CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background to the study
A family is
the first social community in the life of any person or group of persons. It is
from this that an individual attaches and understands the values of culture,
assimilates the first social roles and acquires the experience of social
behavior. In the family, this person takes their first steps, experiences the
first joys and sorrows, and then, leaves the family and faces a big world. Then
the person returns when he feels uncomfortable out there. The family is not
just a simple set of individuals engaging in their activities. It’s a complex
social formation. Each member of the family is both a unique individuality and
an integral part of a whole family group. The family is a small social group.
Individual intra-group processes and phenomena are typical here. At the same
time, the family is distinguished from the other small groups by some peculiar
features. They are marital or kinship ties among its members, a common way of
life, special moral-psychological and emotional-ethical as well as legal
relations.
Also, the
family has other features like lifelong adherence to the family group (the
family is not chosen, a person is born in it). In addition, it has the maximum
heterogeneous composition of the group (age, gender, personal, social,
professional, and other differences of family members). One more feature is the
maximum degree of informal contact in the family and the increased emotional
significance of family events. Any family is created with the purpose of
satisfying some important needs for its members. However, this beautiful
picture of an ideal family has been threatened over time by what we have termed
domestic violence of family violence. Family violence, also called domestic
violence, intimate partner violence, relationship violence or inter-personal
violence, is a pattern of intentionally violent or controlling behavior used by
a person against a family member or intimate partner to gain and maintain power
and control over that person, during and/or after the relationship. An intimate
partner may be a married or dating couple or joined in domestic partnership.
Some examples of “intentionally violent or controlling behavior” include:
control over someone’s schedule; doesn’t allow access to the phone and/or
monitors calls; limits use of the car or doesn’t allow a car; persistent
calling at work to check up or not allowing someone to work; doesn’t permit use
of birth control; name calling and/or threatening family, friends, pets
destruction of property. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviour in
any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and
control over another intimate partner. The definition adds that domestic
violence can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation,
religion, or gender”, and can take many forms, including physical abuse, sexual
abuse, emotional, economic and psychological abuse (Office of Violence Against
Women, 2007). Domestic violence is also known as domestic abuse, spousal above,
battering, family violence and intimate partner violence. It is a pattern of
abusive behaviours by one partner against another in an intimate relationship
such as marriage, dating, family or cohabitation. Domestic violence, so
defined, has many forms, including physical aggression or assault (hitting,
kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects), or threats
thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering;
intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse otherwise known as neglect; and
economic deprivation (Seimeniuk, Krentz, Gish & Gill, 2010).
1.2
Statement of the Problem
Domestic
violence and abuse is not limited to obvious physical violence. It can mean
endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing,
harassment and stalking (National Network to End Domestic Violence, 2011).
Domestic violence occurs globally (UNICEF, 2005). Families from all social,
racial economic, educational and religious backgrounds experience domestic
violence in different ways. In the United States of America, each year, women
experience about 4.8 million intimate partner related physical assaults and
rapes while men are victims of about 2.9 million intimate partner related
physical assaults. In parts of the third world generally and in West Africa, in
particular, domestic violence is prevalent and reportedly justified and
condoned in some cultures. For instance, 56% of Indian women surveyed by an
agency justified wife-beating on grounds like –bad cook, disrespectful to in-laws,
producing more girls, leaving home without informing, among others.
Reports from
IRIN (2007) show that 25% of women in Dakar & Kaolack in Senegal are
subjected to physical violence from their partners and that very few admit that
they are beaten – while 60% of domestic violence victims turn to a family
member, in three-quarter of the cases, they are told to keep quiet and endure
the beatings. The reports also reveal that a law passed in the Senegalese penal
code punishing domestic violence with prison sentences and fines is poorly
enforced due to religious and cultural resistance. In Ghana, spousal assaults
top the list of domestic violence (IRIN, 2007) In Nigeria; reports reveal
“shockingly high” level of violence against women (Afrol News, 2007). Amnesty
international (2007) reports that a third (and in some cases two-thirds) of
women are believed to have been subjected to physical, sexual and psychological
violence carried out primarily by husbands, partners and fathers while girls
are often forced into early marriage and are at risk of punishment if they
attempt to escape from their husbands. More pathetic is the revelation of gross
under reporting and non-documentation of domestic violence due to cultural
factors (Afrolnews, 2007). It is the singular objective of this study to
examine the effect of domestic violence as it regard family stability.
1.3
Objectives of the study
The study
has the following objectives as its focus:
To determine
the causes of the domestic violence.
To examine
the effect of domestic violence on the stability of the family.
To determine
the economic impact of domestic violence.
1.4 Research
hypotheses
The study
formulated and developed for testing the following hypotheses:
H0: domestic
violence does not have a significant effect on the stability of families.
H1: Domestic
violence has a significant effect on the stability of families.
H0: There is
no significant relationship between domestic violence and economic growth.
H1: There is
a significant relationship between domestic violence and economic growth.
1.5
Significance of the study
This study
will provide comprehensive details regarding domestic violence. Furthermore, it
will provide a balanced view of the situation thereby allowing the reader to
attain a better understanding. The study will serve as a reference point for
further researches. The study is an academic contribution to numerous literatures
on domestic violence.
1.6 Scope
and Limitation of the Study
The scope of
the study involves the time & money spent, the tools/materials and
techniques used, and the number of personnel needed for the experiment to be
completed. For this study, the researcher undertook a personal research work.
Time was really unavailable for the study to accommodate other areas. The study
is limited to Jos, Plateau state. The study encapsulates relevant and related
literatures on domestic violence
1.7
Definition of Terms
