Our theory of domestic violence has twelve such underlying principles. Domestic violence is unacceptable human behaviour. Domestic violence cannot be olerated by members of the gay community, and it must be unambiguously condemned by our entire society, 2. Domestic violence is not difficult to identify.
Domestic violence is a crime.
There are both criminal and civil consequences for assault, battery, rape, and property destruction. Federal, provincial, and local laws stand properly behind the victims of domestic violence. The judicial branch of government, law enforcement, and social service institutions of Canada exist to protect those who are victims of domestic violence. Resorting to violence is ample evidence of a lack of proper development in the perpetrator and evidence of his lack of adequate methods of reasoning. Batterers choose to be violent, decide to be abusive and premeditatively intend to harm, but they are not insane or crazy.
