Women and men are two parts of the human race. Men are important to society just as women are. However, because of the social structure of many cultures and society, men appear as the dominant, superior sex. This leads to the belief that men must control women, dominate them in order to be seen as 'real men'. Katz explore in his novel the need to remove such belief systems and create gender equality to end violence against women and create a balanced society.
Domestic violence is an issue many people face on a daily basis. However, in Katz book, The Macho Paradox, chapter 1 opens the discussion of domestic abuse seen as a common event in the American landscape. "...found that two-thirds of American men say that domestic violence is very or fairly common in the U.S., and in a 2005 national survey...92% of respondents said that family violence is a…...

Fact SheetPublic Health Issue: Violence Against Women in KenyaNature and Magnitude of the Problem:Violence against women is a pervasive and serious public health issue in Kenya. According to a national survey conducted in 2021, 39% of women in Kenya have experienced physical violence, and 14% have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. Additionally, 40% of women aged 15-49 have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual violence by an intimate partner (World Health Organization, 2021).The health consequences of violence against women in Kenya are significant and include physical injuries, mental health disorders, and reproductive health problems. Women who experience violence are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They may also be at increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended pregnancies, and have lower rates of contraceptive use (Kameri-Mbote, 2001).Who is affected:Violence against women in Kenya affects women and girls of all ages, socioeconomic status,…...

Thus, as Kurtz approached his death, he came upon the realization of this possibility -- a possibility that came true upon his 'defeat' (death). This realization was embodied in his exclamation, "The horror! The horror!" As he neared his death. Explicit violence was, evidently, just a "mask" that colonizers used to cover up their fears of the potential power and control of the natives over them (colonizers).
In the same vein, violence was also portrayed in Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," although this was expressed implicitly through the inherent tendency of Africans to view women as the weaker and inferior sex. Okonkwo's behavior towards his wives and daughters showed this animosity between sexes in African culture. However, it was also implicitly shown in the novel how, despite their apparent submissiveness, the women in Okonkwo's life and in the Mbanta tribe showed strength of character and control over males more than the…...

Indeed, the most serious health issue related to domestic violence of course is mortality, and the California omen's Law Center (CLC) conducted a survey of 100 murders of women by their male intimate partners. The results are very germane for those interested in health-related gender fairness through the law in California.
CLC found that in 59% of the surveyed cases of women homicide victims the murder was not the first abusive episode; and a "history of threats to the victims' life" by the killer was available in 47% of the cases. Because seeking a "restraining order" and/or domestic violence services increases a victim's safety in many cases, 68% of abused murder victims "...never obtained, or attempted to obtain, a protective order against their abusive partner" (CLC, 2003). Just 20% of those women killed by intimate partners had an active restraining order against their abuser at the time they were murdered.

In album after album, women are referred to as *****es, hoes, gold diggers, and chickenheads, and this representation of women as sexual objects for men's use is a common trope within this genre (Crossley 2005). The sex act is openly portrayed as being about the body and the availability of the body, and the use of neuter pronouns heightens its alleged objectivity and divorces it from personal significance (Crossley 2005). For example, lyrics in Snoop Dogg's "Bring it on," include, "I'm qualified to knock a hoe, "Got it cracking with my hoe" (Crossley 2005).
Gangsta rap music is essentially the vocalization of sentiments that have lived long within the political environment of the African-American community. To feel empowered, African-American males attempt to keep women subordinate.

Women
The subordination of women manifests in distinct patterns of physical, psychological, political, and economic oppression. Women's work is undervalued, whether that work is classified as domestic labor or as labor in the patriarchal universe. The readings from Chapter 8 reveal the ways domestic servitude continues to define women's work. Domestic servitude constrains women's participation in the patriarchal market economy, too, perpetuating cycles of subordination. Readings in Chapter 10 address another dimension of misogyny: physical abuse and violence. Sexual slavery and domestic abuse are manifestations of patriarchy with disturbing political and social dimensions.

In "Maid to Order," Barbara Ehrenreich (2000) uses the maid as the primary motif to discuss women's labor rights issues. Ehrenreich (2000) states that the "politics of housework" is rarely discussed in public arenas. Housework constitutes an "uncounted and invisible" aspect of the larger economy. Ehrenreich's (2000) astute analysis takes into account poor immigrant domestic laborers as well as…...
