Physical Abuse
In domestic violence, there are three types of abuses that I would like to talk about one of which is physical abuse. This abuse in domestic violence may be used in various ways. This type of abuse is very dangerous. The beater can hit, spank, push, shove, slap, or punch the victim. Since men are a lot stronger than women, they can get very injured and may have to go to the hospital.
Physical abuse can result in death, bruises, and broken or sprained bones. When women are pregnant, the men beat the wife without caring about the child because he is jealous of the baby. This may cause the woman to have health problems because the baby may die and she might get severely injured.

Sometimes batterers will use physical abuse to restrain the victim from doing something he/she does not want to. Many victims do not own an occupation because their partner does not want him/her to be out in public. If the victim does own a job, then the batterer will take the money from him/her because he/she needs to have full control over everything he/she does.
An Expert's Word
According to, Ola W. Barnett, a distinguished professor Emerita of Psychology at Pepperdine University and Alyce D. La Violette, Founder of Alternatives Counseling Association, “Batterers may use physical force or threats to control the woman’s ability to participate in the work place. While physical abuse allows an abuser to maintain control, economic abuse further restricts a woman’s ability to escape” (Barnett & La Violette, 27).
My Personal Opinion
As Barnett stated, the abuser really wants to maintain control over his other half. The batterer does not let the victim do anything because he wants to be in full control over what the woman does every minute of her life.
This type of abuse is extremely hurtful and disturbing. The men do not care about what the results may be, they just take their feelings and emotions out by beating the women until they cry or scream because then they feel that they have accomplished something.
