Domestic violence (DV) has grabbed attention worldwide. It is prevalent across the globe. Millions of women struggle in their relationships, and their dwelling operates like an epicenter of their anguish and suffering. It is "the emotional, physical, psychological or sexual abuse perpetrated by a spouse, former spouse, partner or a family member." DV strongly impacts a woman's physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health, thus degrading her quality of life. This research evaluates the possibility of a scientific way to understand the Neuro Signature based profiling of Domestic violence victims utilizing the Brain Electrical Oscillations Signature Profiling (BEOS) system. This neurocognitive tool measures autobiographical memory. This research aimed to study 30 participants in the domestic violence and control groups. The brain activation and experiential knowledge (EKs) elicited in victims of domestic violence were studied and compared with those who have not experienced any form of domestic violence. The results of this study exhibited a significant difference between the EKs elicited and the brain activation in the domestic violence group compared to the control group. These results indicate the scope of evidence to employ BEOS demarcating the traumatic experience of DV and provide corroborative evidence. The evidence may aid in cases where domestic violence cannot be proved through physical injuries. The research points towards BEOS adding immense value to the existing legal framework and providing a detailed understanding of how the traumatic experience of domestic violence is encoded in the brain. It widens the scope for forensic psychologists to understand better the repercussions of domestic violence on victims' lives and assist with their rehabilitation. Men incriminated in false cases can at least corroborate their innocence using the BEOS system. This research work may be extended to other forms of violence and abuse, assisting with the overall mitigation.
