Not long ago, Stadtlander was charged with selling liquor without a license.He said when a guest asked for wine at a dinner in December, he provided two bottles from his private stock. But the customer turned out to be an

12、 undercover Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer who returned a few days later along with four armed officers to seize 83 bottles of wine, and to search the farmhouse for records. The punishment could run as high as $100,000 in fines and a year in jail.When Mr. and Mrs. Smith arrived at the farm

13、on a weekend before Christmas they said that it was their annual celebration and asked if they could get some wine. Nobuyo, Stadtlanders wife, told them the policy was that guests provide their own.Given the occasion, though, Stadtlander agreed to provide a bottle of white wine from his own cellar,

14、at cost, as a favor. Later, Mr. Smith asked for a second bottle and a detailed receipt that included the price of the wine. He turned out to be OPP Detective Paul Smith and his wife, an assistant who went as a witness.I was shocked, Nobuyo Stadtlander recalls. How could they do this to us when we di

19、 out of every 100 American couples haveviolent confrontations of one sort or another during the course of a year. In six of these cases there is severe kicking,biting, punching or hitting with objects.Almost four of every 100 wives are seriously beaten by their husbands. Three of every 100 children

20、are kicked or punched by their parents. More than a third of all brothers and sisters severely attack each other. As expected, the incidence of violence is highest among the urban poor (many of them minorities), blue-collar workers, people under 30 or without religious beliefs, families with a husba

21、nd who is jobless and those with four to six children. But the study also showed that violence occurs among wealthy families as well. Indeed, the wife of a university president once quietly called Straus, one of the sociologists who conducted the study, to ask what she could do about her husband, wh

22、o often beat her. Straus suggested seeking assistance from marriage advisors. straus ana his coueagues touna out that there are various root causes that give rise to such behavior. The reasons are mixed-psychological, sociological,situational, says Straus. The husband, for example, may feet under pa

23、rticular stress because he has been out of work too long. Violence may also be an echo of the past, Straus explains. When Mummy gives her two-year-old a slap(EX) for putting something dirty in his mouth, he is learning from infancy that those who love you hit you. Another reason may be the worsening

24、 economic situations. If we have a real economic decline, its going to get worse, says Gelles, one of Straus colleagues. These sociologists have no easy answer to violence in the American family.While they welcome such move as the opening of shelters for beaten wives and the establishment of a Natio

25、nal Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, they believe that there must be more basic attack on violence, including the reduction of macho(大男子主义的)themes on the television, the outlawing of physical punishment in schools and perhaps even the elimination of death sentences. As Straus explains, Violence i
