What Is Dating Violence?
What is Dating Violence?
Dating violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors used to exert power and control over a dating partner.
A Pattern of Behavior
Calling dating violence a pattern doesn't mean the first instance of abuse is not dating violence. It just recognizes that dating violence usually involves a series of abusive behaviors over a course of time.
Every relationships is different, but the one thing that is common to most abusive dating relationships is that the violence escalates over time and becomes more and more dangerous for the young victim.
Who Experiences Dating Violence?
Any teen or young adult can experience violence, abuse or unhealthy behaviors in their dating relationships. A relationship may be serious or casual, monogamous or not, short-term or long-term. Dating abuse does not discriminate – it does not see gender, sexual identity, economic status, ethnicity or religious preference.
What Does Dating Violence Look Like?
Teens and young adults experience the same types of abuse in relationships as adults. This can include:
Physical Abuse: Any intentional use of physical force with the intent to cause fear or injury, like hitting, shoving, biting, strangling, kicking or using a weapon.
Verbal or Emotional Abuse: Non-physical behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or stalking.
Sexual Abuse: Any action that impacts a person’s ability to control their sexual activity or the circumstances in which sexual activity occurs, including rape, coercion or restricting access to birth control.
Digital Abuse: Use of technologies and/or social media networking to intimidate, harass or threaten a current or ex-dating partner. This could include demanding passwords, checking cell phones, cyber bullying, sexting, excessive or threatening texts or stalking on Facebook or other social media.

Welcome
Welcome to the official website of the Alliance Against Workplace Violence. We are deeply saddened and concerned about all the tragic killings and assaults that occur in workplaces all over the world. We remain committed to help prevent future occurrences of workplace violence.
The Alliance published its first book on August 31, 2011. It is Vol. One: Halt The Violence. The members of the Alliance are contributing authors to this book, which is a reader on workplace violence education and prevention. Please visit our resources page for more information.
Workplace violence is a serious recognized occupational hazard, ranking among the top four causes of death in workplaces during the past 15 years. Mor e than 3,000 people died from workplace homicide between 2006 and 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Additional BLS data indicate that an average of more than 15,000 nonfatal workplace injury cases was reported annually during this time.

Workplace Violence Awareness Month
The Alliance Against Workplace Violence (AAWPV) will commemorate the month of April, 2015 as Workplace Violence Awareness Month. This will be the third year that a national observance of workplace violence awareness is being held. We will highlight the preventable nature of most workplace violence incidents and promote campaigns of remembrance for those workers who have been injured or killed in the workplace by violence.
AAWPV has selected the month of April as Workplace Violence Awareness Month because Workers Memorial Day is observed on April 28. This is a yearly event held to pay homage and respect to workers who have died while at work.
During the month of April, please take actions that will assist us in getting the word out to interested persons that workplace violence can be prevented. Help us to educate the public about this problem that is generally considered a police issue or as unavoidable. We believe that if more people understand what workplace violence is and what preventive measures can be utilized to halt it, they will take the necessary steps to make their workplaces safer.
The problem of workplace violence is not a separate issue from the other problems of violence that plague our society. We realize that violence in homes and communities often spills over into the workplace. The workplace is a microcosm of what happens in the community and there are lessons to be learned by parties on both sides.
We created the Alliance Against Workplace Violence to generate discussion and ideas about preventing violence in the workplace among those who are already working diligently in this area and to include persons in the community who may be unaware of the problem. Consultants and practitioners in workplace violence prevention have joined in a collaborative effort to bring information to schools, churches, community associations, Chambers of Commerce, and violence prevention organizations.
We encourage all of you to spend the month of April, 2015 holding events to raise public awareness of workplace violence, culminating in Workers’ Memorial Day on April 28. Please visit this site often to find out what events we will be promoting. We are asking for your participation and invite you to share your stories, services and products regarding the problem of violence in the workplace and its solutions. If you have questions, ideas, or comments, contact Patricia Biles at patbiles@msn. com
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: “IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Please support Workplace Violence Awareness Month by purchasing a copy of the Alliance's first book from Amazon. com

Healthy relationships consist of trust, honesty, respect, equality, and compromise. 1 Unfortunately, teen dating violence—the type of intimate partner violence that occurs between two young people who are, or who were once in, an intimate relationship—is a serious problem in the United States. A national survey found that ten percent of teens, female and male, had been the victims of physical dating violence within the past year 2 and approximately 29 percent of adolescents reported being verbally or psychologically abused within the previous year. 3
Teen dating violence can be any one, or a combination, of the following:
Physical. This includes pinching, hitting, shoving, or kicking.
Emotional. This involves threatening a partner or harming his or her sense of self-worth. Examples include name calling, controlling/jealous behaviors, consistent monitoring, shaming, bullying (online, texting, and in person), intentionally embarrassing him/her, keeping him/her away from friends and family.
Sexual. This is defined as forcing a partner to engage in a sex act when he or she does not or cannot consent.
It can negatively influence the development of healthy sexuality, intimacy, and identity as youth grow into adulthood 4 and can increase the risk of physical injury, poor academic performance, binge drinking, suicide attempts, unhealthy sexual behaviors, substance abuse, negative body image and self-esteem, and violence in future relationships. 5
Teen dating violence can be prevented, especially when there is a focus on reducing risk factors as well as fostering protective factors. and when teens are empowered through family, friends, and others (including role models such as teachers, coaches, mentors, and youth group leaders) to lead healthy lives and establish healthy relationships. It is important to create spaces, such as school communities, where the behavioral norms are not tolerant of abuse in dating relationships. The message must be clear that treating people in abusive ways will not be accepted, and policies must enforce this message to keep students safe.
