Types of violence
According to the characteristics of the subjects committing violence, the following categories are distinguished[2]:
- attempt on one's own life or health (including suicide, suicide attempts, self-harm);
- interpersonal violence (violence by another person or group of people);
- collective violence (violence by the state, political group, terrorist organization).
Based on the nature of violence, the following types are distinguished[2]:
- physical violence;
- sexual violence;
- psychological abuse;
- damage or neglect.
Types of physical violence
We note that all violent actions often lead to injury and death. This could include blows, kicks, bites, severe beatings, or the use of different types of weapons. Depending on the emotional state, the following types are distinguished:
Spontaneous
The person is aggressive, gets very angry, screams, then starts fist fights, cannot control himself, hurts others. In this case, the pain that appears due to powerlessness and complete disappointment in life is to blame. The patient cannot control his emotions and does not control his behavior. This is an expressive form of violence.
Cold (intentional)
In this case there is no anger, rage, or intention to hurt someone. The criminal always has a specific goal, often it can be associated with faith, belief, ideology, philosophy. Violence can be direct, in which it is immediately clear that they want to cause harm. Indirect violence is considered especially dangerous. In this case, the victim is not even aware of the attack.
Sexual
When a rapist has sexual intercourse against his will, it is rape. This also includes various coercions of a sexual nature, sadistic forms, jealousy with rape.
The bad thing is that many victims can suffer from domestic violence, while they carefully hide everything, live and endure everything. Some people begin to blame themselves for everything, thinking that they have to endure pain.
Important! Under no circumstances tolerate aggression towards yourself, hiding behind the phrases: “I did something wrong,” “My chosen one is just upset, I need to get over it,” “I deserved this.” Victims do not understand what is normal and what is violent behavior that goes beyond social and legal norms.
Tribute to tradition
— Vladimir Pavlovich, women are more often victims of domestic violence. What is it like?
- Firstly, physical violence. Women are beaten in the family, and this is considered the norm in certain circles of society and even in certain countries.
Secondly, sexual. Although it is quite close to physical violence, it is still different, because sexual violence is not only physical force against the will of a woman, but also psychological suppression and humiliation.
Thirdly, psychological, when a woman is subjected to humiliation and demands that diminish her role in the family and in society.
Fourthly, economic, when a woman is financially dependent on a man.
There is also a connection with educational qualifications. In families with higher education and financial security, sexual violence is more common. And in families where the level of education is low, physical violence accounts for 70-80%.
It also depends on the country. In the United States, sexual violence is prevalent in families.
In our country, physical violence always comes first.
This is due to many factors and, first of all, to traditions and duplication of behavior. Usually people imitate the behavior of their parents and transfer this model to their family.
- If dad beats mom, will the son then beat his wife?
- Yes, this is considered normal. But I want to emphasize that quite often a woman begins to dominate. She mentally suppresses a man, takes his salary, controls all expenses. This is psychological and economic violence.
- Also traditions? If mom controlled dad, will the daughter also control her husband?
- This is a matter of traditions and upbringing. Her mother taught her to do this. In our country, it is customary that a man gives his entire salary to his wife, and she already manages the income. In some cases this can be regarded as economic pressure. The husband is an economic donor, but very rarely a woman is satisfied with his income. She begins to reproach him for his absence:
- big salary
- pride,
- careers.
That is, psychological pressure comes into play. It cannot be clearly divided into physical, economic or psychological pressure. Everything is mixed.
— Does a woman like this position? Can she, under the guise of dissatisfaction, hide her joy at being dominant?
- This is a translation of such experiences into the sexual sphere, because there is already an element of sadism: yes, I will take money from my husband, getting pleasure from it. I think that this is just a tribute to tradition, and there is little sexism. That is, a man must earn a certain amount, give it to his wife, and she will manage it: roughly speaking, give out a ruble for lunch, as was the case in the Soviet Union. That is, she simply cannot allow her husband to manage his salary himself.
There are very few families where these issues are resolved on a parity basis: there is a total amount earned by husband and wife, and they decide together how to spend it.
I think this is the most correct thing, and this is exactly how it is in my family.
But each person determines what is convenient for him. There are my closest relatives: the woman works three jobs, and the man works two jobs, and goes fishing for two days. But he takes three thousand from his wife for fishing. It is impossible to convince them that this is wrong. They see this in their parents and repeat this model in the family.
Is it possible to prevent violence?
Certainly! Here you immediately need the help of medical workers and the police. You should not tolerate violence against yourself, be sure to call the hotline. You can also contact a help center or shelter, where legal advice will be provided.
It is important to understand that you are a victim and should not tolerate bullying. In addition, psychologists recommend preparing for an attack, analyzing your behavior - perhaps you are provoking the rapist. It is very important to be independent from the rapist - in housing and financial matters.
It is not recommended to watch scenes with violence. Nowadays there are quite a lot of shocking, sharp images and computer games with murders. Over time, aggression can go beyond what is permitted.
It is also very important to carefully approach the issue of raising a child - to try in every way to protect him from the media, to protect him from various unpleasant situations. Parents should closely monitor the affairs and interests of their children:
- Do not allow watching films with blood or murder.
- Be patient with children.
- Set specific boundaries for behavior.
The meaning of the word "violence"
This definition connects premeditation and the actual commission of an act of violence, regardless of its outcome. The inclusion of the words “use of power” in the definition expands the traditional understanding of the nature of a violent act by including in the concept of violence actions the source of which is power over a person, that is, threats and intimidation.
Globally, violence kills more than 1.5 million people every year. For every violent death, there are dozens of hospitalizations, hundreds of emergency room visits, and thousands of doctor visits. In addition, violence often has lifelong consequences for victims' physical and mental health and their interactions with others, and can also slow economic and social development.
According to the official WHO position, the causes of violence are partly due to biological and other personal factors that predispose a person to aggression, but more often such factors interact with family, community, cultural and other external factors and thus create a situation in which violence occurs.
Violence is the leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 45. On Earth, 14% of men and 7% of women die annually from violent causes—more than 1.6 million people. These figures mean that every minute in the world a person dies as a result of an attack. According to WHO, every 40 seconds someone on Earth dies by deliberately committing suicide. 35 people are killed every hour as a result of armed conflict. Over the last century, the total number of deaths in wars and local conflicts is 200 million. At the same time, for every one killed in armed conflicts, there are another 40 people who received injuries of varying severity and require serious treatment. At the same time, domestic violence is no less evil. According to statistics, half of all murdered women were killed by former or current husbands or lovers. In some countries this figure is closer to 70%. One in four women around the world suffers from sexual violence throughout their lifetime.
