ABSTRACT:
Domestic violence in general terms, refers to
incidents in which one of the family members violently acts against to another
member. It may occur between spouses, between parents and children, between
children or between children and grandparents. However,
the most frequent type of domestic violence is between male and
female partners. Since “family” is the fundamental element of society, the
reasons of domestic violence must be well-understood in
order to implement correct precautions against it. The aim of this study is to provide an evaluation of
domestic violence in the city of Zonguldak. In this respect, some important
previous studies, and some remarkable statistics on Zonguldak are reviewed
firstly. Upon that, domestic violence cases in Zonguldak city between 2009 and
2011 are investigated retrospectively.
