Sociology
It is difficult to ascertain the true extent of domestic violence because:
there is a large ‘dark figure’ of unreported incidents
the changing definitions of legal categories have made it harder to convict offenders
researchers are not allowed access to official statistics
there is no valid or reliable way of researching such a sensitive topic
there is a large ‘dark figure’ of unreported incidents
The family is not always a place of relaxation, comfort and security; sociologists also refer to the ‘dark side’ of the family that is shown by domestic violence and sexual abuse. Measures of the extent of domestic violence vary, according to the criteria that are used and how behaviours are defined, and so it is difficult to ascertain the true extent of the problem. There is also a large ‘dark figure’ of unreported incidents, due to the fear of repercussions and the shame and embarrassment that some victims (especially men) feel. 480-482
