Domestic violence programs are overseen by the Domestic Violence Offender Management Board (DVOMB).  Domestic Abuse is generally an act or threatened act of violence upon a person with whom the person is or has been involved in an intimate relationship. “Domestic violence” also includes any other crime against a person, or property, including an animal, or any municipal ordinance violation against a person, or against property, including an animal, when used as a method of coercion, control, punishment, intimidation, or revenge directed against a person with whom the actor is or has been involved in an intimate relationship.
