Alcohol, Drugs, And Domestic Violence Family violence - or male aggression against women in a relationship setting - also known as domestic violence (DV) is most certainly a devastating social and moral problem in our society; but it is also a serious police problem, and an expensive health problem. In fact, the annual health care cost associated with the manifestations of DV is estimated to run as high as $857 million
(Raeburn, 2002, p. 127) Clearly, college life presents it sown situations that are conducive to the creation, or exaggeration, of psychological disorders in individuals.
