The mistreatment or injury of individuals in a domestic setting. Such abuse includes physical violence (e.g., striking or forcibly restraining or raping a family member), passive abuse (e.g., withholding access to resources needed to maintain health), psychological or emotional abuse (e.g., demeaning, devaluing, intimidating, or instilling fear by threat of physical harm or abandonment), and economic abuse by imposing financial dependency. Domestic abuse is common: more than two million Americans are abused or assaulted each year.
