Jamie was reported to have “committed more than one act of domestic violence,” suggesting a lack of control. Jamie denied any responsibility for the aggressive actions and said "she can be a real cow when she wants to be." Weldon and Gilchrist (2012) found that offenders believe their partners provoke violent reactions, which can be evidenced in the case of Jamie, who stated that “she should know when to shut up.” Although there is evidence of inability to control aggression, there is insufficient evidence regarding the level of aggression and minimal violence has been reported in sexual relationships..
