How would you define domestic violence? What relationships and acts do you think
should be included?
Should stalking be viewed as part of domestic violence or as a
separate problem?
2. When is mutual violence self-defense against an aggressor, and when is it retaliation?
3. If violence is committed in self-defense, should this make a difference in how we
intervene? In other words, if a woman prefers to respond to a violent attack with reciprocal
violence rather than seeking police assistance, should she be considered an aggressor as
well?
