Domestic Violence Jail

Domestic violence is abuse or neglect that takes place between two parties who are related or who share an intimate relationship. It can also be known as spousal abuse, partner abuse, child abuse, and elder abuse. At one time law enforcement officials handled domestic violence calls with an “intervention” or counseling. However, one study found that in 85% of spousal homicides the victim had been visited by police at least once in the previous two years. Mere police intervention was then replaced by guidelines calling for the arrest of the abuser and the appropriate charges being filed against him or her.

Fast Facts

  • Domestic violence is more often reported by women; however, statistics show that one-sixth of those injured by domestic violence are men.
  • An abuser can be jailed, including assault, sexual assault, kidnapping, rape, child abuse, and murder for many domestic violence criminal offenses.
  • Besides or in addition to jail time, domestic violence penalties include fines, community service, counseling, and probation.
