Maria Navarro was celebrating her birthday with her relatives and friends in her home in East Los Angeles when she received a phone call from the brother of her estranged husband, Raymond Navarro, warning her that Raymond was on his way to her house to kill her and any others present. Maria immediately dialed 911 to request emergency assistance. She told the 911 dispatcher that she had just received a warning that her estranged husband was on his way to kill her, and that he was under a restraining order.

Restraining order violations should be judged by criminal courts according to the text an argument can be made that criminalizing the violation of a civil restraining order might limit its ability to protect victims. I disagree I don’t believe it will limit its ability to protect victims but encourage more victims to come forward and offenders will be punished for violating the order which will prevent them from further abusive to the victims.To be truly effective and enforced, police departments must have obtained copies or at least have a readily available reliable source of the terms of the order.

    The subject of autonomy is something that really caught my eye in our most recent readings. With what seems like a million definitions it could be hard to grasp the actual meaning of the word. Throughout the reading I began to understand more what the word meant and began to become more intrigue on how it is tied into victims of domestic violence.

After falling victim to domestic violence are women capable of even protecting themselves or putting themselves in a situation away from their abusive partner?
