ANS: The most common form of violence committed against women in the United States, intimate partner violence includes physical, mental, emotional, verbal, or economic power used by one partner against the other partner in a romantic relationship. Although men are the primary perpetrators and women are the primary victims of this form of violence, research suggests that gender is a more important factor than sex; both men and women who abuse their partners have strong masculine tendencies.
