Hundreds of Cases Dismissed
Those of us who were working within the criminal justice system
during the early 1980's remember how it used to be before domestic
violence was taken seriously. The policy of police departments
throughout the United States was to treat domestic violence as a
matter that should not involve the courts. When responding to
domestic disturbances, police officers were trained to simply "keep the
peace." Standard policy for police officers responding to these calls was
to first break up the fight and then to tell one of the parties (usually
the man), to leave the house for the evening so that things could cool
off. Police officers were specifically trained that they should not make
arrests in these types of cases, since they were "civil matters."

Obviously, the policy and practice of not making arrests was flawed.
Victims of domestic violence were afforded almost no protection and
many people were seriously hurt as a result.
                                              
Fortunately, things began to change during the mid 1980's as a result
of a couple of cases that caught national attention. Movies such as the
"Burning Bed," starring Farrah Fawcett, woke up Americans to the
problem of domestic violence and challenged our cultural beliefs about
these cases. Domestic violence was no longer that dirty little secret
families had to keep. Suddenly, it was recognized in mainstream
America that victims of domestic violence deserved protection.
Consequently, law enforcement's method of dealing with domestic
violence also changed.

Police departments throughout the nation implemented policies
requiring officers to hand out pamphlets to victims of domestic
violence that explained their rights to move to a shelter and to press
charges. Also, when victims of domestic violence incidents told the
officers that they wanted to press charges, officers would take their
complaints seriously and would usually place the perpetrator under
arrest. Victims of domestic violence were finally listened to when they
desired prosecution. This shift in policy created more work for police
departments and the courts, but was generally welcomed by
professionals who cared about protecting victims of domestic violence.
