Violence within families
The United States has made great progress since the 1950s. As a result of groundbreaking research, journal articles and books, and media attention, there are now more than 15000 child abuse prevention, rape crisis, domestic violence, and elder abuse prevention programs throughout the United States. In particular, nurses have been pioneers and actively involved in providing services to victims of domes violence and crime
The possibility that people might be injured or that strangers have invaded their homes is a frightening thought, but hundreds of thousands of American face an even more devastating reality when they are harmed not by strangers, but by someone they trusted. Vicious crimes of violence occur against children, parents or grandparents, spouses, and other close relatives.
The family is still the center of society. Abuse by a partner, a parent, a trusted adult, or one’s own child or to witness such abuse leaves deeply ingrained memories and other serious consequences. Victims of domestic violence wrestle with different emotions than do other victims of violence. They deal with mixed feelings of fear, loyalty, love, self-blame, guilt, and shame, all at the same time. Adult become torn between the desire to shield and help a loved one and their responsibility to ward their own safety and the safety of others in the household. Children face the reality that those who should protect them are in fact the source of harm. For most people, home represents security; to domestic violence victims, home is a place of danger.
The problem of family violence has always existed. Spousal abuse has existed in almost every society in the world. The beginning of services for battered women and children dates back to 1885 when the Chicago Protective Agency for Women, established to help women who were victims of physical abuse, provided legal aid, court advocacy, and personal assistance to the women. However, by the 1940s, few shelters remained, partly because of marital separations caused by Word War II.
Throughout history, there has been evidence of children suffering, from biblical time to the present. The landmark Wilson case of 1874 opened America’s eyes to the difficulty of many children. Eight-year-old Mary Ellen Wilson lived with her adoptive parents in New York City. She was held there in chains, starved, and beaten. The police responded but did nothing because it was a “ family matter” and parents held the “rights” (Zigler and Hall, 1989). A man named Henry Berg had founded a protective group the prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Berg was able to rescue Mary Ellen from her family torture chamber.
This section presents definitions and current statistical trends from a developmental perspective of family violence. It covers bullying behavior as a precursor to abusive dating relationships, courtship abuse, partner threat and violence, domestic violence and pregnancy, batterers’ stalking patterns, and domestic homicide. It also discusses key concepts of family violence such as socialization into violence and learned socialized violence attachment, jealousy, guilt, and revenge; and the biology of trauma
Bullying Behavior
Because of its connection to violent and aggressive behaviors that result in serious injury to the self and to others, bullying is now considered a major public health issue. Once viewed as a ritual of childhood and adolescence, bullying has now captured media headlines nationally and internationally (Burgess et al., 2009)
Bullying is the abuse of power by one child over another through repeated aggressive. Behaviors. For some bullies, power comes from physical strength and maturity, from higher status within a peer group, by knowing another child’s weakness, or by recruiting support of other children. As bullies their victims and turn to indirect forms that include verbal and social exclusion (Olweus, 1991). Nurses are conducting research on childhood teasing and bullying. For example, the use of bibliotherapy is an innovative approach recommended to school nurses as they work to healthful school environment (Gregory and Vessey, 2004).
Developmental aspects of the family and its structure
Just as there are developmental stages and tasks for the child maturing into an adult, there are also three family developmental phases that families progress through. The first phase begins with dating ,courtship, and marriage; the middle phase includes partnership and work, with childbearing and parenting being an option; and the third phase continues a work focus, optional grandparenting, and retirement. Because violence within families has only recently surfaced as a legal matter, research into the causes and consequences is limited. As a first step, the definitions help to begin classification for the research process.
