What is Domestic Violence?

Crimes included in domestic violence include assault, battery, stalking, rape, and homicide. The crime usually involves violence committed against one spouse by another. It can also include children, siblings, parents, same-sex partners, and members of the same household. Most often, domestic violence takes the form of spousal abuse or battery, which involves pushing, slapping, shoving, punching, kicking, cutting, or burning.

Often times, depending on prior circumstances, a small family dispute can lead to a serious matter when the police are called. If there is a second offense, assault to a family member can go from being a one-time charge of a misdemeanor to a felony. Without a good criminal defense attorney, it can be difficult to get a charge of assault on a family member dismissed. Such felony charges can lead to jail or prison time, the potential loss of all rights to your children, or the right to be around certain family members.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, between 1998 and 2002 there were almost 3.5 million crimes of domestic violence committed in the U. S. of which 49% were crimes against spouses.
