Family Violence Rising During The Recession
As a Houston criminal lawyer that handles assault cases I aware how it impacts the entire a family that is involved. I am troubled by stress that the economic slowdown has caused on so many families. Since the economic downturn began more than four fifths of the workers laid off have been men. Historically, men have resorted back to their alpha male ways when they feel depressed. Men have created their own domains throughout the years by resorting to bars, gyms, and even today the media room is typically the male territory. Most disturbing is that the unemployed man follows alcoholics and drug addicts as the demographic group most likely to commit family violence.
