True, Dating violence is a pattern of emotional, physical, psychological, verbal and/or sexual abuse used to exert power and control over a partner.

Explanation:

Violence is the act of controlling or influencing someone else's behavior in our case a partner. Emotional and psychological violence can be applied when the aggressor diminishes or minimizes the partner's self-esteem by insulting him or her or by qualifying him or her about something. Physical violence can be employed when physical contact determines the partner's behavior, verbal when insults and offenses determine the partner's behavior, sexual when the aggressors force the partner to perform sexual behavior against the partner's will.
