Domestic Violence Awareness
| Domestic Violence Defense | Domestic Violence Questions |
Domestic abuse is a serious problem when it invades our homes. The typical situation involves a live-in relationship between two people. One partner enters into an escalating cycle of domestic violence with the other person. The other person does not understand that he or she can leave the situation. The reasons for both parties actions are very complex.
Know the signs of domestic abuse...
It is important for both parties to know the signs of domestic violence so that they can address these issues through self-initiated counseling. To the right side of the screen I have posted several websites for warning signs of domestic violence. Knowing these signs is a good place to begin if you feel that you are a victim of domestic violence or if you are just not sure but know something is wrong.
Be Aware of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence awareness is critical in the effort to stop this abuse however it can lead to domestic violence charges being filed when no domestic violence exists. Be discerning when you suspect a neighbor or a friend is being abused before you call the police. Arguments happen - and not all arguments are signs of domestic violence. Remember, domestic violence is a cyclical "pattern" of abuse.
This is a priority now with the police and prosecutors...
The government has made domestic violence charges a priority. If you dial 911 and call the police, you have to realize that someone is very possibly going to jail. There is no more "cooling off period" when it comes to domestic violence.
For those who are truly being abused this is a great step towards minimizing domestic violence in our society. However, by focusing on it many prosecutor's offices now push to find everyone accused of domestic violence to be guilty of domestic violence. The law is so broad now that young siblings can be charged with domestic violence for getting in a fight. We cannot minimize the dangers of true domestic violence by simply saying all household violence is domestic. We need common sense.
Government is not the answer to solving the problem of domestic violence in our society. We all need to become domestic violence aware. We need to know what to look for and what is and is not true domestic violence. By focusing our resources on only the true domestic violence cases we can do much more towards ending this crime.
