What is domestic violence?
Domestic Violence is a pattern
of behavior that is used to gain power and control over one's intimate
partner, and it can occur in both dating and marital relationships. The
violence can be in the form of physical injury, but it may also be in
the form of threats, isolation, sexual assault, and emotional abuse.
