Review the Evidence Allowed in Domestic Abuse Investigations

We are concerned that domestic abuse that happens in private behind closed doors rarely leads to convictions because there is so little evidence to prove a pattern. Many cases collapse as “he said/she said.” Making it possible or easier to use psychological assessments, lie detector tests, school and youth offending records, family abuse history, and ex partner statements could give CPS the tools to show repeated harm and hold abusers properly accountable.
