Re "Police Take On Family Violence to Avert Deaths" (front page, July 25):
It is great to see that the New York Police Department is investing more resources to protect those most at risk of escalating violence by an intimate partner and is taking an aggressive, hands-on approach.
More police officers dedicated to domestic violence, using smarter strategies, can make a difference, but the criminal justice system is just one piece of the puzzle.
Civil legal remedies are equally important. When the family lawyer or immigration lawyer works together with the district attorney and the police, you get a coordinated community response that's proved to be effective.
One of the many reasons women may reconcile with their batterers is that there are children involved, so until our family courts give weighty consideration to domestic violence in the custody and visitation orders they issue and understand the risk factors for lethality, serious gaps will remain, leaving too many victims at risk.
