Domestic violence implies the kind of abuse and trauma that arises and occurs in a family setting. Domestic violence generally is connoted with physical harm and hurt, but generally, when in a relationship setting, even emotional and psychological abuse also comes under the head of domestic violence.
Domestic Violence and its forms
Generally, one partner in the relationship takes up domestic violence as part of their routine. One suffers severe damage while the other partner continues to take toll and control of their movement (Pitts, Smith, Mitchell and Patel, 2006).
