Domestic Abuse / Domestic Violence
Summary
Domestic Abuse is a 'hidden crime', a crime that occurs behind closed doors when often there are no witnesses. It is also a personal crime, one which people who experience it, are often reluctant to confide in others including family and friends. Domestic abuse does not discriminate across religious or socio-economic groups or lifestyles.
