Domeatic violence cau be defined 8a an act carried out with the intention of physically injuring one's spouse. Such violence may include thoae couples who live tosethu. thouSh unmarried, and bo!,- and sirl-friends. Although battering is common to 011 classes, statistics indicate that victims with the means seek help privately and can more easily extricate themselves from destructive relationships.

While marital violence is not one--aidad. indications are that moat victims of battering are women. One New York City shelter 88sisted two husbanda in the pertod it aided over 500 women. But when a husband is the victim, he may be ono of a permanent nature. Studiea have Indicated that women are more likely to become violent in self-defense only. but will sttika out with whatever weapon comes to hand. The result iB Ukely to be serious injury or death. In 1977. the FBI reports that husband fataUties were only 1.0 percent lower than wife fataUties.

Most research on the causes of domestic violence has concentrated on external influencos: job stress, Unancisl prob­ lems and use of alcohol. However. some experts fee!. that these aro rationalizationa which serve to oxcuae the husband's behavior, and that more attention should be paid to the cultural influences which produce violence. Such advocates note that a certain de8ree of violence is tolerated within the marriage framework which would not be accepted in other relation­ ships. In fact, one-fifth of Americana in a Harris poll approved of slapping one's spouse on "appropriate" occa&1ons. This attitude can be soen as legitimizing a certain degree of violence. ,

Primitive women were held in high oste_ by their clans, 88 the only dtacernible parents of chlldren. However, in most societies to'OlDIlQ came to welcome the idea of one mate. largely all a prote.ctor, and men appreciated the status of becoming acknowledged parants. This relationship WQS to result in the subjugation of one sex to another, and through the 8ges, women come to be the property, not portnera, of men. In our ow country, a 1II4n was permitted to beat hia wUe 8S long as he didn't use a switch any thicker than hie thwub. So. tolerance of domestic violence and unequal relationships are entrenched in our society.

Traditional rolos place the man as .the head of the household, with the attendant right to discipUne hie wife. Women's educational and employment opportunities have made it difficult for many to leave brutal relationships. In addition. many law enforcement officers consider arrest too drastic a solution to a domestic aasault for various reasons and encourage both porties to cool off and calm do\rlt\. Ironically, 22 percent of police deaths are the rosult of playing third"party mediator in domestic disputes.

In response to the need a of Victims, WOman have developed many of the support systems currently Bvellable. On the grassroots level there are hotlines and emergency Bafe houses for battered women and their chlldren. Moat victims elso need financial support, counseling and emotional support. In many cases, they nsed to learn how to fUnction on their own without their husbands, but w1th the assurance thnt it 1& not "voman's lot" to enduro violence. Men's Counseling on Domestic Violence I , EttERGE, a non-profit organization based in Boston, offers group counseling to men w1th the objective of ending assault" f. against their mates. Alternatives for handling frustration and anger, legal issues and the social content of battering are considered. Workshops, classes and in-service training are part of £merge's cODlllunity education program. For information, write DlERGE, Room 206, 25 Huntington Ave •• Boston, MA 02116.

Although one in five deaths in police depaTtments across the nation are connected to domestic assaults. many law en­ forcement officials refer to domestic problems as mere "spats". Many police departments have a policy of encouraging parties to ceason together and not demand arrest I and judges sometimes ask vomen "'ho prosecute ..,hat they did to provoke the attack. Many police departments do not treat domestic calls 8S a top priority, a.lthough they have proved to be deadly to all parties involved. •

Law enforcement and criminal justice system procedures that reflect outmoded attitudes must be changed. Does your police department adequately train its ofUcers to respond to domestic calls prom.ptly and in accordance with special proce­ dures? Form a task force and talk with officials.
