DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
THE DYNAMIC OF THE POWER AND CONTROL WHEEL
The wheel diagram serves as tactics abusive partners use to keep survivors in a relationship. The inside of the wheel makes up subtle, continual behaviors over time, while the outer ring represents physical and sexual violence. Thus, abusive actions like those depicted in the outer ring reinforce the regular use of other, more subtle methods found in the inner ring.
