Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intimate-partner violence (IPV) is the best choice as it is an all-inclusive term that refers to violence against current or former spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends. It encompasses physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse. The term "spouse and significant other violence" in option C is similar, but the use of the broader term IPV is more commonly used in the literature and by professionals. Option A (rape) and B (peer violence) are specific forms of violence that do not include all types of IPV.
