Domestic violence refers to any form of physical, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse perpetrated within close social relationships, particularly in partnerships or families. What makes it unique is the perpetrator-victim relationship: the abuser is simultaneously the victim's most trusted person, which significantly hinders escape, resistance, and external perception. Victims often find themselves in a cycle of violence, remorse, reconciliation, and renewed violence (the violence spiral), maintained by emotional dependence, shame, fear, and economic coercion.

Literary relevance also lies in the long-term consequences: children who grow up in violent households often develop antisocial behaviors, attachment disorders, or even profiles of perpetrators themselves. In thrillers, domestic violence often serves as the backstory for antagonists or as a motivational background for acts of revenge.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
