Thanks for the video link. I also came across another video that might be good for a class about elite deviance or medical sociology. It's a song by the Austin...
What percent of boys who grow up in homes of domestic violence will later become batterers themselves? What percent of girls who grow up in homes of domestic...
Most of the data I have seen on this is flawed by analysis using categories of the dependent variable...... homes with (reported) domestic violence. The GSS...

Thanks, Del, but that's not what I'm interested in. What I want to know is of children who grew up in homes where their mother was battered, what percent then...
hi, Bill as Del mentioned, the data are not clean enough to be able to predict with any degree of accuracy. having left the field, i have not kept up with the...
Hi all, It would be very difficult to separate out the overall effects . There is the violence against women, general violence toward people in general... as...

Bill This area is intensely political. I spent several months in contact with McNeely. There were death threats involved. None of this denies the constant ...

I could not disagree more. Yes, research shows women hit as much as men. However, most (but not all) of women's violence against men is in self defense....
Michael Johnson has the best work on the differing forms of domestic violence; i ended up drawing on his work considerably when working in the field: ...
Hi, I'm not sure what you disagree with. But where there is self defense there is also victim precipitated assault. On the other hand females are usually not...

I have been asking a variety of sources about my domestic violence question. One interesting referral is this: "Violence Against Women: Identifying Risk...
Bill, Again this data will be failed because you are analyzing from a category of the dependent variable battered women. For example, would homicides be...

Del, I agree that the locus of the behavior is the situation not the person/actor. However, I think there is some carryover of learned responses. The male...
Bill and all, How would we know whether or not a child male or female learns conflict resolution. Or even if learning conflict resolution has anything to do...

hi, Bill to add a caution, i think that there is a big difference between risk factors and predictive factors. risk factors are gleaned from historical data...
did anyone else notice that the "newly revised" seven deadly sins are decidedly more social than the originals? the old ones were lust, gluttony, greed, sloth,...
I am wondering about Eliot Spitzer. If you've been following the thing, Spitzer was the former attorney general of New York who cracked down on corporate...
John: Too funny. Where were you when the writers were on strike? Actually, I'm interested in this concept. I hate to sound completely out of touch but are...

hi, Kathy yeah, the Catholic Church released their "updated" seven deadly sins at the end of last week or on Monday (don't recall the exact date). here is a...
hi, Bill i think it's fairly simple -- he broke a law that he was elected to uphold. regardless of the morality of the law, he still violated it. as an elected...
John, I could not disagree more. Spitzer was at the front of figthing the large corporate crooks. They would do anything to get rid of him. (Remember the John...
Thinking of this, I wouldn't be surprised if Carl Rove wasn't the one who sent the call girls to woo him. Or someone else with the same end in mind. We see...

hi, Bill you miss my point...to play a high-stakes game like Spitzer did, you must play it impeccably; he did not, he is gone. it's not a question of morality,...
... So, John. Who is beyond temptation? John Perkins point of them probing until they find a weakness is true. My point is it's sex. So what? Sex is not in...
