Different Aspects and Manifestations of Battering
Physical violence
Unwanted physical behavior such as hitting, shoving, choking, throwing objects, using a weapon, burning or restraining the partner from leaving accounts as physical violence. It also includes refusing to get help if a partner is injured or ill.
Intimidation
Any gesture, look or action that may imply potential violent behavior can be termed as intimidation. This includes destroying property, abandoning a partner in a dangerous place, abusing pets or displaying weapons.
Threats
Threatening is another common tactic. It includes threats to cause legal, career, or family trouble or a suicide threat.
Isolation
Batterers who use isolation tactics control what their victims do.
They prevent their partners from having social contact in any way be it denying access to a telephone, computer, or car, holding victims against their will, alienating them from family and friends, or preventing them from going out.
Emotional abuse
Verbal insults, lowering the victim's self-confidence, or convincing their partner that they're the cause of abuse falls under the category of emotional abuse.
Using children as leverage
An abusive partner can show control by threatening the children in the household, criticizing parenting skills, or making threats about child custody. Joint custody in such cases can result in further intimidation and abuse.
Sexual abuse
Sexual mutilation, forced prostitution, unwanted sexual practices, degrading sexual statements, pornography, undisclosed STD, accusing the victim of having affairs or attempting to attract other partners, and comparing the victim's body and sexual behavior to that of others in an unfavorable manner fall under sexual abuse.
Economic control
Abusive partners may also control all of the family’s resources and income forcing their partner to ask money from them for basic necessities. The batterer might keep some sources of income secret from their partner or family.
Male privilege
The majority of batterers are male, and they often assert their right to rule the household and make all important family decisions. They expect their partners to obey and be submissive.
Charged batterers may be given the option or ordered to attend an intervention program to help them develop empathy for their victims and change their violent attitude.
