Professor Mills asserts that current domestic violence strategies tend to overlook the individual needs of women in abusive relationships by ignoring racial, ethnic, and religious factors. Further, she claims that the criminal justice system may be exacerbating the problem and perpetuating the stereotype of women as helpless victims. She looks at the history of law enforcement in this field and the evolution of the current practices of mandated arrest that are politically sacrosanct. She argues that the accepted practices do not reflect the reality of the problem or address the needs of those involved. Professor Mills contends that women can be just as aggressive as men, and any child who endures abuse is more likely to become violent as an adult. She shows a video clip of her suggested approach, dubbed "restorative justice", which encourages dialogue in a group counseling setting in order to help couples learn strategies to prevent recurring violence. Following her presentation she answered questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/178634-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/178634-1 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT President Bush spoke about efforts to stop domestic violence before signing a proclamation for October 2003 to be National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/178571-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/178571-1 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT At a symposium on domestic violence Attorney General Ashcroft and others spoke about the impact of domestic violence, programs to assist those affected by domestic violence, and efforts to end the cycle of violence. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173572-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/173572-1 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT Mr. Holder talked about the problem of childhood exposure to violence and abuse.
