I think you are asking for two slightly different things. One, scientific facts, two, a sort of checklist. I already posted one of the latter, and it was roundly poopooed. Here is another that is probably pretty similar, and also looks a lot like the pamphlets I got for a friend that was going through this. I think what you have to bear in mind in looking at these things is that it is not saying that occasionally putting someone in and of itself means that the person doing it is abusive. However, the more of these characteristics are true, the likelier it is that a relationship that is getting ugly will go on to become violent.
