Topic and statistical method i. The contribution of drug abuse on domestic violence The research paper will focus on the relationship between drug addiction and domestic violence. ii. Linear regression and correlation The paper will use linear regression and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. II. Statement of the problem Substance abuse causes adverse effects that may eventually lead to domestic violence. Domestic violence may involve emotional, psychological, sexual or physical abuse. Even though substance abuse is not the only cause of domestic violence; it is suspected that substance abuse increase cases of domestic violence. The research paper will use linear regression model and Pearson product-moment correlation to assess the relationship between the two factors. III. Review of the Literature i. Substance abuse increases aggression. The study indicates that 15% to 20% of people who abuse substances become very aggressive during a husband to wife violence and can slap or push their partners (Klostermann, 2006). Further, about 60% of the men who abuse substances are reported to involve in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) (Klostermann, 2006). ii. Women are the most affected during domestic violence resulting from substance abuse According to Stalans & Ritchie (2007), approximately 5.9 million physical assaults and rape cases are reported in the United States. The victims are mostly women, who are abused by their current or previous partners.

All these types of violence are related to substances abuse. iii. Domestic violence in minority groups Most members of the minority groups live in poverty and lead miserable lives. Their lifestyles become worse due to challenges of racial discrimination, stressful environment, low wages and lack of employment. Such people are likely to turn to drugs and substances abuse and are reported to have a high rate of aggression. iv. Men suffering Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their relation to domestic violence The study indicates that 50% to 70% of men suffering from SUDs are involved in intimate partner violence (IPV). About 20% to 30% of them have been involved in severe intimate partner violence. A study by Capezza, Schumacher, & Brady (2014) indicates that males who experience relapse are three times more likely to be involved in domestic violence as compared to those who are sober. IV. Conclusion The research paper will use the gathered statistical evidence to come to a conclusion on the connection between domestic violence and substance abuse. Additionally, the level of connection will be discussed. 4 THE CONTRIBUTION OF DRUG ABUSE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE References Capezza, N., Schumacher, E., & Brady, B. (2014).

I.

Topic and statistical method
i.

The contribution of drug abuse on domestic violence

Substance abuse and domestic violence are closely interlinked on various grounds both in people's
mind and scientifically. It is a common belief that substance abuse plays a significant role in the
escalating numbers of domestic violence in the current society. Different studies conducted have
shown that there is a correlation between substance abuse and the current emerging domestic
violence issues. High rates of substance abuse by various individuals have resulted in the increased
levels of domestic violence. This is a more clear indication that substance abuse and domestic
violence are interrelated actions which should be addressed together. Therefore this research paper
will aim at creating an understanding of drug addiction and domestic violence levels.
ii.

Linear regression and correlation

It is important to choose an effective statistical method in order to obtain reliable and valid
statistical data. Since the study hopes to understand the contribution of substance abuse on
domestic, the most appropriate statistical method to employ should be able to effectively provide
a clear picture on how the two variables are related. Therefore the study will use linear regression
and the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Linear regression analysis is the
commonly used statistical tool in obtaining a predictive analysis of a given set of variables. The
regression estimates obtained can describe a given set of data and proved a valid interpretation of
the relationship between the dependent and independent variable in the study.
The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is a measure of the existing strength between
a given set of data. Thus it shows the association between two variables on at least an interval
scale. In this case, the two variables are the substance abuse variable and domestic violence

variable. Therefore the two statistical methods will provide a very accurate result regarding the
study problem.
II.

Statement of the problem

Substance abuse has numerous effects on the users tend to act their influence thus being capable
of performing very many unseen and unheard of atrocities under the influence. One of the adverse
effects that substance abuse can lead to is domestic violence and in recent times there have been
