In Most case when a Domestic Violence was taking place the Police would arrive and most times calm the situation down the most common advice from the Police Officer to the Husband would be leave the home or apartment for while, let things cool down then come back, what would happen most times the Husband was intoxicated from the start so 90% of the time he would end up in a local bar Drinking more and sometimes become more in rage with his wife or loved one, hours later he would then proceed home to start the whole fight over again with wife or girlfriend and they could end up in the hospital or even dead, all of this could have been avoided if the aggressor was arrested from the start, in most case the wife or girlfriend where in fear retribution from the husband or boyfriend they would not want to press charges out or fear or worried that the husband would lose money from not working or get fired for not showing up for work due to the fact he was in jail, so most states have a must arrest policy even if the wife or girlfriend do not want to press charges if the responding Police Officer feels that Domestic Violence has happen he can sign the compliant and make the arrest for the safety of the wife or girlfriend and let the courts figure it out.
