]]> Comment on On Boston Med the joke of the night was domestic violence by Cynthia Scherer http://partnerabuse.com/2010/06/25/on-boston-med-the-joke-of-the-night-was-domestic-violence/comment-page-1/#comment-173 Cynthia Scherer Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:43:02 +0000 http://partnerabuse.com/?p=216#comment-173 Doesn't sound like you will be a fan of the 'edited for ratings' show however please consider this for a moment. The culture of the medical field is something one can't understand unless you have lived and breathed it for some time. The only way to do what we do without being traumatized repeatedly by the violence we see is to find humor in it. Again, unless you are subject to the worst society can dish out you won't be able to understand. This man's face will flash before the Doctors and Nurses eyes for days or maybe years, as will many other victims we see. The dark humor only we can share with one another still can't provide the relief we should be able to get after living through the trauma right along with each and every patient we see. The truth that only we can understand is that the dark humor is what separates us just enough from the patient so we too don't relive the event (more than a few times). We are human too. If someone were to have interrupted the giggle you referred to, the Docotor would have been reminded of her true feelings and shared the very same feeling you do, or maybe she would have felt worse because she saw the emotion on his face and the fear in his eyes. Consider that, if you can. My colleague asked me yesterday how to forget the face of the drowning victim she did chest compressions on last week. We laughed over the drunk girlfriend slapping him to wake him up. ED RN Doesn’t sound like you will be a fan of the ‘edited for ratings’ show however please consider this for a moment.

A survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a woman I have difficulty with removing clothes in front of women so asked if I could be seen by male nurses. That was refused due to no male nurses being on deck at the time. That I could cope with. However a couple of minutes later I overheard several of the nurses present discussing my request. Turned out I was the biggest joke of all time. Meanwhile, in my country of Australia, many male victims of sexual abuse have no choice but to travel thousands of kilometers and pay privately for psychologists and counsellors when their own taxes support the same services in their own neighbourhoods. Services denied them because of their gender. Services that, when contacted, call those victims liars and laugh at them.

After reading what you have posted, I am very concerned about where you are obtaining your facts from. The FBI has instituted the NIBRS as a response to the limited UCR of the past. NIBRS collects data which all crimes that occur out of one incident, not simply the most serious crime and the new reporting allows for causal connections to be made through relationships, etc. Perhaps Senators Leahy and Sessions could enlighten themselves with this more specific and concise data. To make the sweeping generalization that in the last 50 years little has been accomplished is quite disturbing. Women's shelters, programs and advocacy has grown exponentially since the 60's. Explain the UVA Lacrosse murder to me and others? Clearly, this incident and those like it scream the need for more programs educating women and men for sake of the argument about violence and how far it can go.

After reviewing this article, I am confused to the source of data and information that you put forward: 1.” VAWA programs are unique among all helping programs as they have not changed in any way in 50 years, yet society continues to evolve.” One of the first domestic violence shelters opened in the mid 70’s in PA, and the oldest Coalition (again, in PA) is only 34 years old. Any program I have witnessed personally has worked proactively to identify unmet victim need then has worked tirelessly to advocate for the resources needed to create proactive and meaningful programs, and worked to change infrastructure that is a barrier to victims. 2. “Because of VAWA, victims of domestic violence and partner abuse literally have nowhere to turn in an emergency, and allowing these programs to continue will ensure they never will. “ In the program in which I work, VAWA funds ensure a 24 live hotline operates, that trained staff are there to provide individuals victimized by partner abuse, including men, women, children, and LQBTIQA victims find resources, safety planning, and shelter. I am confused as to how you have ascertained that victims have nowhere to turn? 3. “The VAWA concept of partner abuse is only about advancing a political agenda and not at all about seeking real-world solutions for the families and people affected.” The use of the term ‘political agenda’ is interesting. I would think that anyone, regardless of political leaning or level of position in local, state, nationwide or worldwide government would want domestic violence to end. Aren’t most if not all causes ‘political agendas’ … but not in the insinuating manner that gives the impression of something darker and insidious. Please provide objective, quantifiable data to support your assertions. It appears that New Perspectives on Partner Abuse is more interested in propagating incorrect and deliberately erroneous information rather than working to end domestic violence/interpersonal violence. Misinformation of this nature is contributing to the problem, and not being a part of the solution. In closing, it is disturbing to hear an experience such as Sean Maloney’s. We know that with any crime, the rate of false report is the same … right around 2%. Any system can be utilized in a manner other than intended, but pointing to an possible exception and heralding it as the rule is foolhardy at best, and does not constitute sufficient evidence that VAWA is horribly flawed.

In addition, to the NYC police officer: I am terribly sorry that someone may have used the law against you in a way that it was not intended. Unfortunately, there are lots of people out there that use laws in ways they were never intended (people constantly use Child Protective Service Law in ways to punish and hurt people). However, as in the case of CPSL, VAWA helps many more people than it hurts. I am very saddened to see such a wonderful law attacked and for reasons I'm still not very clear on.
