3 INTRODUCTION The problem of violence within the American domicile is not new. What is new is that only recently, has this problem received the attention it deserves. In 1982, the Domestic Violence Act was instituted to protect battered victims and to study the complex problems that spark such aggressive behavior. This legislation also provided the opportunity to identify the causes of violence in the home and put forth a more comprehensive effort to combat the crime of Domestic Violence. Improvements since the implementation of the Domestic Violence Act are continuing. Pursuant to a change in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-24 enacted June 9, 1999, arrest data is presented by county. Domestic Violence restraining order violations are also captured and reported. Revised investigation and reporting procedures by the police; improved processing of domestic complaints by the courts; mandatory in-service training for police and court personnel have all enabled the victim to come forward and implement the constitutional rights granted to all Americans. The narrative and graphics in this chapter are the result of gathered data on the domestic violence landscape in New Jersey. It is the goal that the analysis of this data will prevent future violence.
