Final answer:
Domestic violence, often synonymous with intimate partner violence (IPV), is more specifically focused on abuse between spouses or intimate partners, while family violence encompasses a wider range of abusive dynamics within a family, including child or elder abuse.
Step-by-step explanation:
The assertion that "Domestic Violence and Family Violence are the same thing" is not entirely accurate, so the correct answer to the question would be B. False. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, there is a difference in scope. Domestic violence is a term commonly used to refer to violence among household members, particularly between spouses, and is also known as intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV specifically refers to abuse occurring between individuals in an intimate relationship which can be broader, encompassing current or former spouses, cohabitating, or same-sex couples. On the other hand, family violence can extend to other family dynamics, and include other forms of abuse such as child abuse or elder abuse within the family structure, not just between intimate partners.
