The Role of Police in Mitigating Physical Domestic Violence

Abstract

    The police play a vital role in dealing with physical domestic violence, which is when people hurt or harm their family members or partners. This is a significant problem in our society. In this introduction, we will explore what the police do to help in such situations. When people in close relationships hurt each other physically, it is not just about the physical injuries. It can cause emotional and psychological harm too. Sometimes, the police are the first ones to step in and help when these situations happen. They have a big job in protecting the person who is hurt and making sure the person who did it faces consequences.

  In this paper, we will look at how the police handle physical domestic violence. We will see the challenges they face, like when victims don't want to report the violence or when false accusations are made. We'll also learn how the police try to balance helping the victim with the rights of the person who did the harm.
