Domestic abuse, or domestic violence, is defined across Government as:<\/p>\n

Any incident of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of their gender or sexuality.<\/p>\n

The safety of victims and children in addition to the defendant’s accountability are important to<\/p>\n

THE CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE (CPS)<\/p>\n

when prosecuting cases of domestic abuse.<\/p>\n

Family Members<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Family members are defined as mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister and grandparents whether directly related, in-laws or step-family.<\/p>\n

This is not an exhaustive list and may also be extended to uncles, aunts, and cousins, etc.<\/p>\n

Types Of Abuse<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Domestic abuse’ covers a range of types of abuse, including, but not limited to, psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional abuse.<\/p>\n

The term is used to describe a range of controlling and coercive behaviours, used by one person to maintain control over another.<\/p>\n

The ‘domestic’ nature of the offending behaviour is an aggravating factor because of the abuse of trust involved.<\/p>\n

Domestic abuse is rarely a one-off incident and is the cumulative and interlinked types of abuse that have a particularly damaging effect on the victim.<\/p>\n

Victim or complainant<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The CPS recognises domestic abuse to differ in severity between incidents, and more often than not, it will increase in frequency and seriousness, having a cumulative impact on the victim.<\/p>\n

The definition includes so-called ‘honour’ based violence, female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage, and is clear that victims are not confined to one gender or ethnic group.<\/p>\n

Domestic violence victims in the UK are protected by the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (DVCVA) 2004.<\/p>\n
