Domestic Violence Paper |
Project Description
Course Outcomes and the Applied Final Project
As a result of completing the final project, students will demonstrate their ability to:
- Distinguish among the complexities and multifaceted nature of domestic violence to assess institutional, community, and individual responses;
- Apply knowledge of research and theory of domestic violence to identify the scope of the issue within society and dispel commonly held misconceptions;
- Locate and evaluate resources relevant to domestic violence issues in order to effect social change.
Throughout this course, we have been examining the Pulitzer prize winning series by the Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., “Till Death Do Us Part.” http://postandcourier.com/app/till-death/index.html
Applying the concepts, theories and content that you have learned in this course, write a paper that evaluates how accurately and thoughtfully the series addresses the issues of intimate partner violence, homicide, institutional, community and individual responses.
Step 1

- Evaluation of how accurately and thoughtfully the series addresses the issue of intimate partner violence and homicide based on what you have learned throughout this course.
- Some suggested topics to cover:
- What are some of the characteristics of the abusers who are discussed?
- What were some of the dynamics of domestic violence in the cases presented?
- What was the effect on the children who witnessed the violence?
- What challenges were present in South Carolina in addressing domestic violence? Are these challenges unique to South Carolina or present elsewhere in other jurisdictions?
- How did the system (police, courts, legislature, etc.) respond to the problem?
- How did the community respond to the problem?
- What did you like most about the series? What did you like least about the series?
