THE CONSEQUENCES OF A FAMILY VIOLENCE 911 CALL

Because of numerous public trials involving spousal abuse as well as the possible consequences of leaving two angry people in the same home, there currently appears to be a zero tolerance policy toward family assault. As a result most police officers and prosecutors will not drop charges of spousal assault, even if the complaining spouse explains that he or she merely called the police to end a family argument.

Although these policies are intended to protect a battered wife from being hurt in the future, they actually result in many innocent people being arrested, jailed, charged with domestic violence, and kept away from their spouses and children for extended periods of time.
