Family violence broadly refers to acts of physical and sexual
violence and emotional abuse perpetrated by individuals against
family members. The federal government has responded to various
forms of family violence, including violence involving spouses and
other intimate partners, children, and the elderly. The focus of
this book is on the federal response to domestic violence under the
Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA). "Domestic
violence" is used in this book to describe violence among intimate
partners, including those involved in dating relationships. A
survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found
that approximately 7 million women and 5.7 million men experienced
physical violence, rape, and/or stalking by their intimate partners
in 2010. Also that year, 16.6 million women and 20.5 million men
experienced emotional abuse by their intimate partners, such as
attempting to keep victims from communicating with loved ones.
Domestic violence is associated with multiple negative outcomes for
victims, including mental and physical health effects.
