Commentary on OOP and Tennessee domestic violence registry

Arizona does not have such a registry and it would be valuable. Victims would be better protected and perpetrators would not be able to repeat their abuse. Domestic violence statistics in Arizona per the Sojourner Center: Arizona is ranked 12th in number of survivors in shelters and in just one day Arizona domestic violence programs responded to 1,652 domestic violence reports. One child in Arizona witnesses domestic violence every 44 minutes. Victims need better protection and the courts need to be made more aware that domestic violence is a pattern of abuse, control and coercion. A registry would expose the pattern, a key element in understanding and protecting all victims.
