Analysis Of Ray Rice Domestic Violence - 1565 Words

1. The medias interaction with victims of domestic violence is different from their interaction with victims of other types of crimes. The media tends to focus on the abuser more so than the victim, and for good reason. One reason is that they do not want to re-victimize the victim.

The fifth video, NBC News, was short and did not discuss much about the incident but instead focused on Ray Rice and how he is going to get back to playing football. What I found interesting was Janay Rice, her mom and dads body language. Janay Rice is not looking at Ray Rice at all and she is not touching him. Now to me that says a lot. If he really did make a mistake and he has not done this before and this was a one timeShow MoreRelatedDomestic Violence Among Celebrities Are More Violent Than Average Citizens1947 Words   |  8 PagesDomestic violence among celebrities Introduction Domestic violence is widely regarded as a highly contentious issue in the United States.
