Define the two types of domestic violence described in the text. Which type do you think is more likely to lead to a divorce? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Situational couple violence refers to a form of abuse in which one or both partners
engage in outbursts of verbal and physical attack. Intimate terrorism refers to a very
controlling form of abuse in which one partner, usually the man, uses violent methods
of accelerating intensity to isolate, degrade, and punish the partner. Students'
answers may vary, but they should provide support for their argument. The high level
of control in intimate terrorism probably makes that type less likely to lead to divorce.
