Document Summary
In our society, the statistics are based entirely on the physical violence only . The reason for this is that in our society, the way the violence is defined through physical manifestation of violence. Because it is the only thing that police and society can only accept this type of violence as legal evidence, or collectable data. As a result, police are always looking for collectable data and statistic only reflect physical violence. Because statistically and legally you cannot collect data. Neglect-- it also tends to have physical manifestation in case of elderly and children. Sexual violence ( sometimes collective )-not collective especially in a marriage form. Marriage is seen as contract--singing over unlimited contest to your partner regardless whatever you want to have sex or not. In most of cases, there are no charges. Because it is very difficult to collect psychical evidences or signs.
