The report, "Local Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence," commissioned by Attorney General Bill Lockyer, is an indictment of the legal system. Among its findings: restraining orders are not enforced or served because there is no protocol for doing so, mandatory education programs for offenders are not carried out, and counties are failing to add the names of domestic violence abusers prohibited from possessing firearms to a weapons database. "The laws on the books ... need to be implemented and enforced," Lockyer said during a news conference here. "System fatigue is not a valid excuse."

The Clallam County Sheriff's Department is proud to have received one of the first COPS Phase One grants. Now we wish to expand our Community Policing Program and further enhance our problem solving efforts in this very important area of domestic violence. We have established an understanding that domestic violence is a community problem requiring a collaborative response. To this end we have contacted the various service and community organizations that have independently dealt with various elements of this problem in the past. Through collaboration we have identified that we would have a higher probability of success in dealing with this problem as a group than we have had as individual entities. Collectively we have identified that the most critical area of difficulty in the treatment of domestic violence is making the batterer/offender accountable. The objective is to concentrate upon getting those batterers/offenders, who are amenable, into appropriate treatment and get victims and children into appropriate treatment. To meet the above objectives and goals we have established a Family Crimes Specialist Investigator position within the Sheriff's Department. This person is working closely with the other community agencies involved as well as monitoring Sheriff's Department cases. As domestic violence includes intra-family sexual offenses in Washington State, this person is also involved in these investigations.

Lawson, P.A. Published: November 19, 2004 In Florida the Courts in every circuit have established a Domestic Violence Court. An individual who is a victim of domestic violence can file a petition against the perpetrator for a preliminary injunction. The Court will review the petition and if the case has merit will enter an Order of Temporary Injunction. A final hearing after notice to all parties must occur within fourteen days after the issuance of the Temporary Injunction. Each party may bring witnesses to the hearing. In some cases law enforcement, fire rescue and EMT personal are also subpoenaed to appear in Court. If the permanent injunction is issued after hearing by the Court the perpetrator is required to stay five hundred feet from the victim at all times. He or she also will be required to surrender all firearms to the sheriffs' office in the County that he or she resides. The injunction is valid for one year unless both parties mutually agree to terminate the injunction.

Correspondence from litigants regarding Domestic Violence matters The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991, N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17 et seq. In 1991, the Legislature found and declared that domestic violence is a serious crime against society. It found that thousands of persons in this State were regularly beaten, tortured and in some cases killed by their spouses or cohabitants. That a significant number of women were assaulted while pregnant. That victims of domestic violence came from all social and economic backgrounds. That there is a positive correlation between spousal abuse and child abuse and that children, even if they are not themselves physically assaulted, suffer deep and lasting emotional effects from exposure to domestic violence. The Legislature further found that some of its most vulnerable citizens, the elderly and disabled, are victims of domestic violence as well. The Legislature also found that although many of the existing criminal statues were applicable to acts of domestic violence, societal attitudes concerning domestic violence have affected the response of the law enforcement and judicial systems resulting that these acts received different treatment from similar crimes when they occur in a domestic violence context.

District Court Judicial Branch Home District Home Welcome About the Court ... FAQs Domestic Violence Case Protocols INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In 1994, the District Court issued a comprehensive and far reaching protocol for handling domestic violence cases throughout New Hampshire. Spawned by the growing caseload and need for consistency in handling these cases, the protocol became the first comprehensive, multi-disciplinary set of guidelines for addressing domestic violence in New Hampshire. The protocols have been reprinted and distributed to hundreds upon hundreds of professionals throughout the State. They have received special recognition by the United States Department of Justice and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and have been used as models in states around the country. In the eight years that have transpired, RSA 173-B (our Protection of Persons From Domestic Violence Statute) has changed significantly, as have federal laws regarding such issues as the interstate enforcement of protection orders. The New Hampshire Supreme Court has also begun to develop a body of caselaw on domestic violence.
