Quote:HOW MANY WOMEN ARE DEAD MATE AFTER TAKING OUT VROS... ARE YOU SUGGESTING ALL THOSE WOMEN DIDNT TAKE THAT STEP BEFORE DYING...a very violent death I might add.
I doubt it is many cods. Can you give one example?
On the other hand, there are plenty who have died when it could have been prevented with a restraining order, such as this child.
https://www.qt.com.au/news/just-25-of-thugs-who-breach-dvos-go-to-jail/3120658/MORE than 24,000 Queensland family abuse thugs breached domestic violence orders in the past 28 months, but only a quarter of these perpetrators spent any time in jail.
The shocking statistics have spurred calls for courts to show no mercy to offenders who repeatedly harass, stalk, abuse and intimidate their victims.
An ARM Newsdesk examination of Queensland Government data reveals that 24,178 people were sentenced for DVO breach offences from July, 2014 to October 2016.
However, only 6380 of those offenders spent any time behind bars for disregarding court orders.
Just over 8720 Queenslanders breached DVOs in the 2014-15 financial year and 2206 of those offenders were jailed as a result.
In 2015-16, there was a massive increase in breaches with 11,225 offenders caught and 3094 jailed.
So far this financial year, 4226 abusers have breached DVOs and 1080 of those have been jailed.
According to Queensland Police, the number of domestic and family violence applications increased 19% from 25,143 in 2014-15 to 29,938 in 2015-16.
DVO offenders can be jailed for three to five years.
Front-line domestic violence workers believe more than 65 Australian women have lost their lives as a result of intimate partner or family violence this year.
Research shows that domestic violence order breaches are often precursors to family violence murders.
Women's Legal Service Queensland co-ordinator Angela Lynch
said a lot of breaches were not being taken seriously by authorities."Our clients are reporting to us problems in getting breaches acted upon or taken seriously," Ms Lynch said.
as you know fd its almost impossible to get those stats
but read the above and remember thats QLD ONLY...
we have a HUGE PROBLEM in this country fd.....
you seriously believe a women living with DV would not go to the police..who would advocate a DVO...and lead the women to believe it will stop the violence...
,,may as well fly a kite.. it wont stop anything either.
