love shouldn't hurt

As part of New Brunswick's Crime Prevention and Reduction Strategy, the Love Shouldn't Hurt campaign is educating and informing New Brunswickers about intimate partner violence (IPV) and how we can all play a part in putting an end to this serious issue. The Edmundston Police Force is fully committed toward this initiative and to the promotion of the Love shouldn't hurt program. Intimate Partner Violence can occur in all relationship types (current and former married, common-law and dating relationships, and irrespective of sexual orientation). While the vast majority of victims of IPV are women, and men tend to more commonly be the abusive partner, this behaviour can be directed at male victims by other males or by female abusers as well.
