Domestic violence refers to a pattern of violent and coercive behavior exercised by one adult in an intimate relationship over another. It is not a Saturday night conflict, a lovers' quarrel, or a private family matter. It may consist of repeated, severe beatings or more subtle forms of abuse, including threats and control. Surveys from the United States. and Canada indicate that domestic violence occurs in 28 percent of all marriages. Researchers believe this estimate is too low since most domestic violence incidents are unreported. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 85 percent of domestic violence victims in America are women.
