Domestic Abuse: The Crime That Crosses Class and Color Lines

2. Yes it is an epidemic!

The criminal justice system must help these women even if they cannot help themselves. Violence against women is an epidemic and just as doctors would not turn away from an outbreak of disease, neither should police, lawyers, and judges. With support and resources, we can help to save lives.

Our system is broken when it comes to these issues. Many women are made to feel like a victim once again. It is no surprise, that so many refuse to testify or make the decision to return to their abusive partners. So many have lost their self esteem, their hope and their souls. It was taken from them. Brutally. It's a powerful mind game that the abuser in flicts upon them.

It has to stop. These women need our help.

Thank you, UL, for posting this. It is so very important!
