Domestic Violence Explosion? Or regular seasonal mayhem?

There is no excuse for violence, only cowards beat women, where’s the dog anyway!!!!!!!!

If you don’t have a job, your ability to afford to pay the morgage and buy a tank of petrol would be severely effected no matter what the respective levels were.

That was kinda the point. I was saying that if you haven’t lost your job, times shouldn’t be tougher than normal.

Hence the curiousity about the relationship between losing ones job and involvement in domestic violence.

(I know that if I lost my job Mrs Berlina would beat the $hit out of me).

It might have something to do with unfounded name calling. I jibe you not.

Ta Ian, its not often I spot such a juicy misspelling. I usually just make them.

Well if she wouldn’t burn the f*#$ing roast every year and then not put the beer in the esky on f#$%ing ice like I told her to this wouldn’t happen would it?

Stands to reason

#12 and #13 – I think you took the comment about police morals too seriously – to me it was a pun on the misspelling of “morale”.

What do you expect when the police have such low morals too.

Wanker. Whoops, a statement based on no information whatsoever… much like yours.

Ne interesting to note whether there’s a correlation between people losing jobs (like IT contractors recently) and domestic violence. If you haven’t lost your job I wouldn’t have thought times were any tougher than normal, with falling interest rates and cheaper petrol.

Of course, some people are always living in tough times, for a variety of reasons.

Maybe the rise in violence is related to the hot weather lately?

There’s normally a spike in domestic violence over the christmas/new year period as people go on a drinking binge at home, it’s probably not helped by the economic climate and it becoming more difficult for people to get/keep a job.

Always one idiot who has to bring it off topic with an unfounded jibe at the police..

I agree with Mr Evil. It’s time the judiciary started putting people away for violent crimes ( including serial DUI’s). These 2nd, 3rd and infinitum chances they give people only encourage them as they don’t pay any consequences for their antisocial behaviour. I’m not surprised police moral is low when they go to the trouble to arrest these low lifes and then the judiciary gives them a tiny rap over the knuckles and then sends them back onto the streets to do it all again…..and again……..

I recall reading somewhere a few years ago that the murder rate actually increased in some US cities during hot weather: a grumpy bastard with a handgun is not to be provoked!

No, it couldn’t be the hot weather. Who has the energy to do anything much in hot weather?

Maybe if Cahill and his associates started putting a few violent morons away for their crimes, then the rate of domestic violence might drop?

Any statistics from the previous Christmas?

The Evil one gets the Cletus award for the correct answer – but may cop a torrent from the disciple.

Australian Cricket team begins to lose = rise in domestic violence?

Global warming?

Working Families fighting over what to spend the bonus on?

The additional stressors of defaulting on mortgages and having trouble just scraping by would also seem to be fueling this problem.
