Does capital punishment really prevent murders? Does a restraining order really prevent an ex-husband from beating his ex-wife into a bloody pulp?

All of these areas are viewed from different perspectives in different countries. Regardless of the companys location, good ...
- 535: The Problem of Domestic Violence
- ... widespread over the last couple of years is because of the O. J. Simpson trial, as one person put it "the O. J. Simpson case would do for domestic violence what Anita Hill did for sexual harassment" (Domestic V.).

- 536: Love and Rejection: Breaking Up
- ... her threats. They were just an underhanded ploy to make Tom upset. This is not a mature way of handling a breakup, which is true for most teenage heartbreak.

In severe cases, medications can help. As many as one in forty Americans have some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder.
