Domestic Violence in New York Defined
According to the New York Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, the definition of domestic violence is, “A pattern of behavior used by an individual to establish and maintain power and control over their intimate partner.”
Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, and financial abuse. It often involves a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviors aimed at gaining power over a partner. Common signs of domestic violence include:
Hitting, slapping, choking, or any form of physical harm.
Insults, threats, intimidation, or constant criticism.
Manipulation, gaslighting, isolation from friends and family.
Controlling finances, preventing the victim from working, or stealing money.
Recognizing these signs is the first step towards seeking help and breaking free from the cycle of abuse.
