Yes sir, it is. I believe that it is very primitive way of communication, when people are unable to send their messages across in a productive and respectful manner. However I believe that violence between two intimate partners differs essentially from violence seen on the street. It is not just the obvious reason of where such violence takes place, which is usually behind closed doors of the intimate partner’s violence; it is also the whole cause of that violence is different.
Regardless of their causes and characteristics, both violence types are absolutely intolerable in any complex culture.
Unfortunately violence exists all over the world, in all kinds of different social groups. However whereas violence on the street has its causes in social depression, that within intimate partners it is usually a question of power problem with a huge problem of self expression. Such violence I believe is a reaction to a situation born of anger and frustration. It is usually happens when one partner feels that they are lacking something that is important to them, be it money, love, freedom or respect. And in order to gain that power, violence comes into picture. Unfortunately, women often end up getting more hurt in such situations simply as a result of their inferior size or physical strength.
Understanding the causes of intimate partner’s violence is essential in fighting against it. Even though causes of these two types of violence are different, it should in no way excuse those who commit violent acts towards their “loved once”. They should be treated the same way in front of the law as those who commit violence on the streets. Perhaps only then will the incidence of this type of violence be reduced.
