I am studying a BA honours in working with children young people and families so my case study analysis work needs to meet this degrees requirements. I am an undergraduate student so I would like you to use simple straightforward English as an undergraduate student. Also can you please use ‘English’ references and ‘English’ words in my assignment not ‘American’ please. Even though I choose an english writer to do my work this seems to be the case all the time and me telling you now will save me from giving it back to you and getting it done again and sending it for revision as I don’t have much time to that and want it to be correct the first time. Also please reference using the Harvard way throughout my work.
Also please include everything I have asked for please look at the lecture notes on and everything that links with domestic violence please include and critically analyse and don’t be too descriptive. Please look at the reading list and include them readings too. If you don’t understand anything feel free to message or call me.
Domestic violence case study
I am tired. I just returned from the solicitors. I had to fill out the forms to extend the injunction against my ex-husband, again. He will never leave me alone. I wonder if the police think it is my fault?
Today, I am in the shelter of my home, having left the women‘s refuge nine months ago. I want
to move on with my life and the lives of my children. Sometimes I wish Margareta was here to
support me as I decide what to do next. She was always there when I needed someone to talk to
at the refuge. She knew when I was crying silently in my room. The children felt safe at the
refuge , and they enjoyed going out with the other children. I could stay back and have time for
myself. That was really helpful. Maybe I will call her.
He was at our back window again. I always know when he has been there. Yesterday, the
children said he shows up at school sometimes. I should have known. He has complained to the
child welfare department that he wants to see his children. I think he just wants to get to me. It
isn‘t about them. The woman at the welfare office says that a father has the right to see his
children. I guess he went to anger management courses. What can I do?
If we have to go to court again, I hope we have the same judge as last time. She really put him
in his place. He tried to lie to her and she did not believe him. That was good. The police told me
to stay in touch with my solicitor. I will make another appointment. She knows me. She knows
the law.
Answer these questions for the case study by looking at the issues, what policies, legislations. theories, models, professionals, agencies will help.
Does anyone know him?
I guess there are men who say, ‘All right, then I’ll stop it’, or who give up at some point. And,
there are men like mine, who don’t quit. At some point you just have to hope.

• Listen to the reading from Doyle’s (1996) book, ‘The Woman Who Walked Into Doors’.
Cultural representations, challenges for professionals the implications of violence and harm being hidden
critically analyse all the issues in the case study by answering the questions given and how the issues should be addressed by also critically analysing the policies, theories, legislations, risk factors put in place to help the issue.
policy:

• Phipps 2010 states DV is seen as primarily a criminal justice issue and as an individualised crime
• But is also seen as an economic issue-’the costs of domestic violence’
• Argues that support is seen instrumentally; to secure conviction, reduce cost etc. rather than holistically
• Reinforced by stereotypical views as to who perpetrators are influenced by class and race
• Fails to acknowledge role of ‘embodied heterosexual dynamics’ and the prevalence of coercive sexual behaviour (for example constructions of ‘rape’)
• What are likely to be the consequences of this in terms of policy and what is it likely to mean for those who have experienced violence?
holes in the policy net: what are the gaps and why?
What do those who have experienced Violence want from services?
Criminal justice system: statutory agencies involved in protection from domestic violence
the barnardo’s model/ortario model
