|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate current circumstances of violence against wives, and to identify the wife¡¯s opinion of the spouse¡¯s punishment in domestic violence cases.
Method: The subjects were 216 married women in G province. Data was gathered from November 22 to December 6, 2004. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, and the x2-test using SPSS/Win 10.0 program.
Results: About thirty six percent of the subjects had experience with domestic violence. There was a high prevalence of psychological aggression(68%), sexual coercion (36%), physical assault(31%), and injury(19%). The subjects experiencing domestic violence had a higher positive attitude towards the spouse¡¯s punishment than subjects not experiencing domestic violence. The more severe the domestic violence was, the more the battered women¡¯s positive attitude for criminal action increased.
Conclusion: An educational program and public relations will increase women¡¯s empowerment to solve domestic violence. A more cooperative and integrative program for prevention and an intervention system against domestic violence should be developed for women in battered situations.
