Shattered Love, Broken Lives . . . Domestic Violence and Abuse
Decades and decades of research reveals that batters do not quit over time. Whether alcohol and drug abuse is a factor or not, domestic violence and abuse is a very serious problem . . . for both the victims and the abusers. There is some link between alcohol/drug abuse and domestic violence.
A recent study by the University of Massachusetts revealed that the vast majority of the abusers also engaged in other behaviors that resulted in multiple arrests over the decade for non-domestic violence crimes. While 60% were returned to court for abuse, 71% were rearrested for any crime.
Marriage was associated with reduced likelihood of new arrests for non-abuse crimes, but not new abuse. This suggests that marriage, at least for victims of intimate partner violence, is not “the safest place to be.”
The National Council’s Family Violence Department Web site contains copies of all state domestic violence laws. It can be found at http://www.ncifci.org/dept/fvd.
