     Hypothesis: Do students believe that partner abuse is a problem on
college campus.

     Domestic violence spans the range of violent encounters and includes
physical assaults, sexual assaults, verbal assaults, intimidation, threats,
extreme emotional or psychological neglect and  even death.  The hypothesis of
this paper is do students believe that partner abuse is a problem on college
campus.  To find out this I will include a literary review, which will include
theories of why it might occur and prof from other sources.  Most important a
survey given out to Curry college students and its results will be included.   I
choose this topic to educate students on the violence in dating relationships.

witnessing or experiencing abuse seems of either witnessing or experience abuse
seems prevalent between men and women in abusive relationships, the exact nature
of that influence on men and women remains unclear. (Alexander, Pamela C Journal
