OVERVIEW OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWS IN CALIFORNIA
Domestic violence refers to a type of offense perpetrated against someone with whom you share a close relationship. Therefore, domestic violence is an area of criminal law that actually includes many different offenses. It is the relationship between the parties that elevates the offense to “domestic violence.”
Relevance of the Relationship Between Defendant and Accuser
Domestic violence can refer to a single act of physical, emotional, sexual or even financial violence against the victim. In most cases, the victim will point to a cycle of violence between the parties.
