Domestic Violence<br />
“No matter which form it takes, the dynamics <strong>of</strong><br />
abuse in domestic violence situations differ<br />
significantly from other crimes. The victim is<br />

violence is common and interactions between<br />
the justice system and the victim are typically<br />
more complex than with other crimes.” Violence<br />
