3) Further to point 2 above, there's no absolute definition of the phrases "domestic violence" or "domestic abuse". Does a mere arguement or row between a couple constitute DV? [sic]
Actually, domestic violence is defined by the Home Office as "any violence between current and former partners in an intimate relationship, wherever the violence occurs. The violence may include physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse." Domestic violence occurs across society regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, wealth and geography.
