What are the different forms of family violence?

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence), abuse often begins with verbal behaviors such as epithets and threats, and hitting or throwing objects. Can become worse, including pushing, slapping, and holding the victim against his will. Further battering may include punching, hitting and kicking and may escalate to conduct that constitutes a threat to life as choking, breaking bones, or use weapons.

The following are forms of violence:

• physical - battering or hitting causing physical damage that may include bruising, broken bones, internal bleeding and death. Often the abuse begins with minor contact and escalates over time into more violent actions.

• sexual - often accompanies or follows physical battering, and results in rape or other sexual activity without consent.

• Psychological or emotional - an abuser often mentally or emotionally abuses with words, threats, harassment, possession, isolation, and destruction of property. The isolation often occurs when the maltrata trata de controlar el tiempo y las actividades de la víctima, así como su contacto con otras personas. Las personas que maltratan logran su objetivo interfiriendo con las relaciones que proporcionan apoyo a la víctima, creando barreras que impidan el desarrollo de actividades, como llevarse las llaves del automóvil o encerrar a la víctima en su casa, y mintiendo o distorsionando la realidad para obtener control psicológico.

• Acecho - el hostigamiento y las conductas amenazadoras repetidas suelen desembocar en el maltrato físico o sexual. MAGALY OLIVEIRA

• Económica - cuando el abusador controls the access of victims to all resources such as time, transportation, food, clothing, shelter, insurance and money. For example, can interfere with the ability of the victim to self-sufficient and insist on controlling the finances. When the victim leaves the violent relationship, the perpetrator may use economics as a way to maintain control or force her to return.
