News Releases National Association of Attorneys General Hosts National Meeting on Domestic Violence Committed in the Presence of a Child February 5, 2002 The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) is hosting a national meeting on Domestic Violence Committed in the Presence of a Child on February 6-7, 2002, in its Washington, D.C. headquarters. The meeting, coordinated by NAAG’s Violence Against Women Project, is being held to develop a research agenda related to criminal statutes addressing domestic violence committed in the presence of a child. "This is a tremendous undertaking by NAAG with a significant opportunity to affect public policy in the area of domestic violence," said Nevada Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, Convener of NAAG’s Violence Against Women Committee. "Because of the growing awareness of the consequences resulting from exposure to domestic abuse, states have been exploring diverse means of protecting children from violence in their homes." Delaware Attorney General Jane Brady is scheduled to speak at the meeting on Wednesday afternoon to discuss her state’s vigorous initiatives in prosecuting domestic violence crimes involving children. Delaware’s initiatives have been evaluated by a team from the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and are being praised as a model for other states. After a preliminary review of efforts undertaken in many states, the study team was most impressed with Delaware's initiatives and selected the state for a site visit to learn more. General Brady hosted the team in December.

Through the Federal Government's pledge of significant funds to improve the present system's response to victims of these crimes, each state can become more efficient in guaranteeing the safety and well-being of all women. National Institute of Justice South Carolina's Response Under the Violence Against Women Act, The South Carolina Attorney General's Office has received a grant from the Department of Justice to develop state-of-the-art law enforcement protocols and aggressive prosecution procedures for criminal domestic violence, criminal sexual conduct, and stalking crimes.

Home Find a Lawyer Law Bulletin Boards Media ... Legal Forms WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CIVIL HARASSMENT? Domestic violence cases are a special category of civil harassment. Civil harassment occurs when one person annoys, harasses, injures, or threatens another person. However, a civil harassment case does not have to meet the relationship test established for domestic violence. Domestic violence cases can often be more volatile than civil harassment cases. Because of the special relationship between the parties, a domestic violence case often results in greater harm caused by one person against the other. Many states have different procedures for domestic violence and civil harassment. In addition, the available remedies for a domestic violence case may differ from the remedies available in a civil harassment case. WHAT REMEDIES ARE AVAILABLE TO PREVENT FURTHER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? Upon petition to the court, temporary or lengthy restraining orders (also referred to as "protective orders") may be issued. Orders issued in a domestic violence case may include: that the restrained person shall not contact, contact, attack, strike, threaten, batter, telephone or otherwise disturb the peace of the protected person

HEALTH CARE RESPONDS TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Office of the Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan Hospitals are a major resource for intervention, treatment, and social change. Because hospitals play an important role in the treatment of domestic violence, the Office of the Attorney General has worked to make every hospital emergency department in Illinois a domestic violence response site. Interdisciplinary hospital team members are taught the skills necessary for working with domestic violence victims. The teams learn to develop and implement policies and protocols for universal screening of women patients, to write and deliver staff training, and to make their emergency departments safe, confidential, and DV friendly. The Office of Attorney General also offers follow-up technical assistance and site visits to each hospital to encourage comprehensive and complete implementation of the project. This program has already begun to have a major impact on how victims of domestic violence are identified and assisted in medical facilities.
