This article gives an overview of domestic violence which relates to my topic because it first relates domestic violence to a story that happened in North Carolina, where a woman got beaten to death by a baseball bat. It provides examples, charts, and an overview of what is domestic violence, why it happens, etc. 3. There is evidence in this article in which starts with the story, a chart explaining that a quarter of women suffer severe violence, and explanations of ideas that have and have not worked in the past. 4. I did not suspect any bias in this article. However, the charts and stories really provided good insight and scholarship on the article. 5. Article updated on November 15th, 2013 which is only a year old. It is very useful because the stories are recently new and the charts/statistics are accurate. 6. Overall, I would relate this article a 4 because it provides recent and accurate information on domestic violence. However, there was information that was not needed for my research project.

Violence in dating relationships: Emerging social issues. New York: Praeger. This book has not been checked out yet which is the reason why I will be unable to provide answers to the six evaluation questions. However, this book has to do with violence in dating relationships.
