Haley Anderson produced this public service announcement for a class in Public Policy. It’s excellent and she is on to something. Domestic violence is by far the most common felony in every jurisdiction in the country (and probably the world) and yet whenever there’s talk of crime rates, crime crackdowns, or getting tough on crime, this particularly heinous and pernicious crime, a crime which destroys society at it’s fundamental unit, domestic and familial cooperation, is never discussed and is only sporadically and quietly enforced, such that knowledge of eventual and certain punishment for the crime, if it exists, is never sufficiently brought to the forefront to form any sort of deterrent, specific, general, or otherwise, to the commission of the crime.
