Domestic Violence and the Workplace |
An Interview with Jane Randel and Jennifer Swanberg
by Judi Casey and Karen Corday | Download Interview (PDF) |
|
|
Casey: How would you define domestic violence? Should we use the term “intimate partner violence”?
Swanberg: I personally use the term “intimate partner violence” because I think “domestic violence” suggests that other types of violence could be occurring within the home. Domestic violence is generally thought of as physical, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse that takes place within an intimate or family-type relationship. It often forms a pattern of coercive or controlling behavior. “Intimate partner violence” connotes that the violence is occurring between two intimate partners. “Domestic violence,” on the other hand, can represent other types of violence occurring within the home, such as child or elder abuse.
