Should perpetrators of domestic violence be prosecuted without the victim's consent?
Yes. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, not the victims. Whether or not the victim wants the crime prosecuted is irrelevant. If the crime has been committed, there is enough evidence to prosecute, and it is in the public's interest to curb this type of crime, the crime should be prosecuted. Additionally, in the area of domestic violence battery particularly, there is an emotional involvement between the victim and the defendant. In this area, perhaps more than any other area, the defendant "gets to" the victim and discourages cooperation at an alarming rate. Often, when the victim refuses to cooperate with authorities, and the case is not prosecuted, the victim is attacked again later by the same defendant.
