The "Power and Control Wheel," illustrates that domestic violence is a cyclical pattern of physical and/or sexual violence by an abuser to exert power, establish control over, and diminish the independence of the victim.

Violent acts or the threat of acts of violence serve as the rim of the wheel while varying types of behaviors, primarily psychological/emotional in nature, act as the spokes of the wheel to facilitate the establishment of power and control. 23 Specifically the abuser may use coercion and threats to harm a victim; intimidation through gestures or destruction of property; emotional abuse such as humiliation; isolation from family and friends; economic abuse; use of children as pawns in obtaining power and control; male privilege; or minimizing the abuse, denying that abuse occurred, and blaming the victim for the abuse, as means to control the victim. It is the use of violence that reinforces the ability of the abuser to use these various other psychological and emotional behaviors to dominate the victim. 24 Added to the complexity of the dynamics of domestic violence are the special fears, concerns, and needs of the victims of such violence
