Intro: 1 in 3 murders against women are by their intimate partners as suggested by the Freedom
K9 Project. Abusive relationships is not a new phenomenon, and unfortunately not a thing of
the past. Many people around the world have grown up with societal norms that normalize
misogyny and place men superior to women which can lead to abuse. An abusive
behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an
intimate relationship.” Most of the time, women do not feel like they can leave their
situation. This could be helped if barriers were to be removed by the government and women
felt like they had options. This is crucial because abuse can happen to anyone and someday,
abusive relationships could be costly, it is vital that the government starts to provide funding
for these programs otherwise many women will be trapped in an abusive cycle.

The author conducted a study which gave women strategies to successfully escape abusive
relationships. The intended audience is for intellectuals. While this sources talks about, rural
areas, being a barrier, while another source talked about staying in the home after abuse. This
informs my topic, because it has to do with escaping from an abusive relationship. According
to this source, about 27% of women in the U.S. (33 million) experience some sort of sexual
violence, stalking or partner violence in their lifetime. Abused women will often make very
complex strategies for safety which are context-based; often needing to consider children,
pets, etc. Often times, being in a rural area is overlooked. Women were given strategies to
escape and all of them used at least 1 strategy given by the researchers of this study to
escape.

The author is from South Africa where this study takes place and is intended for an audience
with a higher intelligence level. This source talks about how leaving an intimate partner does
not mean the end of the relationship and how getting more awareness of shelters and social
support help women leave their abusers. This is interesting because it’s very different from
another source that talks about giving women creative strategies to leave their abusers. This
informs my topic because it provides me with a source that supports my argument. South
africa has one of the highest intimate partner violence rates in the world. For women, it
becomes a very difficult process to leave an intimate partner. Leaving an intimate partner did
not necessarily mean the end of the relationship. Awareness of shelters and social support

Diemer, K., Humphreys, C., & Crinall, K. (2017). Safe at home? Housing decisions for women
leaving family violence. Australian Journal of Social Issues (John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ),
I am not entirely sure on the credentials of the author nor the authority. The audience is for
intellectuals with a high intelligence level. This source talks about housing options for
Abused women which are essentially escape routes. This is somewhat similar to the study
that takes place in South Africa. this informs my topic on housing options for abused and
battered women. The world view on abusive relationships is for the victim to stay at home
with the abuser, and tell the abuser to just stop abusing. While this seems simple, a violent
and abusive person cannot just stop being abusive. Men who abuse women have serious
psychological issues and most often view women as below them. Because of this, we need to
provide more support for women who chooses to stay home. A study was done and found
that with the abuser removed from the house, women felt safer than if they were relocated.

The author who wrote this Source has a Ph.D and is qualified to write on the topic. the
intended audience is for Scholars and intellectuals. The source is nothing like the other
sources that I have and will prove to be very helpful for my argument. It supports having
some type of government help for Abused women. This is a study that calculates the costs of
women leaving abusive relationships and how to be better prepared financially for them. The
study accounted for six variants of an selection model to make a case of preventative and
healing support. The removal of financial restraints for women as well as supporting their
needs and removing barriers to preventative health care can reduce the costs. The study
found that providing preventative services as well as helping women financially, costs less
that trying to “pick up the pieces” after abuse already took place.

While I do not know the authority that Lynn Duffy has on this topic, I do know that the
intended audience is for a person with a college level background. The source is much like
the first source that I cited because it explores escape strategies. This source will inform
readers on all the barriers and challenges of leaving an abusive relationship and how escaping
one isn't so easy. This article takes recently single mothers who had left their abusers and
helps them create creative strategies to survive and enhance their children’s lives, as well as
their own. The source focuses on sustainability and utilizing resources. The study found that
even after leaving an abusive relationship, the abuse continued to define them as a person and
and shape their lives. These women are vastly overwhelmed by the costs of raising children
on their own. They found that the goals and aspirations of these women are quite simple: a

Farris and Holman are both college graduates from different colleges. The intended audience
is for people of similar intelligence and education level. This article is unlike the others
because this is the only one that analyzes the attitudes of the people who are supposed to help
women in these types of situations. While the other articles are mainly about escaping
abusive relationships, this one is about how police officers perceive these women. They tend
to not think of women as equal and minimize their abuse when they’re called to a scene. This
is because many police officials believe inaccurate myths regarding the abuse of women. The
problem with this is that the opinions and perceptions of police officers highly influence
policies made by government officials. This study suggests a strong connection between

Forenza and Bermea are college graduates and work in family studies as well as child
advocacy and policy. The intended audience would be people with a college education or
higher. This article is unlike unlike all other because it considers mental illness. This study
found that people with mental illnesses are more susceptible to homelessness, victimization
and suffering abuse by an intimate partner. In order to help alleviate these issues, supportive
housing was put in place. This increases positive social interactions as well as a support
system. Because of the level of mental illness, individuals experience difficulty when trying
to engage in a healthy relationship. The article notes that while people with these extreme
mental disabilities are at risk for abusive relationships, they can also exert abusive behaviors.
While the study is inconclusive on how they might develop abusive behaviors, it is clear that

The authors of the article are college students, writing their student journal. The intended
audience is other college students and possibly professors. This article is unique because it
explains possible barriers to leaving an abusive relationship, whereas the others explain
strategies to leaving an abusive relationship. Often people do not understand why women do
not “just leave”. There are many factors why they may not leave such as a shared child or a
pet. This specific article examines the technological barriers. Because of technology, it has
become hard to terminate relationships. While they may attempt to end an abusive
relationship, their abuser can still text and call them. Even if the victim were to block them
on social media and their phone, a dedicated abuser will go through great length to continue
communication such as making a new social media profile, getting a new phone number,

The authors are Australian college graduates who work in the Department of Human
Services and Health. The intended audience is for people who have the same level of
education or higher or possibly political leaders who can use this study as data for new
policies. This article is distinctive because it analyzes single mothers and financial support.
This might seem like it does not fit into my topic, but when a woman in an abusive
relationship shares a child with her abuser, she will need to support her child if she were to
leave and would possibly need outside help. Having children can be a barrier to leaving an
abusive relationship especially if the woman does not work while in the abusive relationship.
In this study, they did phone calls with single mothers and it was found that even though
some women receive an extra $250, that does not compensate for all the other extra costs of

While there were no credentials offered by the author, it can be assumed that the author has a
college education because they wrote a full journal, but it cannot be definet. The intended
audience is for college students and graduates who would be able to take and further analyze
the data. This article is similar to the “Pay Now or Pay Later” article in regards to stating that
many victims fall back into the same cycle because there is little to no financial support and
economic resources. The study found that when provided with resources and access to help,
women readily utilize these sources which allow them to increase their financial stability and
violence survivors are on the rise. These programs enable survivors to save and purchase
