Scanning - Abuse

I have researched into child abuse & neglect and domestic abuse in relationships (men and women)

Here is my first screenshot. I was scanning for facts for the effect on relatives who have witnessed domestic abuse, to which I came across statistics in the 3^rd paragraph on this screenshot. This piece of information will be useful when I compare the statistics and responses between domestic abuse against men and women. I quickly found this information by scanning the page for specific key words such as ‘’experience’’, ‘’women’’ and also figures.

My second screenshot, also taken from the guardian, was taken as it raises concern as to the increase in women who have been convicted of abuse. Like my previous screenshot, I scanned the page for specific words finding within the first couple of paragraphs the reasons why abuse towards men is not as taken serious as the abuse towards women.

I have chosen to research into child neglect and its effects in order to provide me with more information supporting my other research into domestic abuse in relationships, regardless of gender. I scan read this page for key words such as ‘’behaviours’’,’ cause’’ and also ‘’affect/effect’’.
