, DOMESTIC ABUSE & VICTIM RELATIONSHIPS
1. What are the 3 types of Domestic offender/victim relationships?
• Answer: Current or former spouses; those who currently reside or formerly resided
together; those who have or share a child in common.
• Rationale: Wisconsin domestic abuse laws specifically cover these three relationship
types to ensure protection for intimate and household-related parties, regardless of
whether they currently live together.
2. What are the 4 elements of domestic abuse?
• Answer: (1) Intentional infliction of physical pain, injury, or illness; (2) Intentional
impairment of physical condition; (3) Violations of §940.225 (1), (2), or (3) (sexual
assault); (4) A physical act causing reasonable fear of imminent engagement in the
above conduct.
• Rationale: These elements define the legal threshold for domestic abuse, covering
both actual physical harm and credible threats, including sexual assault.
3. Define mandatory arrest.
• Answer: Law enforcement SHALL arrest if more than one person is present and: the
officer has reasonable grounds that continued domestic abuse is likely; there is
evidence of physical injury to the alleged victim; and/or the person is the predominant
aggressor.
• Rationale: Mandatory arrest laws remove officer discretion in certain domestic
violence situations to protect victims and hold aggressors accountable, reducing
repeat incidents.
4. Define predominant aggressor.
• Answer: The predominant aggressor is the most significant (not necessarily the first)
aggressor in a domestic abuse incident.
• Rationale: This prevents officers from arresting the first person who struck back in self-
defense; the focus is on who is the primary threat, not who acted first.
5. What are 3 related crimes to domestic violence?
• Answer: Strangulation, stalking, harassment.
• Rationale: These offenses often co-occur with domestic violence and are separately
chargeable, increasing penalties and protection options for victims.
