Since 109, the new crown pneumonia has ravaged the world. While we are paying attention to the development of the epidemic, many social issues are often ignored. What is the appearance of domestic violence under the epidemic?
Tai, Shih-Mei, a teacher in the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, pointed out that in addition to personal factors, domestic violence in Taiwan is also influencing factors such as the traditional patriarchal culture and the pressure of life care. Domestic violence is inherently a very complicated phenomenon. The addition of epidemic factors has made domestic violence more challenging for individuals and society. From a personal perspective, the relationship between people has become closer. Some families may get along with each other longer, and on the contrary, there will be more disagreements and other problems. These situations may lead to domestic violence.
Lu Ting, a psychologist at the Taipei Xinsi Psychiatric Clinic, said that domestic violence is related to the intimacy between partners. In addition to spouses, parents also have violence against their children. A person's violent tendency can be caused by his own impulse or the shadow he received during his growth. There are many complicated factors and contexts behind the violent behavior.
Care and emotional expression problems caused by the epidemic
Tai, Shih-Mei pointed out that the impact of the epidemic may change the work content of a family's main caregiver. The main caregiver who bears the brunt is usually the one who must bear the responsibility of housework. In addition, because foreign workers are restricted from entering the country due to the epidemic, there are fewer people who can help share the pressure of care, and the weight of life care will be concentrated on those who are mainly responsible for the family. In other words, the epidemic keeps people at home and is forced to keep their distance from outsiders. At the same time, housework may become more frequent. Under the heavy pressure of care, when the physical and mental pressure is not cathartic, the main family caregivers may feel the pressure. If you vent to other family members who live with you, violence against your children or your spouse may occur.
Furthermore, the policy of the epidemic calls for people to go out as little as possible, forcing people to spend a long time at home, and perpetrators who have violent tendencies or whose work is affected by the epidemic and produce violent behaviors, usually have other channels or social circles to relieve themselves. Relieving life and emotional stress, but because the epidemic has nowhere to vent, domestic violence occurs. Lu Ting’s long-term observation results show that most of the cases who come to the clinic for help are violence between spouses. The victims are reluctant to leave not only because they can get used to the pain, but also believe that the violence of the perpetrator was not intentional, but only temporary. If I care about and take care of him more, he will be healed", "He is very pitiful and I can't leave him" thoughts. Not only that, the victims often cannot bear to leave their children in order to give their children a so-called sound family. They may also have to choose to stay because of their unstable financial situation and lack of ability to earn a living, resulting in the victims still trapped by the perpetrator. In the clutches.
Correlation between domestic violence data and the epidemic
The statistics show that there were more than 160,000 domestic violence cases in 108, and the number rose to more than 170,000 the following year. From the data, it can be seen that domestic violence cases in 109 did have an upward trend. However, Tai, Shih-Mei reminded to think carefully about the relationship between domestic violence data and the epidemic. From the data, it is difficult to conclude that domestic violence data is directly related to the epidemic. The main reason is that the problem of domestic violence usually exists, and the nature of domestic violence still does not With change, people who are violent will have the possibility of violence. The epidemic only further catalyzes the frequency and opportunity of domestic violence.
Tai, Shih-Mei believes that most of the reasons for domestic violence in Taiwan are related to the inability of individuals in Asian culture to be completely separated from their families. In Asian culture, individuals interact closely with families and frequent contacts, coupled with the indoctrination of traditional concepts. Easily abandon the family, so when a domestic violence occurs in a family, the victim may also be emotionally blackmailed by the perpetrator. In the epidemic, when victims face pain and violence, they often choose to be forbearing. Coupled with cultural constraints and other factors (children, financial ability), they are unwilling to seek help from others in the first place. Many domestic violence cases are therefore affected. Hidden; However, after a long time of accumulation, the victims still cannot bear the long-term harm of violence, and domestic violence cases and phenomena have surfaced one after another.
What we usually need to pay attention to is how to solve the various difficulties in people's lives and improve their psychological quality and resistance to stress.
Domestic violence prevention measures
When faced with domestic violence, a family may not have the ability to deal with it. If timely intervention and assistance from the government, social resources and the operation of the welfare and education system, it will help to actively deal with and pay attention to domestic violence.
Tai, Shih-Mei pointed out that domestic violence is a disease, not just a crime. The perpetrators may be awakened to their violent factors due to various situations. The epidemic is one of them. When the epidemic causes structural unemployment, some livelihoods are affected, and if an individual has never had such experience and cannot stand such pressure, the gene of violence may be awakened. At this time, the epidemic can be used as a test to check whether a person’s attitude is healthy. element.
Tai, Shih-Mei believes that from the perspective of crime prevention, one should pay attention to factors such as physical and mental health problems when a person is a child, and whether the social environment is friendly or not. Taking the responsibility of living care caused by the epidemic as an example, it is recommended that the public should be aware of such problems and accumulate care capital as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of domestic violence caused by care problems.
