Domestic violence, or "intimate partner violence," affects the lives of millions of people. It's been the subject of hundreds of books, magazine articles, movies, and television programs. It is widely known that acts of physical violence are against the law. But physical violence is only one part of domestic violence. And most of us find it hard to believe that it could be happening to us or to someone we know and care about.
Domestic violence is at epidemic proportions in communities across the United States – including communities in Westmoreland County.
