Abstract:

The concept of violence’s which is parallel with history of mankind causes and consequences continue to be one of the significant issues of sociological literature. Mostly the issue of violence is subject to experimental work, is continuing a dual focus, including the determination of emergence of causes and perpetrators. Although many of these studies performed with quantitative methods, the theory is not included in most of the studies and an interdisciplinary approach does not appear to apply. On the other hand, it is seen that most of the conducted studies on the subject are only made up of situational detection of the problem. Therefore, in this study as a broad social problem, violence against women is being addressed in the context of different sociological approaches and theories and micro and macro factors that influence the emergence of violence are included. Located between socialization theories; psychoanalytic theory, social learning theory, cultural transmission theory and ecological theory and gender theory among; feminism, patriarchy, masculinity and motherhood theory is used to determine the micro and macro causes of violence. In this study it is aimed to contribute emerging discussions regarding violence against women, why violence is a universal problem and why it pursues for centuries and cannot be eliminated, and how it can be eliminated. Besides, it is observed that in the studies without theoretical approaches all the aspects of violence cannot be identified and satisfactory proposals have not been developed to solve the problem. In that context, it is thought that current study will contribute design of conducted studies in the future and interpretation of obtained data.
