Court-Ordered Treatment<\/h3>\n
As part of the punishment, the court may require the abuser to attend counseling or therapy, such as anger management classes. However, these court-ordered programs often have a low success rate, typically due to the low quality of the programs or the abuser\u2019s resentment toward required participation in a program (Cohen, 2020, p. 469).<\/p>\n

Domestic Violence Courts<\/h3>\n
Feminists worked with the court system to create specialized domestic violence courts that focus on helping victims of family violence rather than inflicting punishment. These courts use judges and victim advocates who have specialized training in domestic violence cases.<\/p>\n

Violence in general has cooled its heels over the past several decades, but family violence still remains a very large problem. Societal and culture norms have improved with the modernity. Women and children, once considered property and slaves, are now considered people with rights. Those rights extend to their care and well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a variety of ways that the state and local governments can intervene in a family violence case, thanks to the pressures that the feminist movement has applied. No one program or approach is 100% effective - resources should be used together for a more effective and safer outcome for the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the police respond to a family violence incident, the victim is separated and asked specific questions to assess their risk of serious injury or death. These questions are part of the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), which has been implemented in several states. If the officer determines that the victim is at high risk, the victim is informed of the danger and the local 24-hour domestic violence hotline is contacted. The victim is then given the option to speak directly with an advocate to start planning for their ongoing safety (National Institute of Justice, 2015).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Victims of physical abuse can obtain a civil protection order. These orders may warn the abuser of possible legal consequences and harsher penalties, or prohibit further contact with the victim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While protection orders can help reduce risk to victims, they must be strictly enforced, especially within the first three months, to be effective. They should also be supported by additional safety measures for the victims (Benitez et al., 2010).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n As part of the punishment, the court may require the abuser to attend counseling or therapy, such as anger management classes. However, these court-ordered programs often have a low success rate, typically due to the low quality of the programs or the abuser's resentment toward being required to participate (Cohen, 2020, p. 469)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Feminists worked with the court system to create specialized domestic violence courts that focus on helping victims of family violence rather than inflicting punishment.
