Explain the general feelings of domestic violence victims toward domestic violence courts.
What will be an ideal response?
There is evidence that domestic violence victims have positive attitudes toward domestic violence courts and toward their own experiences in these courts. One study found that victims of domestic violence supported the idea of a specialized domestic violence court and reported that the existence of such a court would make them more likely to report future violence (Smith, 2001). Another evaluation revealed that victims whose cases were prosecuted by domestic violence courts were at least "somewhat" satisfied with the outcome and handling of their cases (Hotaling & Buzawa, 2003).
