And here he is in the Star-Ledger referring to perpetrators of domestic violence as "husband or boyfriend."

Is this a thing already in Texas?

There would be fewer convictions. A public registry is very debilitating and judges have a lot of discretion. Domestic violence allegations very rarely come before a jury, with respect to the number of allegations that get made. I think this sub is well read in that subject matter.

Nevertheless, those who do end up on the registry, once again, do not get substantial details put up because it would infringe on the privacy of the victims. So, as a result, and as is the case with the sex offender list, searchers just assume the worst about perpetrators on the list.

Domestic/family violence/abuse is actually an extremely broad spectrum of crimes, encompassing the worst offenses that would generally involve significant physical evidence, to the most minor, which usually comes down to he-said-she-said.

I wouldn't have a problem with a list for repeat offenders of more heinous crimes in general, but that's definitely not what's being proposed here. Even the author found inspiration for the bill from severe incidences involving repeat offenders. Her bill goes quite a bit further than that.

I just got off the phone with Asm. Gusciora's office today: (609) 292-0500. The legislation was introduced yesterday, though the aide was having difficulty finding the exact number of the bill. Apparently, they want to upgrade strangling to the level of aggravated assault too.

I am all for people being held accountable for their actions, and feel that domesetic violence is a horrible thing. However, I am concerned about the abuse of the system by which women get men charged with false crimes to ruin their lives. I am interested in seeing what safeguards they are going to implement, and how they fairly and equitably list women that are violent as well.

Isn't this 98% of guys in New Jersey?
