- Abstract
The phenomenon of domestic violence now seems to be a "trend" and has become a concern in the social community. This issue is difficult to explain who the perpetrator is or who the victim is. Violence occurs not only physically but also in sexual, economic and emotional forms. This situation causes the victim to feel helpless and always live in fear. Thus a study on domestic violence was conducted to identify the level of knowledge of respondents on this issue. This study uses quantitative design through survey method. The study involved a total of 200 respondents in the state of Ipoh who were randomly selected using simple sampling techniques. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires. Data obtained through questionnaires were collected, coded and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22 software. The analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis to measure the mean score and standard deviation. The results show that the respondents have a high level of knowledge. However, domestic violence is increasing every year due to the lack of public exposure to the rights that can be fought for if a person experiences domestic violence. All parties such as family, parents, friends, NGOs and the government need to play their respective roles by spreading awareness and understanding among family members and the community to jointly deal with cases of domestic violence.
