A historical perspective on how alcohol and family violence have been impacted by legislative changes. Alcohol is contained in the world; its use is acknowledged and optimistic. Is a disease and is something that needs to be recognized in the world today and needs to be treated as soon as it can. There are programs out there to help family members, friends and even co-workers to show how they can help someone that is dealing with the disease of alcoholism and try to be able to break the chain of alcoholism. Alcoholism disease on children can impact that child life in many different ways. Family Violence Is not something anybody should have to go through or even have children be a witness to it. The laws have changed to help people out there that might be going through a time like this. “Domestic violence has been one of the most concerned issues for the authorities. Due to the complexities that it faces it is more difficult to report and control the problems. The domestic violence could be of any kind be it the child abuse, stalking, elderly abuse, intimate partner violence.
For a very long time the courts and police have not intervened in any of the above situation especially the child abuse and they were reluctant because most people made them stop by referring to the problem as family issue. And they were unable to do anything.
