    Introduction
    Fairy Hill is a small community located in east Portland. It is approximately 8 miles away from
    the parish’s capital Port Antonio. In the community there isn’t a lot of big businesses, I have
    lived in this community for 14 years and there have been a few cases of Domestic Violence.
    According to Womansaid.org.uk, Domestic violence is a pattern of incidents of controlling,
    coercive, degrading and violent behavior including sexual violence.

    I have decided to investigate the knowledge of/and experience members of my community may
    have had with domestic violence.

    2
    Statement Of Problem
    1: What are the causes and effects of Domestic Violence in Fairy Hill?
    2: How does this impact the lives of the residents?
    3: What can be done to correct this problem

    3
    Reason for Selecting Topic
    The researcher chose this topic to investigate because this problem is on a rise and has caused a
    lot of harm in not only my community but the whole country. Domestic Violence damages the
    prospects for economic and social development of every country, not just the lives of the victims
    and their direct support. Over the years there has been an increase in Domestic Violence cases,
    some of which turn fatal. According to the World Health Organization 1 in 3 women globally
    suffer from abuse. Domestic Violence is more prevalent in the women at the ages of 13-55.
    Domestic abuse causes a variety of problems. I intend on finding out the causes, effects and
    possible solutions to solve this problem.

    4
    Method Of Investigation
    To investigate the problem, I have decided to supply questionnaire's, to gather information for
    my survey. It can be done at the accessibility of the persons required to complete it.
    It is classified as respondents aren’t required to state their names, and it requires little time to be
    completed.
