What is Power-Based Personal Violence?
“Power-based personal violence is a form of violence that has as a primary motivator the assertion of power, control and/or intimidation in order to harm another. This includes partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other uses of force, threat, intimidation, or harassment of an individual. It also includes the use of alcohol or drugs to commit any of these acts. These acts are inclusive of acts committed by strangers, friends, acquaintances, intimates, or other persons. Men can be victims of power-based personal violence and this kind of violence can happen in gay and lesbian relationships, meaning offender and victim can be of either sex"
