Domestic Violence is a violent confrontation between family or household

those in (or formerly in) a dating relationship including homosexual couples,

Domestic Violence can include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional

- Hair pulling, biting, kicking, pushing, pinching, shoving, hitting,
choking, punching, throwing, grabbing or tripping.

- Calling names / intimidating / threatening.
- Intimidation with a weapon.
- Unwanted touching.
- Dangerous driving to intimidate.
- Forced intercourse, which is really rape.
