Violence or abuse occurring within a domestic setting is described by which term?

• A. Domestic Abuse
• B. Honour Crime
• C. E-Crime
• D. Organized Crime

Answer: (A)

Violence or abuse in a home or intimate relationship is described as domestic abuse. It covers physical harm, but also emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial control used to dominate and control another person in a domestic setting. The focus is on patterns of coercion within the home or family sphere.

Honour crime refers to acts carried out to defend perceived family honour and is tied to cultural or social pressures; it’s not the general term for all domestic violence. E-Crime means crimes carried out online or via electronic systems, which isn’t about a domestic setting. Organized crime involves structured groups engaging in criminal activity, not the abuse occurring within a home.
