While Domestic Violence IS a reprehensible offense, it really is nothing more than an enhanced assault charge (i.e.; an assault committed against a family member).
Moral turpitude is not a definition that applies to any single category or type of offense, but generally refers to conduct that shocks the public conscience. Offenses such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, kidnapping, robbery, and aggravated assaults (i.e.: involving weapons or severe beatings) involve moral turpitude. However, simple assaults (not involving dangerous weapons or evil intent) do not involve moral turpitude).

Is assult a moral turpitude offense?
Simple assault is not necessarily a crime of moral turpitude, even though assaulting someone is, by its nature, immoral. But if the act of assault is aggravated by a lewd act or other act of indecency -- perhaps an act that doesn't rise to the level of rape or sexual assault -- it can be termed a crime of moral turpitude.(Aside: the term moral turpitude seems a bit redundant insofar as the word turpitude already implies depravity.)
