Research shows that women are most likely to experience the severest forms of violence and are more likely to be killed by men within the context of a heterosexual relationship. In 2004, the spousal homicide rate against women was 5x greater than men. Physical assault level 1 pushing, slapping, punching and face-to-face threats. Domestic violence refers to any act or omission done or not done to a partner: ex: destruction of personal property, public humiliation, etc. Couples under 25 are at a greater risk of spousal violence while those over 45 are not.
