Challanges

According to the Attorney General’s report, the California criminal justice system is failing to enforce the state’s domestic violence laws. These failures include the following: courts failing to issue restraining orders; restraining orders being issued, but not served; prosecuting officers not fully utilizing community-based victims advocates; batterers failing to attend court-ordered programs without repercussions; and a lack of coordination of criminal justice agencies.
