Courts: Can They Do Better?
Yes. They must.
In an ideal world, the justice system works exactly as intended: fair, consistent, and protective. In the real world, however, courts are run by humans, within systems that are often overburdened, under-resourced, and slow to adapt. Nowhere are the consequences of these failures more severe than in cases involving domestic violence.
The Cost of Looking Away
Does anyone want to do what it takes?
That is not a rhetorical question.
Interpersonal Violence. Domestic Violence. Domestic Abuse. Call it whatever you want, this is the pandemic society chooses to ignore.
