12

DEFINITION: Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone. (United State Department of Justice) NARROW THE TOPIC: What causes family or domestic violence? Who are the victims? Can a family move beyond it or it is something that could possibly recur? What kind of help is available? How does the law view partner and child abuse? Murder is often the outcome of the domestic violence.

Many of these periodicals can be scholastic or popular in nature. It is east to tell them apart in print format.

Volume # can easily be identified in the citation of articles. You can also follow the criteria explained in the following table to differentiate between magazine and journal articles in print as well as online format. Criteria Scholarly Journal Popular Magazine Audience Scholars, professors, researchers, students. General reader. Appearance Attractive but with a serious look.
