Common denominator descriptions of those perpetrating violence against women:

 

Dyadic Contexts

 

According to many experts in the subject regarding violence against women, most men often carry out violence against women in a dyadic context which include; characteristics of the woman, their

communication and the features of the relationship (World Health Organization (WHO), 2016). The probability of violence between a woman and a man is usually determined according to the stage of their

relationship. According to anecdotal evidence that was found from some of the women who had gone through battering by their partners indicated that most men usually refrain from physical violence

until when a woman decides to make an emotional commitment to him (The National Academic Press, 2014). Some good examples of emotional commitments that women make include; getting married

or engaged, moving in together with the man or even getting pregnant.

 

Societal Influences

 

There is no doubt that the society also has a great role in the violence against women. Many communities around the world always look down upon women as just objects that should be controlled by

men (Young Women’s Christian Association, 2014). In the history of America and Western Europe, we discover that many married women had no any independent legal status meaning that women were

just part of a man’s property. There were even some instances when husbands were given the right to physically punish their wives (The National Academic Press, 2014). A good example is in 1824 in the

case between (Bradley v. State 1 Miss.157) where the Supreme Court of Mississippi upheld the right of the husbands to chastise their wives.

 

Statistics on domestic violence against women in California

 

Domestic violence has for many years been a big problem in the United States. According to many surveys in the United Sates many female experience 80% of domestic violence against them as

compared to the small percentage of men that have experienced domestic violence. We are specifically going to focus on domestic violence against women statistics in California. Recent surveys

indicate that about 32.9% of women in California experienced domestic violence from their intimate partners. There are about 4.5 million women who reside in California, and most of them have at least

experienced domestic violence at some point in their life. The results of domestic violence against women in California is said to be very much higher than even the nationwide average of 1 women in 4

who indicated that they had experienced intimate partner violence (California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, 2017). Many women who reported violence against them were the non-white as

compared to the white women in California. Many young women that are between 18 to 29 years reported the highest rate of intimate partner violence. Women with a higher income also recorded the

lowest rate of violence as compared to those who earned a lower income.
