Abstract
Who is at risk for an abusive relationship? How can those in relationships avoid abuse? What are the effects of an abusive relationship? Why do people stay in abusive relationships? This paper discusses and answers these questions about the impact an abusive relationship. It explains that they are destructive, have patterns, and can repeat themselves throughout generations. There are many different types of abuse, from physical to psychological, and each one can lead to emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, and even death. It mentions that abusive relationships have a long history, and as more is understood about them and what causes them, more can be done to aid both the abused and their abusers.
From the Paper
"Abusive relationships are extremely destructive to all the parties involved ? as much to the abuser as to the abused. Abusive relationships have often been hidden and out of sight, however, as they become more prevalent in a more violent society, more study has been done on them, and more opportunities exist for the abused to get out of their abusive relationships and begin new lives. The pattern of abuse can stop, but it is a long and difficult process for everyone involved, and abusers are never "cured" of their disease, they simply learn how to master it. Abuse in relationships is like any other addiction, such as alcohol, gambling, or drugs, and it must be treated as a disease, rather than simply a societal issue. Abusers need help as much as their abused relatives do, and that is the first step in ending the abuse pattern."

Abstract
This paper explains that the connection between substance-abusing parents and child abuse has been studied at length; however, there is a lack of research into the correlation between social support services and the reduction of child abuse by these parents. The paper then proposes a research study that will evaluate if social support networks, such as 12-step programs, rehabilitation programs and related community-based social services, could lead to a reduction of child abuse and substance abuse. The paper explains that the population for this study is parents of African-American children between the ages of two and ten years old, who have a high incidents of child abuse and substance abuse.

From the Paper
"This is an area where family therapy can be especially facilitative. For families in which self-expression is considered a weakness, an empowerment approach can help define the family in terms of the unique forms, structures, and roles that clients are actually immersed in or are attempting to renegotiate, rather than in terms of an ideal unit. Clients should be supported in defining their families for themselves and then in using creative outreach strategies to actively involve the identified members in a variety of family sessions."

"The Impact of Parental Substance Abuse on Child Abuse
Introduction
KidsCampaign (1998), a national foster care organization, reported that of all the recent trends in child welfare, perhaps none has been more troubling than the increase in cases of child abuse and neglect resulting from parental abuse of alcohol and drugs. In this regard, the organization states that nearly 3.1 million American children are, each year, reported to child protective services as abused or neglected; and substance abuse was found to be a factor in a majority of these cases.
It is further reported by the organization that research conducted by the Child Welfare League of America and other organizations have found that substance abuse to be a factor in at least 75 percent of all placements in out-of-home care. It is..."

Male Victims of Abuse, 2006.
This paper studies heterosexual males and abusive relationships.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the behavior patterns of heterosexual males who have experienced abusive relationships. The dynamics of the abusive relationship and decisions made by the males to remain in the relationship are of significant interest, as understanding these relationships shall help in establishing empathy with male victims of abuse during the communications processes. The paper explains that this is achieved through a study of the literature on abuse.
From the Paper
"Abuse and sexual partnerships have been studied in the behavioral sciences, both as a means of understanding why persons in abusive relationships remain willing to participate in a negative relationship and to attempt to find strategies to help provide solutions for the abuser and victim. Traditionally, the literature on abusive relationships has focused on heterosexual partnerships in which the male is the abuser or on homosexual partnerships in which one male abuses the other. Abusive heterosexual relationships in which the female is the abuser and the male is the victim is studied with less frequency, in large part because relationship dynamics of this nature are fewer in number than other forms of relationship abuse (Das Dasgupta, 2002)."

Abstract
In a relationship where the woman is constantly abused, emotions often propel her toward staying with the abuser. This paper discusses the emotional dynamics involved in these types of relationships. It questions why abused women stay with their partners and even claim to love them. The paper uses Anna Quindlen?s book "Black and Blue" and Roddy Doyle's "The Women Who Walked into Doors" to explore these issues.
From the Paper
"A woman involved in an abusive relationship often grew up being abused. Therefore, she has learned how to cope with the abuse ? even seeing the abuse as almost ?normal? or an ?acceptable? part of everyday life. In Anna Quindlen?s book Black and Blue, the main character, Frannie Flynn Benedetto, states, ?There are ways and ways of dying, and some of them leave you walking around. I'd learned that from watching my father, and my husband, too? (Quindlen, p. 13). Frannie Flynn Benedetto makes a comparison between the behavior of her father and her abusive husband. One may infer by her statement that while growing up with her father, she learned how to live and get along in an abusive family situation."

Abstract
The research reported in this paper consists of a qualitative study of five adolescents (between the ages of 18 and 20 years) who, at the time of the study, had signed up to receive substance abuse treatment at a local clinic. The small sample of young women were interviewed in an effort to discover their views of personal relationships and how these relationships are related to abusing drugs or alcohol. The paper includes a personal perspective on the issue, as the writer recounts her experience with substance abuse within her own family.
From the Paper
"Virtually every teen interviewed believed that she could not stop abusing drugs without developing a relationship with somebody (an adult, a counselor, a boyfriend, etc.) who really pushed for her to stop the abuse. Two of the girls felt that this relationship had to be with a boyfriend and that even if counselors and empathetic adults helped them, if their boyfriend wasn't like this, they would probably continue to use drugs."

Child Abuse and Pornography, 2002.
This paper examines the relationship between child abuse and porography.

Abstract
This paper looks at the similarities between child abuse and pornography and the relationship between them. The author explores the world of pornography and its complex relationship to the world of child abuse. Pornography is discussed in detail investigating its effects and whether it createsa predisposition in certain individuals to commit violent sexual acts.
From the Paper
"Before delving into an analysis of child abuse, child rape, and child pornography, the issue of pornography itself must be examined. Pornography is an extremely muddy issue. Does sexually explicit material have a detrimental effect on the individual? Does access to pornography contribute to misogynistic tendencies and sexism? Or on a more extreme level, does it create a predisposition in certain individuals to commit violent sexual acts? Indeed, even the definition of pornography is somewhat in dispute.
There are two types of material that are often considered pornographic. In the first type, males or females of an appropriate age are depicted in erotic poses. They are presented as equal partners without subjugation or any sign of violence. This first type of pornography is often referred to as erotica. The Playboy or Penthouse magazines would be an excellent example of this type of pornography that has been developed for males. Conversely, Playgirl magazine or one of the many romance/erotica novels available at local bookstores would be the equivalent for women."

Abstract
This paper examines how the film "This Boy's Life" characterizes the relationship between a mother and son and their attempts to cope with the abusive adult men in their lives. There is a discussion of the characters of the film and how effectively the film treats the issues wife and child abuse.
From the Paper
"The film This Boy's Life (1993) is set in the 1950s and does a good job of recreating that era. The look is right, but the characters are also right, with attitudes about certain subjects showing that they come from a different time than we do today. For those of us who recall that era, the film has a certain nostalgic value, though it also should make us think that we have done well to get away from some of the past we remember."

Abstract
The focus of this research review is the relationship that exists between child abuse and neglect and juvenile delinquency and adult violence or criminality. This work reviews relevant, reliable, and peer-reviewed literature in this subject area and states findings about prevention methods that target early identification and intervention of those who are predisposed to juvenile or adult violence or criminality due to childhood abuse. The review of literature reveals that a community-based effort that is collaborative in nature and that integrates the many levels of the community into a dynamic process of intervention and prevention is one most likely to succeed. Recommendations of this study include the recommendation that further and deeper research effort be applied toward the establishment of a knowledge base that has the potential to contribute to development of appropriate treatment and interventions. This work makes recommendations for a restructuring of the community-based service provisions for families with domestic violence and child abuse issues. This program implementation would be on a community-wide basis with the central heart of the operation being a community transition and transformation services home center that worked in a close and collaborative relationship with all other service agencies in the community in bringing about a community-based transformation in the lives of families and individuals throughout the community.

From the Paper
"The woman who has been beaten may withdraw from the family, which often results in child neglect, and the stress associated with domestic violence may cause women who are at risk for violence to resort to violence. It is also held by researchers that some abused women, in an effort to protect them from the batterer punish the children too harshly. Children who have not experienced physical abuse may still become traumatized over having witnessed domestic violence. Furthermore, children often imitate the behavior they observe and victimize other children while alternatively they may adopt the role of the victim and become withdrawn. Finally the child witnessing domestic abuse or being abused, neglected or victimized may developmentally fail to acquire the ability to control their temper or expression themselves emotionally."

Abstract
This paper explains that incidents of child abuse, in the form of physical, emotional, sexual and neglect abuse, continue to rise and can happen to any child of any race, gender and age. The author points out that physical child abuse consists of an injury inflected on a child other than by accidental means including bite marks, burns and poisoning; emotional child abuse is constantly blaming or putting down a child, excessive yelling or shaming. The paper relates that distinguishing accidents from abuse can cause problems in determining whether the injury is abuse; however, suspicion is underscored by the location of the injury, the number and frequency of injuries in different stages of healing, the size and shape of an injury and the explanation of how the injury occurred.

From the Paper
"How can adults help prevent child abuse and neglect? Friends can help out a parent under stress with a few hours of childcare or assistance with other chores. They can lend an ear to a parent or a child in crises, or they can support local programs that offer childcare, parent education, family counseling, and child safety. Caring, concerned individuals can "call a parental stress program for resources and support and reach out to those in need." If child abuse is suspected, wary adults should call the local Department of Family Services. DFS offers a parental stress help line for parents who feel overwhelmed with parental pressures and responsibilities."

Abstract
Review of statistics and literature in cases of child abuse victims with correlations to becoming and abuser as an adult. Discusses the four social factors that were found to have an effect on whether or not victims of child abuse became abusive themselves - functional social support, tangible social support, quality of family relationships and quality of the primary intimate relationship.
From the Paper
The notion that abused children become abusive parents is extremely prevalent and accepted as generally accurate. This idea is referred to as ?The intergenerational hypothesis of abuse? or ?The intergenerational theory of abuse.? As the moniker would suggest, this theory subscribes to the strong correlations between abusive parents and the idea that their childhoods having had been abusive as well. Parents who abuse, suffered abuse at the hands of their parents and thus, the violence towards children is passed down from one to generation to another in the family. However, that theory has come under some scrutiny as of late. Many researchers have found mitigating factors that could possibly break the intergenerational theory chain. I will discuss evidence that supports and also disagrees with the strength of the intergenerational hypothesis.

Abstract
This paper discusses that experts on spousal abuse believe that in such marriages, the relationship begins as a loving relationship but gradually the definition of ?love? is distorted and includes emotions of jealousy and suspicion. The paper reviews research which shows that arrest is the most effective intervention and that police officers are more likely to make these arrests when their police department has clear guidelines.
From the Paper
"Recognizing the problem, law enforcement agencies have researched what the most effective responses are to domestic abuse calls. Nancy Egan of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice put together an annotated bibliography of research regarding best police practices for domestic violence calls. She described three types of responses. The first is ?mediative.? where the police do not arrest anyone, but attempt to act as peacemakers, staying at the site until the situation calms down and the reported offender is no longer acting angrily."

From the Paper
"In recent years, more attention has been paid to the problem of spousal abuse. Indeed, many women consider violence their number one health issue. Fortunately, compared to past generations of abused women, today's woman has different options for dealing with an abusive relationship. Still, however, the problem persists. In fact, its growth in our modern world has reached epidemic proportions. There are several reasons for this increase. They include aspects ranging from the individual..and cycles of abuse passed from one generation to the next..to all of society. Regardless of the cause though, it is the nurses' responsibility to provide effective and appropriate intervention. Perhaps this can best be achieved using the patient advocacy model."
