"Battering is abuse that is systematized by an ongoing threat or actual promise of the continuance of violence. The batterer keeps his victim in a state of constant fear with implied or actual threats of further violence or degradation. The batterer"s intent is not a measurement of battering. Battering is measured by the acts and patterns of abuse inflicted by the perpetrator and by the repercussions experienced and reported by the victim."
