What is dual arrest, and why is it a discouraged practice?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Dual arrest is the practice when both parties in the domestic-violence-related assault are arrested. Both the courts and legislator discourage this practice because it fails to protect and further victimizes the individual who is not the batterer. Same-sex relationships are particularly vulnerable to dual arrests because the police may have difficulty in determining who the primary aggressor was.
