Cox also visited the area to discuss the success of his Attorney General Domestic Violence Prevention Unit, which utilizes specially trained assistant attorneys general to prosecute domestic violence cases throughout Northern Michigan. "The most important tool my office can give to victims of domestic and sexual violence is a voice," Cox said. "From phone cards that allow them to make a call for help, to the courtroom where special prosecutors guide them through the legal process, I am adding my voice to the growing chorus against one of society’s most heinous crimes." Cox chose the Women’s Resource Center to receive the calling cards as part of a settlement his office reached earlier this year with Sprint Communications. The settlement stemmed from consumer complaints that Sprint switched customer’s telephone long distance service from another carrier to Sprint without the customer’s knowledge or approval, a practice known as "slamming." Under the terms of the settlement, Sprint will pay $1.2 million in cash and donated products to the State of Michigan and charities selected by Cox.

Spitzer made the proposal while speaking at a meeting of the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA), an advocacy group which speaks out against such violence. "Abuse victims encounter many challenges in their lives including obtaining and retaining safe housing," Spitzer said. Property owners who refuse housing to victims of domestic violence place them in the position of having to choose between living in fear or losing their housing. Victims are also deterred from taking important steps to ensure their safety." Landlords and others often assume that a rapist, stalker or batterer will follow his victim to her lodgings, and create disturbances for other tenants. As a result, advocates report that many victims are served with eviction notices.

Home About NCCPR Frequently Asked  Questions ... Funders SUMMARY OF EXPERT TESTIMONY ON THE IMPACT ON CHILDREN OF WITNESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE From the Decision of U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein in Nicholson v. Williams, Case #00-CV2229, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York This case challenged the practice of New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services of removing the children of battered mothers solely because the children saw their mothers being beaten by husbands or boyfriends.  Judge Weinstein ruled that the practice is unconstitutional and he ordered it stopped.  A member of the NCCPR Board of Directors is co-counsel for the plaintiffs in this case.       During the trial several leading national experts testified on the impact on children of witnessing domestic violence, and the impact on children of being removed from the non-offending parent.       In general, the experts found that witnessing domestic violence is sometimes, but not always, harmful to children.  And even when witnessing domestic violence does harm, removing the child from the non-offending parent is more harmful.  Indeed, one expert testified that a removal under such circumstances “is tantamount to pouring salt on an open wound.”       Judge Weinstein’s summary of expert testimony, from pages 70 to 75 of his decision, is presented below in full.  Where portions appear in boldface, the emphasis has been added by NCCPR.

"Cut Out Domestic Violence" trains salon professionals to be aware of domestic violence and provide clients who are being abused with helpful information and proper referrals. "Salon professionals often see their clients regularly, month after month, year after year," Attorney General Lawrence Wasden said. "They build relationships with their clients and can often spot troubling patterns of behavior or changes in a client's behavior. Salon professionals are experienced listeners and it is not uncommon for women who are experiencing abuse to confide in them. In addition, the salon may be one of the few places a domestic violence victim can go without the abuser." Wasden said his office has partnered with the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence and Victim Assistance to sponsor training workshops throughout Idaho. The Attorney General and the Idaho Council on Domestic Violence and Victim Assistance are also working closely with the State Board of Cosmetology, the Idaho Cosmetology Association and the Idaho Association of Cosmetology Schools. The program brings salon professionals and domestic violence experts together and combines their expertise to bring information to domestic violence victims.
