What are the different forms of intimate partner violence?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Violence--the intentional physical harm of another person--that occurs between these people includes overt physical violence such as hitting, slapping, kicking, punching, and choking. Throwing objects at another person is also physical violence. In short, any intentional physical harm that results in pain is physical violence. When it comes to intimate partners, however, physical violence may not encompass all the harm done. For example, yelling at and verbally degrading a partner may also be seen as violent--or at least as emotional abuse. The transcript from Mel Gibson’s phone conversation is, quite likely, indicative of emotional abuse. This emotional form of violence also includes threats of harm, restraint of normal activities or freedom, and denial of access to resources. Violence within intimate relationships can also be sexual in nature. Sexual violence includes unwanted sexual contact, sexual coercion, and rape.
