What is Domestic Violence?

Unfortunately, it is very common in the state of Florida.

While numerous people hear “domestic violence” and instantly think of a man physically hurting a woman, it is not nearly that simple. Statistically, more women report men for the crime, but there are men whom the women in their lives abuse also.
Additionally, same-sex relationships also participate in relatively high occurrences of domestic violence.
