It is a pattern of abusive behaviour through which a person seeks to control and dominate another person. Relationship violence does not take the form of a single incident. It is ongoing behaviour that gradually undermines the victim\u2019s confidence and ability to leave the violent person. The severity and frequency of violence often escalate over time.<\/li>\n<li>This violence takes many forms, none of which is mutually exclusive. While physical violence may be the most visible form, others such as sexual, emotional, social, spiritual and economic abuse can be equally harmful.(2)<\/li>\n<li>Relationship violence is common in Australia. It is complex, and different from other forms of interpersonal violence. Relationship violence occurs in the context of various relationships, including those which are familial, intimate and\/or between people and those who care for them. It also occurs in friendships.<\/li>\n<li>When relationship violence occurs between adults in heterosexual relationships, research shows that men are most likely to be the perpetrators and women the victims. When the violence occurs against children in families, research shows that parents and step-parents are most likely to be the perpetrators. Children and young people also experience violence when they live with and\/or witness violence between other family members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Relationship violence is a denial of human rights and it causes significant harm: &#8230; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvirc.org.au\/AboutDVIRC\/DVIRCAimsPhilosophy.htm\">full long text<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linked with When Love Hurts.
