| Abstract | ||
| Violence is a phenomenon that threatens most of the people specifically women, regardless of ethnicity and social status. Abuse in the family, on the streets, and at work is color blind to some extent. Each woman is subjected to this in patriarchal cultures. Some researchers view violence as an issue that plagues people of color, particularly African Americans. Inequalities in ethnicity, class, and gender put black people at an elevated risk for many types of victimization. Violence and injustice against African Americans are profoundly ingrained in history. African Americans, especially women, face multiple aspects of violence in their lives, including childhood sexual exploitation, intimate relationship violence, rape and sexual harassment. In the United States, the status of black women outlines many types of violence. Black women face high rates of violence, rape, and murder, even by intimate partners. Black girls and women often face institutionalized racism: they are violently punished in school, ensnared in the criminal justice system after enduring physical or sexual abuse, disproportionately exposed to racial profiling and police brutality, and imprisoned at levels well beyond their share of the population. Thus, black women specifically in their lifetime witness variable levels of physical violence. They often confront even higher rates of psychological abuse — including embarrassment, threats, name-calling, and over-control — than any other women in general. This chapter tackles the various aspects of psychology of violence that African American face specifically women and children. | ||
