How is domestic violence classified?
According to the law in New York, domestic violence is a term that is used
to describe any type of abuse that takes place between two or more people
that share a personal relationship—which could include abusive action
against a spouse, a child, or even a roommate. Although this most commonly
refers to bouts of physical violence, domestic violence can take shape
in a variety of different ways.
The five most common forms of domestic violence are:
- Physical
- Sexual
- Psychological
- Emotional
- Economic
The penalties for domestic violence offenses are serious and can include
time in prison, heavy fines, and restitution to the victim. Those who
are convicted of this crime can find it difficult to obtain future employment,
apply for loans, and repair broken relationships.
Many times, domestic violence charges can be inflated or entirely fabricated.
