Domestic Violence Domestic violence is a subject that is known about, but most often left behind. At times victims of domestic violence are not even aware that they indeed are victims. It is also common that when one does know about domestic violence, most often it is a woman that is the victim. That is not the case; there are other populations that are effected as well. When people are victims of such acts, they are more likely to develop some type of disorder as well as other issues. Although victims are getting abused, these cases are not often reported but as time goes by there are more people and victims speaking up and making reports.
Statistics
When one thinks about the population that domestic violence affects, often one thinks about women. It is also the case that men and children are affected as well. Although men are affected, it is more usual that women experience domestic violence. In a US research, it showed that 25% of women and 7.6% of men had been raped and/or physically assaulted by a partner at some time in their life (Howard, 2010). Clearly these statistics display that women are affected more.

Underreported and underestimated, domestic abuse rips families apart every single day. Domestic violence comes in mainly five different forms, physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, and economic. This violence ruins families, demoralizes the victims, and the public downplays the household terrorism that goes on every day. Generally thought of as taboo, the public belittles and humorizes domestic abuse as a way to deal with it, that avoidance must come to an end.
“I object to violence, because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent”, quoted by Mahatma Gandhi. Violence is defined as an unjust or unwarranted exertion of power or force to intentionally injure, damage, or destroy something or someone. Amongst the various types of violence, there is one in particular that has been causing an ongoing debate within societies across the world; this certain type of violence is known as domestic violence.

Even though there are so many domestic violence cases in the world today, there are still many people in the United States today that are unaware of how serous this crime has become.

For years, there has been much debate on capital punishment, and whether or not it should continue on through history--or be abolished (Review, 2013). Although some may agree that the death penalty is a reasonable punishment for acting upon a violent crime, there are still questions being raised about this type of retribution. The purpose of the death penalty is to act as a deterrent to crime, but there is no logical evidence proving or supporting that it is effective in preventing violent crime (Facts, 2017). In all honesty, I, along with many others, believe that capital punishment only causes more potential damage. In example, what if one man found guilty during his trial was truly innocent all along--but he was executed anyways? Only for the state to realize later on that he, in fact, was telling the truth in his testimony. With the death penalty on the table, there may be innocent lives at risk. This is not always the case, but it is certainly possible, and has happened before. I am a firm believer that the death penalty is not the solution to preventing violent crime from happening, nor will it ever be. Is a life for a life a fair trade in the world of justice? Capital punishment is not the solution to preventing homicides from reoccurring or to mending broken families grieving the loss of a loved one due to callous murder (Facts, 2017).
