The statement one violent incident within a relationship qualifies as domestic violence is: b. false.
What is domestic violence?
A single violent event in a relationship does not always mean that it constitutes domestic abuse. A pattern of violent behaviour in a close relationship when one spouse tries to dominate and control the other is called domestic violence. Instead of including a single episode, it usually entails a string of abusive activities over time.
Domestic violence is characterised by a recurring pattern of behaviour, even though a single violent occurrence might be extremely concerning and may point to the possibility of continued abuse. In addition to coercive control and manipulation it can involve financial, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse.
Therefore the statement is false.
