We have specifically included economic abuse to demonstrate that it is a distinct type of abuse. We have listed broad categories which capture a range of different abusive behaviours, including physical, emotional and economic abuse.The definition ensures that different types of relationships are captured, including ex-partners and family members.The second criteria states that both persons must be “personally connected”. Abusive behaviour directed at a person under 16 would be dealt with as child abuse rather than domestic abuse. The first criteria states that both the person who is carrying out the behaviour and the person to whom the behaviour is directed towards must be aged 16 or over. We have set out two criteria governing the relationship between the abuser and the abused.The second part defines what constitutes abusive behaviour. ![]() The first part deals with the relationship between the abuser and the abused. The definition of domestic abuse is in two parts. ![]() We have created a statutory definition of domestic abuse, which is based on the existing cross-government definition.Victoria Atkins MP, Minister for Safeguarding What have we done? It is vital that in tackling domestic abuse, everyone, from statutory bodies to members of the public, has a proper understanding of it and how to support and protect victims.Ī statutory definition of domestic abuse will help to do this, emphasising that domestic abuse is not just physical or sexual violence, but can also be emotional, coercive or controlling, and economic abuse. Ew.The Act creates, for the first time, a cross-government statutory definition of domestic abuse, to ensure that domestic abuse is properly understood, considered unacceptable and actively challenged across statutory agencies and in public attitudes. In fact, there'll be so much blood and destruction that Caesar might show up from hell with the goddess of discord at his side, and mothers will smile to see their infants torn limb from limb. Antony's left alone to give a little soliloquy, in which he reveals that he fully intends to incite the crowd to bloody murder against the conspirators. And he can't have that, now can he?īut Antony promises he won't, so Brutus and gang leave. Cassius warns Brutus to bar Antony from speaking at Caesar's funeral, as he's likely to say things that will incite the people against the conspirators. Brutus promises they can and must.Īntony's only other little request is that he be allowed to take the body to the marketplace and to speak at Caesar's funeral. Still, Antony will remain their friend if they can provide some reason to believe Caesar was dangerous. Right now, though, they've got to go out and quiet the public, which is a bit frightened of the men who stopped for a quick dip in Caesar's blood.Īntony says he was committed to the conspirators, but then he notices Caesar's corpse again (still lying on the ground at their feet), and the plan to be down with the murderers suddenly looks a little less savory. Brutus promises to soon explain the reason they've killed Caesar. Brutus promises Antony he will only met with love. He worries aloud about who else will be killed over some secret grudge the conspirators might hold. Cassius, however, is still suspicious of Antony, and as the resident expert in treachery, he's usually right about spotting it in others.Īntony shows up and makes a great show over Caesar's body, weeping and wailing. He sure is glad they can all be friends again. Regardless, he'll be faithful to Brutus from now on.īrutus tells Antony's servant that his master will be safe if he comes to the Capitol. So, Antony pledges to love Brutus if he can get some assurance that it's safe to come around for a visit sometime and hear the story of why Brutus thought it was okay to ice their leader. While Antony loves Brutus and honors him, Antony also feared, loved, and honored Caesar, whom Brutus (brutally) killed. Antony has sent word with his servant to say Brutus is noble, wise, valiant, and honest, and, further.īut wait, there's more. Um, ew? The men are all standing around in a bloodbath-literally-when Antony's servant enters, causing the marching band of merry, bloody men to take pause. Then Brutus has another good idea: the conspirators should wash their hands in their friend's blood to signal that they've freed Rome from tyranny. See, now that Caesar's dead, he no longer has to worry about dying. After stabbing Caesar in the back (and the guts, arms, legs, and chest), Cassius and Brutus reason that they've done their pal a favor.
