Domestic violence
is defined as a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors. The
intent of these behaviors is for the batterer to establish power and
control over the victim. The behaviors are more than an isolated
incident. Domestic violence almost always involves various forms of
control - physical, sexual, psychological, economic, etc. Domestic
violence is not isolated to people who are married; it occurs with
dating adolescents, same sex couples and adults living together The
defining characteristic is that they share an intimate relationship.
