- Battered_woman_defense abstract "The battered woman defense is a defense used in court that the person accused of an assault / murder was suffering from battered person syndrome at the material time. Because the defense is most commonly used by women, it is usually characterised in court as battered woman syndrome or battered wife syndrome. There is currently no medical classification to support the existence of this "syndrome" in the sense used by lawyers, though it has historically been invoked in court systems. Although the condition is not gender-specific, the admission of evidence regarding battered woman syndrome as relevant the defense of self-defense is commonly understood as a response by some jurisdictions to gender-bias in the criminal law. Thus, this is a reference to any person who, because of constant and severe domestic violence usually involving physical abuse by a partner, may become depressed or unable to take any independent action that would allow him or her to escape the abuse. Often the victim's fears are based in reality, as she may lack the social support, financial means, or may be too phsyically disabled to survive on her own. Victims may have low self-esteem suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, and are often led to believe that the abuse is their fault, and, due to misplaced feelings of loyalty, may be unwilling to press charges against their abuser. There is no consensus in the medical profession that such abuse results in a mental condition severe enough to excuse alleged offenders. Nevertheless, the law makes reference to a psychological condition, even though neither the DSM nor the ICD medical classification guides as currently drafted includes the syndrome in the sense used by lawyers.".
