Intimate partner violence does not need to be necessarily violent actions, but can be verbal threats, isolation, neglect, and disempowering tactics. The series of behaviors and violence can hastily escalate and the probability of homicide increases in those relationship dynamics.

    While violence, and especially domestic violence, can certainly occur at all levels of the income spectrum, it is clear that these incidents are more closely linked with low socioeconomic status areas. This is due partially to the increased stress level of trying to make a life for oneself without the resources of a college degree or financial backing. The article also said that "low-income women who experienced intimate partner violence […] had only one-third odds of maintaining a 30-hour work week for six or more months" compared to high socioeconomic status women. This fact again confirms that stress is often a contributing factor to violence, but it also illustrates that this pattern can work in reverse as well, since women affected by domestic violence are in turn less focused and confident in their lives, which makes it harder to maintain a job, and creates yet another vicious cycle.
