Domestic violence increase
is society's fault speakers
By Betsy Miller
Domestic violence in America hat
increased sharply because of the increasing
emphasis and publicity about acts of vio.
lence, according to a spokesperson for the
Rape Spouse Abuse Crisis Center.
Denise Daup, along with crisis center
worker JoAnn Dunn, spoke Thursday in
the Nebraska Union on domestic violence.
The presentation was part of the Women's
Resource Center's Women's Week.
Daup said no specific family member
can be blamed for the increase in family
violence.
'It really is a social issue. We dont try
and blame anybody,' she said.
The center started handling domestic
violence problems such as child abuse,
spouse abuse and incest, a year ago, Dunn
said.
Daup quoted figures showing that the
number of domestic violence crimes has
doubled in four years.
According to Daup, pregnant women
can be targets for abuse from their
husbands because the expected child is a
threat to the man's relationship with his
wife.
Another circumstance contributing to
domestic violence is the marriage of a
couple that has lived together Daup said.
The man who may have never hit the
woman while they lived together will begin
beating her after they are married, she said.
"There is a social sanction that says now
this man owns this woman, Daup said.
The common pattern for family distur
bances is known as the Circle of violence,
Daup said.
The circle begins with tension between
the man and woman, followed by actual
violence and then a recourting period when
the aggressor tries to make up with his
partner, according to Daup.
She said after the pair reconciles, the
circle can begin again.
Daup and Dunn said they deal almost
exclusively with abused women.
The women they work with usually
have a very low opinion of themselves,
Daup said.
If a wife is beaten, she may be
embarrassed and avoid family and friends
so she won't have to tell them what's
wrong, Daup said.
Dunn said ab abused woman in Lincoln
can go to a shelter in the city, but shelters
will only keep women a maximum of two
weeks.
The crisis center does not offer shelter,
but it does have a grant from the State
Department of Public Welfare which pro
vides money to pay legal fees for any
abused person needing it.
