Introduction
Domestic violence refers to the physical as well as mental abuse that affects a person in domestic settings. It is mainly observed tin ma
iage as well as cohabitation. Domestic violence is evident i
espective of all socioeconomic class. Therefore, it can be stated that it is not only the problem of people, who are belonging to the lower and middle economic group, but also affects the people of higher class. It has also been identified that primarily the females are affected in domestic violence. In addition to this, children as well as elderly people are also getting victimised in domestic violence. This study has sheds light on socioeconomic factors that triggers up the rate of domestic violence. In addition to this, several other psychological factors of domestic violence have also been described in this study. Therefore, a deep knowledge regarding domestic violence and its causal factors has been identified properly in this study.
Domestic violence and socioeconomic factors
Occupation and unemployment
According to Berns (2017), lack of education increases unemployment among people. Therefore, people are getting frustrated as well as depressed. As people become jobless, therefore, they are not being able to fulfil their requirement. This make them very short tempered as well as they get easily agitated. As per the view of Pearlman et al. (2016), socioeconomic factor is major cause of domestic violence. It has been evidenced that due to low socio economic condition, it
ing changes to the people's’ attitude and thoughts and thus they are associated with domestic violence. Therefore number of incidents like physical abuse, sexual harassment, domestic violence has been increased.
Education
Education is recognised as one of the primary thing that helps to increase knowledge and inspire people to live a good life. As commented by Osofsky (2018), human beings need to have certain ethical values that help them to differentiate between right and wrong things. Thus, they are being able to make appropriate decisions that are beneficial for their life. However, due to lack of education these ethical values have not been developed and thus they are not being able to give proper respect to other people. This is because domestic violence has been taken place. On the other hand, it can also be stated that in many countries, women are not getting appropriate chance for getting education. Thus, they are unable to protest against the domestic violence and they are facing physical abuse as well as mental trauma.
Income
Due to lack of education, people are often not being able to get proper opportunity of getting job. This is because it increases the unemployment rate and causes low income. Domestic violence occurs across the income
ackets and mainly affects the poor people. As suggested by (), due to proper income people are being able to fulfil their desires and this reduces tensions among people. However, due to jobless condition, the people are not being able to have enough money and it causes psychological distress among the people. On a contrary, Childress, Gioia & Campbell (2018) have argued that it not only evidenced among middle and low economic classes, but also it is quite prevalent among higher class people. However, in every case, mostly the women, children and elderly people are getting affected and it causes physical as well as mental distress to them.
Domestic violence and psychological factors
Family, domestic and sexual violence
Domestic violence has been recognised as the aggressive and violent behaviour of people at homely atmosphere. As commented by Cattaneo & Goodman (2015), in domestic violence, primarily spouse, children and elderly people are being affected. However, physical assault that causes sexual violence, affects the health of victims. In many cases, victims are not being able to express the physical assault and therefore appropriate treatment cannot be engaged to them. Berhane (2017) have suggested that due to lack of ethical values people are unable to make right decisions and get associated with domestic violence. In addition to this, it has also been evidenced that in Australia, partner violence is also very common and therefore, primarily spouses as well as children are being...
