Domestic violence is a serious problem in our society. No one has the right to intentionally inflict harm upon another person. Domestic violence is any type of abusive behavior by one partner that attempts to manipulate, dominate, and gain and maintain control over the other partner. Abuse can occur in any type of relationship such as heterosexual couples, gay and lesbian couples, common law relationships, new relationships, dating relationships, and long term relationships. Abuse takes place in all communities, ages, social classes, and cultures.
