Issues with Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a complicated problem that plagues society often. The nation's judicial system is trying to create regulations to protect victims of domestic violence. In addition, non-profit organizations and small organizations are scattered almost anywhere in the United States, they are trying to supplement the judicial protection with additional resources. However, domestic abuse seems to be much greater than services that these systems can maintain. Victims of domestic violence are plagued by harmful problems, even judicial systems and nonprofit organizations are not overcome, and as society advances, more problems seem to be occurring.

One of the main ways for the government to solve domestic violence problems is by law. Domestic violence, crime and victim law in 2004 were enacted to deal with domestic violence in various ways. The purpose of this bill is to give the police and the court greater authority to deal with perpetrators of domestic violence while simultaneously providing more protection to survivors (Ministry of the Interior, 2008a). One way to increase the power of the police is to make a normal attack a punishable crime. By doing this, the survivor can reflect on it for a certain period of time to judge whether to prosecute. This continuing action began in the 1980's apart from the police trying to adjust the "zero tolerance" of the parties involved in domestic violence. However, this may result in fewer cases than reported, as survivors may not want her partner to be convicted, especially if he is the father of her child
