Abstract

Domestic violence has become one of the possible areas which can reduce the work force of a country. This paper presents a numerical modelling of domestic violence by using a continuous model for its spread. A modelling technique of abusive, susceptible and violence victims, similar to the susceptible, infectious and recovered model in epidemics, is used for the formulation of the spread of domestic violence as a system of differential equations. Data used were collected from Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) in Tamale and was analysed by using MATLAB software. The study revealed that the population of Domestic Violence Victims is limited.
