As a victim of domestic violence you truly are a victim of a crime.  Whether the justice system decides to look at it that way is going to depend on you.  Have you gathered evidence that will help the criminal case be won by the prosecutor?  Ideally this is the case.  However, my experience is that the prosecutor will do everything he can to avoid helping you and prosecuting the man for the violence and injuries that have been inflicted upon you.  The laws exist for your protection but if you are not persistent no one will see it as a crime, even though you know that it is.  

          The laws have been rarely used in domestic violence cases.  For things to change, the victims must be approaching the prosecutor ready with evidence for the prosecutor to be successful.

        Hopefully with enough victims being ready with evidence for the prosecution, the willingness to address these crimes of domestic violence will be increased.   Then domestic violence can be acknowledged for what it is . . . A crime committed against a woman.
