Research Identifies Protective Factors That Help Women Recover from Childhood Violence
Certain protective factors that will help women, who as children were exposed to their mothers' battering, recover from the violence have been found in a new study.
Certain protective factors that will help women, who as children were exposed to their mothers' battering, recover from the violence have been found in a new study.
In approximately 10% of all assaults resulting in treatment in the United Kingdom (UK) emergency units, glasses and bottles are used as weapons. Official UK estimates suggest that a form of glass is used as a weapon in between 3,400 and 5,400 offences per year. There is little understanding of how much force is required to create the injuries as, until now, there have been no systematic studies of how much force is required to penetrate skin with such weapons.
The study has also revealed that carrying out reconstructions of glass bottle stabbing incidents can be unreliable and may lead to a misleading approximation of force involved as glasses and bottles fracture to leave a unique stabbing surface of sharp and blunt points. This could have major implications for not only those in the field of forensics but also for anyone involved in a stabbing incident.
