Caddo Correctional Center Booking Photos September 21st-27th

This week, 72 people were booked in to Caddo Correctional Center for various crimes.

During the week, many of those booked were picked up on domestic violence charges.

Domestic violence is best understood as a pattern of abusive behaviors–including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion–used by one intimate partner against another (adult or adolescent) to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. Batterers use of a range of tactics to frighten, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, often injure, and sometimes kill a current or former intimate partner.

Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, is a serious and widespread problem. In the United States, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience contact sexual violence,* physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime and report negative impacts such as injury, fear, concern for safety, and needing services (CDC, 2017). Domestic violence can happen to anyone regardless of employment or educational level, race or ethnicity, religion, marital status, physical ability, age, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. However, the burden of domestic violence is not shared equally across all groups, with women and many racial/ethnic and sexual minority groups being disproportionately affected.

* Contact sexual violence includes rape, being made to penetrate, sexual coercion, and/or unwanted sexual contact.

Several others were booked on charges of child abuse/neglect.

Young children experience the world through their relationships with parents and other caregivers. The quality of these relationships and the environment in which they develop, play a significant role in a child's development. Parents and caregivers can:

• Set aside time each day to talk or play with your child.
• Establish routines. Children feel secure when the environment is structured for them.
• Validate your child's feelings and offer physical and emotional support.
• Know who is supervising your child when they're outside your home.
• Teach your child how to stay safe when they're online or on digital devices.
• Seek parenting skill training programs to help build stronger relationships with your children.

Raising children can be challenging—ask for help when needed. Reach out to babysitters, family members, or close friends. Discuss your concerns with your child's doctor. Also consider finding out if your community offers support groups or programs for parents and caregivers.
