Domestic Violence is defined as a pattern of behavior that a partner uses to establish control over another with intimidation, fear, and threats of violence. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), “1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.”
