From chapter 4 of the 'toolkit':Chapter 4. Enhancing the Response of the Justice System: Criminal RemediesWhy the hysteria (forgive the pun) over this?What Criminal Justice Practitioners Can Do To Make a Difference
- Require ongoing training for all sworn and civilian criminal justice personnel on issues related to sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking.
- Adopt comprehensive protocols for law enforcement response to violence against women.
- Coordinate the efforts of the justice system to prevent or intervene in violent crime.
- Require the prompt completion of detailed incident reports and ensure their availability to victim advocacy agencies and victims as appropriate.
- Educate members of the bench and bar about the struggles faced by victims deciding whether to participate in prosecution.
- Encourage prosecutors to build a case based on evidence in all cases even when the victim is unable or unwilling to testify.
- Invest in victim/witness programs and the expansion of community-based advocacy.
- Provide women victims of violence facing criminal charges or in prison access to quality legal representation.
- Evaluate arrest policies to determine whether victims of violence are being inappropriately arrested.
- Support intervention efforts for batterers and sex offenders
Everything claimed in this article is right on!
The Battered Shelters are "One-stop divorce shops"! Your federal and/or local taxes going to promote divorce and not very equitable in terms of offering counseling or like services for men. Basically, all the paperwork and info to get the ball rolling and getting what you can, from the divorce! A real strong advocacy for divorce. And there's no check to see if these women are really being battered, often as not, the woman is more violent than the man. Also many are more interested in getting custody, and the support payments, than the actual welfare of the children.
I know of a divorcing woman whose friend raped her 5 year old daughter. She forced the the 6 and 8 year old brothers to shut up about it, and when the daughter started showing emotional signs of the stress, implied it was "the ex" molestating his own daughter; tried to have social services and the school counselor investigate him and interview the children. All this so as not to lose the custody and child support.
The children had to live through the trauma of the experience and lying to authorities, while their own father was falsely accused. This woman even forced her daughter to invite this bastard to her birthday party!
All came out a few years later, after the divorce, when the mother died of breast cancer. The children broke down and told the whole story. The incident was reported to the police and the perp was found, already in custody, in a neighboring state, for charges of raping another 5 year old girl.
The examples you gave in the toolkit again imply that only women are victims and our tax dollars should go to rabid, feminazis, to distribute their brand of utopia: all families consisting of single moms, federally funded on welfare, of course!
Check the statistics on the broken homes of the Black families. Turn of the century had very few, but thanks to the federal programs and scoial welfare, rewarding the women, if there is no father present, ..., 100 years later and guess what? Half of the children are raised with no more fathers in the picture! Pavlov and the bell! No father at home and Ding we'll give you the money!
Yes, I see cause for alarm every time the federal government tries to "solve" these problems, better left to religious organizations and NGO's. Seems to me, people at a local level are better to handle these issues. Isn't that what conservatism is all about?
Finally, I feel a good minister and his wife, with professional counseling skills, are more mature judges of what's happening in a marriage and how to handle it, than some 19 year old feminazi, with your tax dollars and an agenda!
