Introduction
Background
Generally, domestic violence is defined as an act of violence committed by an individual towards
another in a domestic setting (McQuigg, 2011).
The question of domestic violence has for a long time been a point of focus by different social
activist groups as well as an interest topic of studies which seek to explore various features of the
domestic violence pandemic. No matter the view, domestic violence has extensive effects on its
victims including both long-term and short-term effects and tends to affect persons, “...of all
ages, races, genders, and sexual orientations” (Alejo, 2014).
Recent researches indicate that both men and women have got probabilities of being victims of
domestic violence. However, women tend to sustain more long-term health problems due to
domestic violence compared to men (Alejo, 2014).
With regard to the effects of domestic violence, the question that therefore takes precedence is,
“what are the factors that trigger domestic violence?” and if there are any factors, do the victims
condone the acts of violence and why?
In their paper on the factors that lead to domestic violence, (Aziz, et al., 2018) propose that such
factors can be classified into perpetrators factors which are inclusive of factors such as substance
abuse, Temperamental Attitude, “Witnessing Family Violence, etcetera and victim factors

including Possession of resources, Positive Attitude toward Beating Women as well as
dysfunctional communication” (Alejo, 2014)
Objective
This study mainly seeks to conduct a qualitative research on the factors that prompt the
occurrences of domestic violence towards women. In addition, it will utilize the conceptual
framework of the previous research hence, in this study we seek to examine the association
between substance abuse (alcohol) and intimate partner violence as well as the effects of
domestic violence to different persons.
Thus to address the research objective, the following questions will be answered:
i. Is there an association between substance abuse and domestic violence?
ii. How does domestic violence affect different persons?
Methodology
Research Design
Grounded theory
Given that this research concerns itself with the examination of the relationship between two
factors, it is bound to develop theories during the research process. Therefore, it adopts the use of
the grounded theory research design which allows for the emergence of theories from the data
which will be collected (ASTALIN, 2013). Thus, we will not begin the analysis with any theory
or hypothesis but are expected to develop some by the end of the data analysis.
Data and Materials
Ideally, the research will conduct analysis using secondary data obtained from approximately 10
research reports related to this study’s research topic. The reports include:
