Additional Description

Introduction [excerpts]

The last time domestic violence in the military made major headlines in the United States was in the summer of 2002 when four soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, killed their wives in a six-week period. What was not in the headlines, however, is the fact that domestic violence is a problem in the military every day of the year....

While the issue of civilian spouse abuse has been examined by the media since the mid-nineteen seventies, the only time that domestic violence in the military receives the attention of the media is when a military spouse has been killed by her soldier husband....

This is a problem that needs to see the light of day. The plight of military families should not be hidden from view. That is why it is important to study the communication efforts of media reporting of military spouse abuse.
