What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors used to establish power and control over an intimate partner, often leading to the threat or use of violence. Abuse is any controlling, hurtful act, word or gesture that injures another – either physically or emotionally.
Disagreements, marital spats or anger management problems may indicate the presence of domestic violence in a relationship but do not by themselves constitute domestic violence.
