There is much controversy over how and why domestic violence occurs. And it happens against BOTH men and women. Each year approximately 3 million women encounter domestic violence. But alarmingly, on the increase is violence against men, increasing faster over the last 2 decades than violence against women. Now each year not quite 1 million men suffer domestic violence attacks from women. Since this question does not target male or female, fair and balanced says we should comment on both.
Violence of any kind can occur for virtually any reason. Some may include: fighting that gets out of control, escalates beyond either parties ability to reason and de-escalate the fight or argument. While many men and women who are the victim can be guilty of instigating or antagonizing the other to violence, it doesn't make it right, whether it's a man or a woman.
Too many people want to pigeon-hole a person into the category of violent offender without looking at its root cause. This can be trauma experienced in the aggressors life, undealt with issues, over-use of drugs, alcohol, feelings of inadequacy, and believe it or not, plenty of aggressors lash out after being berated over and over by the victim, again, this is not right regardless of who starts what.
There is no one reason why violence, whether domestic or general, occurs. Each case, each person, each aggressor, each victim is different and plays a different role in each event.
