What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is a crime that can involve physical, sexual, emotional, or economic abuse. In New York, domestic violence is the criminal offense of one family or household member against another. Family or household members include spouses, former spouses, co-parents, parents, children, siblings, and current or former romantic partners. The state of New York recognizes four types of domestic violence:
- Acts of physical domestic violence, which involves the use of physical force that causes or attempts to cause physical injury to a family or household member
- Sexual, domestic violence, which involves sexual acts without consent
- Physical domestic violence against an elderly person or a person with a disability, which involves physical force that causes physical injury to an elderly person or a person with a disability
- Stalking domestic violence, which consists of a pattern of harassing, threatening, or intimidating behavior that causes fear to a family or household member
Penalties for Domestic Violence Offenses in New York
The penalties for domestic violence depend on the type of abuse and the severity of the injuries. Generally, the penalties for domestic violence include the following:
- A first-time offense is typically a misdemeanor, leading to up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
- A second offense within five years of the first offense is classified as a felony, resulting in up to four years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
Penalties may be enhanced if the victim suffered severe physical injury, the offender used a weapon, or there were prior convictions for domestic violence. Domestic violence charges can also lead to a restraining order, loss of custody of children, and difficulty finding employment or housing.
