Typically, domestic violence involves crimes that are repetitive and can include allegations of physical and psychological abuse. Domestic violence is an umbrella term consisting of more specific charges that can vary based on the severity of the injuries sustained, whether or not a minor was present, and whether a protective order was in place and violated. Domestic violence can take several forms- physical abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and economic abuse.
Domestic violence charges can include battery, assault, violation of a protective order, stalking, and aggravated stalking.
