Abuse is defined broadly and considered as a widespread phenomenon with a variety of manifestations and contexts.

Its consequences, and the responses it may provoke, are discussed in detail with reference to three areas.

In the personal context, the impact of abuse on an individual's development, emotional life and ability to participate in society is addressed.

In the workplace, where the focus is upon working relationships and organizational goals, abuse may cause stress, undermine effectiveness and lead to legal redress: thus it involves a different set of problems and requires different treatment.

In relation to society as a whole, the threat which abuse poses and the factors which determine policy are evaluated.
