What is regarded as a #domestic violence keywords# crime?
California law specifies #domestic violence keywords# criminal activities as any criminal act committed upon a person who fits into the one or more of the following criteria:
● A spouse or past spouse
● A cohabitant or previous cohabitant
● A fiancé or former fiancée
● A person whom you dated or previously dated
● A person whom you share a child with
In addition, #domestic violence keywords# law can also widen to people whom you have not shared a romantic or personal relationship with. Which means, cases involving complaints of crimes perpetrated against a member of the family such as your dad, mom, or sibling can also expose you to #domestic violence keywords# penalties. It is also essential to take note of; #domestic violence keywords# crimes do not only include violent acts such as assault & battery, assault with a deadly weapon, assault likely to cause serious bodily injury, false imprisonment, kidnapping, or criminal threats. Crimes which do not commonly involve a straightforward act of violence perpetrated against the alleged victim can be prosecuted as #domestic violence keywords# offenses if the victim is a protected person under California’s #domestic violence keywords# laws. Criminal acts such as vandalism, making annoying phone calls, or child endangerment are amongst the typical examples of these crimes.
