Why do victims of abuse blame themselves?
Abusers often manipulate the victim to make them believe that everything is their fault. The guilt is unjustified, but it sometimes takes a long time for them to realize and come to terms with. You should be very sensitive to a victim who is in this position, and give them the reassurance that they deserve. This is not their fault, and the abuser wants this reaction to convince the victim to go back with him.
The power relationship between the abuser and the victim?
The victim has no power or they would not be abused. The abuser always has the control. Children and the elderly are victimized often in society as well as men and women. The abuser will start out by abusing psychologically and 'put down' their victim until they leave their victim confused with no self confidence. The abuser may threaten to leave their victim (this is terrifying to the elderly); leave the wife and take the children; talk of killing the victim or anyone that is close to them. The abuser often isolates their victim so their victim has no family or friends to turn too and they have to suffer in silence and depend on their abuser.
Should perpetrators of domestic violence be prosecuted without the victim's consent?
Yes. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, not the victims. Whether or not the victim wants the crime prosecuted is irrelevant. If the crime has been committed, there is enough evidence to prosecute, and it is in the public's interest to curb this type of crime, the crime should be prosecuted. Additionally, in the area of domestic violence battery particularly, there is an emotional involvement between the victim and the defendant. In this area, perhaps more than any other area, the defendant "gets to" the victim and discourages cooperation at an alarming rate. Often, when the victim refuses to cooperate with authorities, and the case is not prosecuted, the victim is attacked again later by the same defendant.

Where can you get help for men who were sexually assaulted?
Often society does not realize just how many men can be sexually assaulted and therefore information seems to be hidden from the victim. The best place for a male victim of assault to go too is a psychologist and the victim should not be embarrassed to go because psychologists deal with not only female assaults, but also male assaults and it is a great trauma to that person so psychological counseling is a must.
Why would a prosecutor call the victim?
Often the prosecutor would call before court to determine how best to question the victim and to determine how the victim will present themselves in court. The prosecutor might also call to get the victim's input on a plea bargain or settlement offer. Since the prosecutor is representing the interest of the victim, they may wish to talk for any number of reasons.
