Domestic violence isn't random anger; it's a calculated cycle of tension, abuse, reconciliation & calm, reinforcing the abuser's power & control over the victim
Evidence in domestic violence cases includes medical reports, photos, threatening messages/emails, witness statements, police records & personal diaries.
