behavior used by one person to control or
overpower another person in an abusive
relationship.
Domestic Violence is physical, psychological,
sexual, and/or economic abuse carried out
against an intimate partner or family member.
Terrorism, fear, degradation, exploitation, and
violence are used to instill fear in the victim in
order to enforce obedience.
Domestic Violence battering is the leading
cause of injury to women in the United States.
