DV affects world population by an action or omission which is detrimental to freedom, welfare and individual development (physical/psychological). A bibliometric survey was conducted by electronic search with the keywords bullying domestic violence or violence bullying between 2005 and 2010 at the databases Web of Science, Medline, PsycInfo, Dialnet and Redalyc, addressing the relationship between DV-bullying.
