Domestic violence often refers to violence between spouses, or spousal abuse but can also include cohabitants and non-married intimate partners. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexes and classes. Domestic violence is perpetrated by both men and women.  Domestic violence can be in the forms of psychological, emotional, physical, sexual or financial abuse.
