Review the current literature on your social problem. You must review 5-6 peer reviewed empirical journal articles. No books may be used as references for this portion of the paper unless they have been specifically cleared with Dr. McGuire. I will assume all articles are empirical articles. If you use a different type of article (methodological, theoretical, or review) you must specify it as such in the paper. However, it is better to avoid these sorts of articles. Describe what is known and not known about your social problem. Be clear in your writing about which cites are findings from a study and which are from discussion points, or topics from the introduction. In general in this section, I am only interested in the empirical findings from studies and to a lesser extent the discussion points. (3pgs)
Section3: Data
Describe data about your topic from sources other than peer reviewed empirical literature. This will include data such as tables of rates from state or federal agencies, evaluation reports from private organizations of policy, policy briefs from organizations. Basically, your goal is to determine what is known about your social problem. Use about 4-5 sources. 4 pages
This section will discuss general information on spousal abuse, revictimization and the effects of spousal abuse on the economy.
According to Domestic Violence Resource Center an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of spousal abuse each year and out of the 85% of domestic violence victims are women. women ages 20 -24 are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.
Women that suffer from spousal abuse often suffer from depression, anxiety, hostility and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) related symptomatology.
Repeat victimization is an problem for spousal abuse and it can begin when the victim is a child because women that are abused as children are three to five times more likely to be abused as adults. Women that have been abused once before are two times likely to be abused within the next two year time period. Women that have been abused twice before are four times more likely to be abused in the next two years and women that have been abused three or more times are ten times more like to be abused in the next two years.
Domestic violence is a major issue in the United States according to National
Coalition Against Domestic Violence, American Bar Association and Domestic Violence
Resource Center state one in four women has experienced domestic violence in their
lifetime. This has a very large effect on the economy
Domestic violence also has a negative impact on the economy. According to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence the economic impact of spousal abuse to the American economy exceed 12 billion dollars each year this includes both medical and mental health services which exceed 5.8 billion dollars annually. Then there is the loss of almost 8 million days of paid work due to abuse victims missing work through fear or injury. This loss is the equivalent of more than 32,000 full time jobs.
health care costs for women with a history of
intimate partner violence remain 20% higher than those for women with no history of
violence.

Section 4: What are the current policies in our state or country, and how do you recommend they be changed. Look up the current policy (state or federal, whichever applies) regarding your social problem. Make recommendations and support them based on your review of literature, the data from section 3, and what you determine to be current policy. Be sure to support any ideas you suggest with evidence either from the peer reviewed literature, based on your theory, or from the other data you find.
Please help in any way you can
