Domestic violence
Domestic violence—overwhelmingly a male-against-female problem but a major issue in same-sex relationships as well—is a public health dilemma that crosses boundaries of wealth, race and class. A decade ago, the standard question for a woman in an abusive relationship was: "Why don’t you just leave?" But evidence is mounting that "just leaving" can be dangerous; some men become revengeful when a woman stands her ground. This is complicated by the fact that women often feel ambivalent toward their abusers, and want legal intervention one day and not the next. While the basic pattern fits into cultural definitions of masculinity and femininity, abuse is really about power and control. It’s the opportunity, and the entitlement, for the powerful to use force to control the less powerful.
How can such a complex dynamic ever be changed?
"What seems most effective," Merry said, "is a three-layered approach." First, there must be "some kind of punishment for the batterer. In the absence of punishment, other approaches don’t have much impact... Second, there has to be some effort at reform-treatment programs." Over time, educating batterers that their behaviour is not acceptable can change cultural norms. Data suggest that, although many batterers drop out of treatment programs, 80 percent of those who stay stop battering, at least for a year. "Third, there must be mechanisms that focus on the woman’s safety." Shelters help, but so do temporary restraining orders—civil court orders aimed at keeping the batterer away from his victim. Over time, Merry said, "the law acts not just by imposing sanctions but also by creating normative standards for how people ought to treat each other." In recent years, the number of restraining orders has soared in many states, including Massachusetts. Restraining orders may not deter someone how is homicidal but they can work with a "relatively new batterer who has not had a lot of experience with the courts."
