What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is a deliberate act. If a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, or someone you share a child with repeatedly injures you or threatens to do bodily harm to you, that is domestic violence.
Who Are the Victims?
Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence. Domestic violence happens to people from all walks of life. Victims can be any age, race, ethnic group, religious or socio-economic status. Victimization can take place in many different forms, including both heterosexual and homosexual relationships.
Who Are the Offenders?
Offenders consist of individuals of all levels, including both genders, all races, all age groupings, and all socio-economic and educational levels.
