domestic abuse

Read a random definition: stare decisis et non quieta movere

A quick definition of domestic abuse:

Domestic abuse is when someone hurts or scares someone else who lives with them, like a family member or partner. This can be physical, like hitting or pushing, or emotional, like yelling or threatening. It's never okay for someone to hurt or scare another person, and there are people who can help if this is happening to you or someone you know.

A more thorough explanation:

Domestic abuse, also known as domestic violence, is the use of physical force or emotional manipulation by one member of a household against another. This can include spouses, parents, or other family members.

Examples of domestic abuse include:

  • Physical violence, such as hitting, slapping, or choking
  • Emotional abuse, such as controlling behavior, verbal insults, or threats
  • Sexual abuse, such as unwanted touching or rape

Domestic abuse can have serious consequences, including physical injury, emotional trauma, and even death. It is important to seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse.

For example, if a husband hits his wife during an argument, this is considered domestic abuse. Similarly, if a parent threatens to harm their child if they do not obey, this is also domestic abuse. These examples illustrate the use of physical force and emotional manipulation within a household, which is the definition of domestic abuse.
