Answer:
Violent crime
Explanation:
Spousal abuse forms part of a crime called domestic violence. It happens in a domestic setting and it can take on many forms such as physical, mental, emotional, economic or sexual abuse.
It is a violent crime where there is an aggressor and a victim. The abuse usually starts as harmless and the victim is too afraid to report the crime. The victim is emotionally attached to the attacker and feels ashamed to report him. This is a vicious circle very difficult to break, more than half of all domestic violence cases remain unreported.
