Three Types Of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a term that covers a great number of possible actions. However, you can further classify these as distinct types of violence:

  • Physical violence: Kidnapping, battery, sexual assault or anything in which a person’s body is restrained or injured
  • Emotional violence: Menacing, assault, stalking, harassment or any other action that elicits fear from someone intentionally
  • Financial violence: Withholding financial assistance or stealing shared money could be a way to unlawfully imprison a person
