Abuse
2. Power/Control
3. Victim
There is no one particular type of person who is a victim of domestic violence. Fact: Nearly 1 in 3 women experience at least one physical assault during adulthood.
Domestic Violence is a pattern of coercive behavior intended to exert control and domination over the victim.
Abusive incidents usually escalate in frequency and severity and can result in serious physical injury, disablement, or death Slide3
