Domestic Violence is physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, or financial abuse between present or former intimate partners. It can involve threats, pushing, punching, slapping, choking, sexual assault, shouting, name-calling, harming or threatening to harm children or pets, and other violent or intimidating behaviors. Rarely a one-time occurrence, domestic violence usually escalates in frequency and severity over time.

Abusers batter to control and dominate their partners. Violence is a behavioral choice for which the batterer must take responsibility. No language or other act is provocation or justification for violent behavior.
