Dr. M,
Domestic violence crimes are charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the severity of the crime. A crime with no visible signs of injuries are charged as misdemeanors, the offender faces probation, payment of fines, treatment programs, and brief jail time. A crime with physical violence, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse are charged as felonies, the offender faces short jail time, probation, counseling, and payment of fines. In each scenario the offender will spend little to no time in jail which means they can still access their victims if they wanted. In my post last week, I discussed how offenders can potentially become angry after they’re no longer allowed to control their victims. The loss of control causes some offenders
