Picture/Photo of United Daily News "It's not just a domestic violence problem, it's a social violence problem as a whole." Liu,Yi-Rong, associate professor of the Department of Gerontological and Long-Term Care Business at Fooyin University, said that from January to June this year, various types of protection cases have grown. In addition to the epidemic factor, it can also be seen that Taiwan is very Chaos and violence are not only in the home, various forms of violence will help each other, "our society is sick." Liu,Yi-Rong, said that statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare show that violence has spread at all levels, including verbal, physical, and online violence, and it is not only upper-to-lower, respectful and inferior, but also lower-to-superior and inferior to respect. The people can now indulge and curse people openly. Taiwan is about to become a country lacking rationality and law. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, in addition to the increase in child abuse and elder abuse notifications from January to June this year, notifications of all types of protection cases have increased over the same period last year. Intimacy violence grew by 5.9%, child protection cases grew by 10.9%, and violence among other family members grew by 2.4%. The abuse of relatives by lowly relatives is the most obvious growth among all kinds of cases. According to the age of the victim, the growth rate is 36.5% for those over 65 and 42.2% for those under 65. . The most neglected corner of society in the epidemic is that in addition to child abuse, the other ethnic group is the elderly. The Department of Protection Services of the Ministry of Health and Welfare said frankly that the sharp increase in reports of abuse of respected relatives by humble relatives is more worrying. This may be due to the increase in the number of gnawing elders, shell-less snails, and moonlight people. Elder abuse is often accompanied by factors such as financial needs. It may be related to factors such as the epidemic's destruction of the economy of all walks of life and reduced income. Assistant Professor Tsai,Chia-Chun of the Department of Nursing at Fooyin University believes that the epidemic has a greater impact on disadvantaged families. Although some are not unemployed, they have to face the pressure of class adjustment, class reduction, unpaid leave, or even a change of work style to work at home. Increased time spent together is also a risk factor for violence. Tai, Shih-Mei Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, said that the internal control factors that trigger domestic violence include the usual interactions between family members. During the epidemic, the already tight care pressure cooker may be lifted, while urban and rural families face different external control pressures. On the whole, family pressure in metropolitan areas is generally greater than in rural areas.
