Topic: Domestic Violence
Each question is about a paragraph or two. You can use outside scholarly sources to answer the questions. All you have to do is answer the questions.
Week 5: Out of the four critical steps of investigating child abuse and neglect cases, which do you think
is the most prone to being mishandled? How so?
Week 7: Is ineffective parenting dangerous to a child’s future? Explain your thoughts.
Week 9: Gender plays a significant role in perceiving and reporting instances of domestic violence. Many
people ‘gender’ the violence in LGBTI relationships; for example, they may assume that the offender in a
relationship is always the more masculine-presenting partner. However, domestic violence does not
discriminate: it can impact or be perpetrated by any person regardless of their physical or personal
attributes (e.g.. size, gender expression or age). How can this misconception be changed?
Week 11: The Family Justice Center Alliance of California is a valuable resource for family violence
intervention and prevention. Visit their website for information on offender risk assessment and a variety
of other topics. Which intervention did you find interesting? Why?
