MONTHS OF THE YEAR AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2010, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Domestic violence is among the topical and signifi cant social problems of the modern age. While the issue has been discussed in Western Europe and the United States for a long time, in Bulgaria it has long been passed over in silence. From a legislative point of view, some initial steps have been made in 2005, but little scientifi c researches has been conducted on the issue. The present article displays the results from a research on the distribution of the acts of domestic violence related to the months of the year. Data for the aggressive acts are from the Foundation Association “Animus” and includes 1520 days within 5-years period (1998-2002). The highest levels of domestic violence are observed in the colder part of the year – the months December, February and March and the lowest – during the warm months August, May and June. The comparative analysis revealed some signifi cant differences between the months of the year. According to the authors the reasons for the observed differences have mostly socio-economical and psychological character, but climate affects this phenomenon too.
