A crime may fall under the "domestic violence" if you have or had a relationship with the alleged victim from simple disorderly conduct to felony assault. Also, this can also occur from even a simple violation such as a phone call while an order of protection is in effect.

Arizona legislature has and continues to focus on domestic violence laws that have empowered prosecutors to take an active role in pursuing the case, even where the victim refuses to actively participate in the prosecution.
