Description

Definition
Domestic violence Violence is any act or intended act of a household member against another member for the purpose of causing psychological or physical harm or any other types of pain and abuse.

It is worth mentioning that other sources use terms like abuse, assault, and aggression and other terms and concepts to describe different types of violence and harm-causing.
