While domestic violence has always been present in the society, over the last two decades it has become rampant. U.S Federal law defines domestic violence as a pattern of behavior when one intimate partner or spouse threatens or abuses the other partner. Such abuse often includes not only physical harm or forced sexual relations but also emotional manipulation, including isolation or intimidation. Such intimidation may manifest itself in economic domination or deprivation or both as well as subjugation of the abused partner’s will by the abuser. Especially vicious forms of domestic violence are often directed at the most vulnerable including legal or undocumented immigrant partners and frequently incorporate immigration-related threats. According to the U.S. government statistics most recorded incidents of domestic violence involve men abusing women or children. Nevertheless, immigrant men can and increasingly do become victims of domestic violence as well.
