Description/History: Domestic violence/abuse cases are brought- and victims and offenders are identified-in both our criminal and civil justice systems.  However, a victim’s first contact with law enforcement or the courts rarely happens after the first, or even the second, domestic incident.  Historically, our legal system has become involved only after the pattern of abuse is well established, the level of physical injury has become serious, or the violence has spread beyond the intimate relationship or family.
