Abstract
domestic violence is a complex and problematic matter, one that poses many questions for the criminal justice system, victims, perpetrators, and enforcers and creators of policy. "Compared to other victims of violent crimes, victims of domestic violence can moreover face heightened risks to their personal safety following official intervention and operate within formidable situational constraints." (Ellison, 772) In addition to this, the type of crime has several other aspects that differentiate it from other crimes, and therefore leads to an elevated degree of intricacy and difficulty when classifying, handling, punishing for, and prosecuting it.
