Domestic Violence Act Receives Boost by Senate

Don’t let this happen to you

As noted in “Senate Votes Overwhelmingly to Expand Domestic Violence Act” , the country’s domestic violence act will be modified to improve its effectiveness nation-wide.

With the new act we will witness protection for every victim regardless of their region, and enforced punishment for all assailants as well. However, it should be noted that there is dissent over such governmental changes, objectors question whether it’s justified to give tribal courts more influence. They worry non-indians will be at the mercy of the tribal system, which is stated to be “[a] dangerous expansion of governmental powers” by conservative groups.

Overall this act will prove to be beneficial to victims around the nation, and it demonstrates the results bipartisanship.
