Domestic violence is a pervasive and serious social issue that involves the physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual abuse of individuals within a domestic or intimate relationship. This form of violence can occur between partners, spouses, family members, or household members, and often involves a pattern of controlling behavior aimed at asserting power and control over the victim. Research in the area of domestic violence focuses on understanding the prevalence, causes, consequences, and risk factors associated with this type of abuse. Scholars and researchers in this field also examine the effectiveness of interventions and prevention strategies aimed at reducing domestic violence and providing support and resources for victims. Overall, research in domestic violence aims to raise awareness, improve understanding, and ultimately work towards eliminating this destructive and harmful behavior within relationships and households.
