Resistive Violence - One of Three Types of Domestic Violence

Click here to view this short video that describes resistive violence, one of three types of domestic violence.  
Not all domestic violence is the same. This short video (3 min) describes resistive violence. At Domestic Abuse Project, myself, Amirthini Keefe, and Rhonda Martinson, J.D. all heard from survivors about how the system did not account for the context, intent or effect of their use of violence. At Domestic Violence Turning Points, we took the time to understand the context of women’s use of violence. The Crossroads Program was developed by Mary Asmus to develop a response to account for resistive violence.
