It's believed that it causes 25% of workplace issues like absenteeism, lower efficiency, and excessive medical gains use to the tune of more than $5.8 billion yearly. Sixty eight it is recognized by percent of all Human Resource Directors as a substantial staff issue. It costs corporate America $1.8 million in lost productivity. Eight million man days of paid work and 5.6 million man days of family work are lost yearly.
It's the largest cause of problems for middle aged women but it happens to men as well. It's believed that between 3.3 million and 10 million kids see it annually. Twenty two % of middle income divorces are brought on by it.
It affects every fabric of our society-it knows no boundaries. It's also estimated that not exactly 50 percent of all suspected cases go unreported.
But I assume domestic violence in America is actually not too important or cost enough in economic or social terms or you'd hear more about any of it. I am talking about all things considered is said and done ninety percent of family violence defendants will never be tried.
One out of three women report some kind of physical or sexual abuse in their lives usually a part of her very own family. Probably thats not enough. Annually 4-6 million cases of assault occur in personal relationships. Maybe thats inadequate. And remember only 50 % of cases are described.
Police respond differently to domestic violence calls than to other calls. Women in jail for a in a disturbance get sentenced an of 15 years while guys get an of 2-6 years. In 1990 there were 3800 animal shelters and 1500 shelters for battered women.
Why is there this type of double standard or number standard? Certainly it's a really difficult matter that individuals are not likely to solve now and today below. Nevertheless the regulations on domestic violence need to change, societys view of the situation has to change, and once we know it will continue steadily to flourish and develop until that occurs domestic violence.
In the meantime women would be well advised to be ready and consider how to proceed in an crisis. There are always a large number of resources on the local, state and federal level available, however in the end it is going to drop on your shoulders to arm yourself with the various tools for self defense or emergency.
These methods might include developing some familiarity with warning signs; learning some practices on self defense; carrying some non-lethal self safety weapons; developing a workplace and personal safety program. Dont rely on someone else. You are a difference that will be made by the one!.Tim Bilecki
