Description

Domestic violence is something that affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men. It is a worldwide epidemic. This paper will explore the intersections of religion, politics, and domestic violence within California and Tennessee. Both states are very different in their political alignment and religious histories. California is historically a blue state with strong ties to Catholicism. Tennessee is historically a red state with strong ties to Evangelical and Protestant Christianity. We will explore the works of some authors on domestic violence and its ties to religion and politics. We will also be seeing the methods in which I would take to test for the significance and correlation between domestic violence, religion, and politics. Finally, I will talk about what I suspect to find after running correlation, chi-squared, and linear regression model tests between domestic violence, religion, and politics.

    The Complex Intersections of Domestic Violence in California and Tennessee

    Domestic violence is something that affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men. It is a worldwide epidemic.
