what does domestic violence mean?

Question

my friend wants to know

Answer 1

When spouses, intimate partners, or dates use physical violence, threats, emotional abuse, harassment, or stalking to control the behavior of their partners, they are committing domestic violence. Physical violence includes putting your hands on a person against their will. It also includes shoving, pushing, grabbing, pulling, or forcing some one to stay somewhere. Regardless of the relationship between two people, using physical violence against someone is a crime.
Very few people identify themselves as abusers or victims. They may remain silent about the issue because of the havoc that domestic violence has created in their workplace and family lives. Victims may be silent about the abuse because of embarrassment or shame, or for fear that their batterers will hurt them if they tell other people about the violence. Abusers may minimize their actions or blame the victims for provoking the violence. Both victims and abusers may characterize their experiences as family quarrels that "got out of control."

Think about the following questions to identify whether you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence. Whether you are a professional or a friend, asking these questions (in private) about domestic violence can let victims or abusers know that the door is open for further discussion and help. If you or someone you know is being abused, develop a safety plan right away even if you do not intend to separate at this time.
