Often the voilence practiced behind closed doors, is not implemented in countries such as friends, family, coworkers, or even neighbors. Usually these acts are done in "classes" social casualties, but there are also many cases in the upper middle classes, or high, just that often the victims do not report the offender for the sake of appearance. The offender may be a good actor, where the most critical times, can cry and ask for favor for the victim not to abandon. We call this psychological violence.
