Charisse Van Horn Tampa Crime Examiner October 16, 2009 Isolation Domestic violence takes many forms. Though many associated domestic violence with physical battery, there are other aspects to an abusive relationship; some might not involve physical battery whatsoever. One of these aspects is isolation, however, many abusers use a combination of tactics to control and manipulate their victims. Power, control, and manipulation are the tools abusers use to subdue their victims. Isolation causes their partners to become fully dependent on their abuser. In many cases of domestic violence, the abuser will isolate the victim from friends and family members. This isolation may extend to the work environment as well. Other forms of isolation associated with domestic violence appear through the guise of possessiveness and being over protective. Abusers might exhibit extreme jealousy and follow, stalk, or harass their partners or interrogate them after they’ve been away from the home (or from the abuser’s control).
