The topic for my research paper is domestic violence. Domestic violence is the violent and aggressive behavior involving the abuser and his/her spouse that generally occurs within the house. Domestic violence is a serious issue which has always been present in our society but is often overlooked. The recent events of celebrities such as professional football player Ray Rice and others have brought it media attention and forced people to recognize the seriousness of this issue. I decided on this topic because crime shows that deal with domestic violence have always intrigued me. I also know of a few people who have had abusive partners. I do not understand why people would continue to stay with someone who harms them. The victims often refuse to report their abuser out of fear. This is clearly wrong and something needs to be done about it. I hope that the readers of my research paper will see as I do and realize that this is a serious nationwide issue which needs to be fixed. Domestic violence affects men, women, and children. The people who affected by it are getting physically injured and emotionally scarred. The physical injuries can range anywhere from bruises to broken bones to more serious medical conditions. I think that the information for this topic will not be too hard to find. However, since it is such a big topic I will need to ensure that I keep my research narrowed in on my particular question. My research will include reading many articles about the topic. Although I may not directly use all the articles in my paper I will definitely need them for my own personal background knowledge. There are many medical journals and articles about domestic violence. It will not be too difficult to comprehend, but it will be challenging to understand why people feel the need for domestic violence and why the victims stay with their abusers. Hopefully with my research I will learn a little more about why. DefinitionDomestic violence is the violent and aggressive behavior involving the abuser and his/her spouse that generally occurs within the house.
