Hi,

I am revising from the AQA book. Domestic violence.. do you include all of the theoretical perspectives and a load of feminism.
Do you think Family policies or Family diversity can come up? sorry that I keep asking you this lol

I don't see how domestic violence can come up as a 24-mark question due to the fact the subject isn't substantial enough. It could only be part of a question surely? Id on't know, maybe I just haven't learnt it enough - but I keep hearing (or reading) people say that it's coming up so I think I should research it Lol.

I think its unlikely that a question would come up on domestic violence alone as it is a small part of the subject with about 3 case studies in it :/

Though it could easily be the (9 mark?) question. They could ask a type of question such as 'assess the contribution of feminism to the changes in family structure in recent decades'.

That would be an evil question :/ but you could obviously put about how feminists drew attention to the the issue of domestic violence. Linking it back to the question with 'which makes divorce and seperation easier and with less social stigma attached, therfore resulting in an increase of single parent families'.
