IF THE WORDS ARE BLOCKED IN WHITE, HIGHLIGHT THEM AND YOU CAN READ IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS DOING THIS.

There are many times when the police get a call from Domestic Violence, but when they arrive at the house they do not speak the language of the women who has been beat. So, the husband, who beat her, ends up translating and accusing her. Sending her to jail. Many states have set up bills protecting women through domestic violence and rape. But, states do not know how to propose different bills for different ethnic groups. Domestic violence and abuse are different in certain parts. They are not trying to prevent domestic violence by focusing on certain demographic groups. “What works for one victim or 20 victims might not work in another part of the city or the state,” said Michael Polenberg. He also continued saying, "There should be a diverse range of options for victims of crime to get help that recognizes cultural and linguistic differences.”
I agree that there needs to different ways to prevent domestic violence. An African-American women is more likely to be killed by her husband or boyfriend, but an Islander is likely to be hurt by a group of people in their family. Fifty percent of gay and lesbians have been beat or killed by their partner. This shows that it is different all over the country. All over the state. Even all over the city. Your situation might be different than the person who lives a block away from you. States need to decide on what they are going to do about addressing these domestic violence issues differently. What would you propose?
