Violence (physical actions that could potentially lead to
injury to hurt) occurs in many forms in our society
today. Violence can be found within the family and in
romantic relationships. Some parents use spanking or
other form as a way of punishment children (Gershoff,
2002). Siblings often use violence with one another.
Couples may hit or slap each other or use other form of
behavior that would technically be classified as
violence. Other forms of violence within relationship
include acquaintance rapes and marital rape. Child
abuse and incest are other forms of family violence.

Topic Sentence 1

Firstly, it was often associated with jealousy. The aggression was

upsetting for these men/women.(SP1) The abuser will question the
victim about who the victims talks to, accuse the victim of flirting, or
become jealous of time spend with others.(SSP1) Men are generally
less likely to show strong negative psychological or emotional reactions
to being assaulted whereas women are more likely to have negative
reactions to being assaulted (Acierno, Kilpatrick, & Resnick, 1999).
(SSSP1)

Supporting point 2

Pain is a form of frustration that can lead to aggression

in animals and humans (Berkowitz, 1993).(SP2) Such
aggression can be seen in controlled laboratory
conditions and in natural settings in everyday life.(SSP2)
Aggression is a frequent response to pain, it is also
associated in human and animals with attempts to
escape the situation or the person causing the pain
(Berkowitz, 1993).(SSSP2)

Topic Sentence
2
Secondly, economic hardship and unemployment can
increase levels of aggressiveness. Argues that a wide variety
of unpleasant or frustrating feelings can lead to anger and
aggression.(SP1) When others are angry at us or blame us for
something, we respond with anger toward them.(SSP1)
Marital violence on so goes up when men are unemployed
and when men or women are experiencing high levels of job
strain (Fox, Benson, DeMaris & Van Wyk, 2002).(SSSP1).

Supportin
g point 2
The person who is provoking someone else may not perceive
his or her behavior as unreasonable, and may be surprised at
the aggressive response.(SP2) The provoker may, instead,
describe his or her behavior or impulsive or as due to some
mitigating circumstance (Baumeister et al., 1990).(SSP2) The
person being provoked is more likely to see initiating events
as unjustified, immoral, or deliberately cruel harmful. (SSSP2)

Conclusion

Although many people are working on finding ways to reducing

or ending violence in the family and sexual assault, non of these
treatment programs yet receive strong empirical support as
being effective in producing long term change. Efforts being
made include non violent socialization of children, rape
prevention programs and treatment of sex offenders.
