Dating violence is defined as an assaultive behavior between
individuals in an intimate relationship. The assaultive behavior
can be inflicted by a current or former partner and be
verbal/psychological, physical, or sexual in nature and intended
to harm the physical or mental well-being of the victim. Rarely
is dating violence an isolated incident; it is a pattern of
coercive behavior intended to exert control and domination by
the offender toward the victim. The recurring abusive incidents
usually escalate in frequency and severity and can result in
serious physical injury, disablement, or death, without outside
intervention to protect the victim, stop the violence, and hold
the perpetrator accountable.  Warning Signs  It can be difficult
