Domestic Assault

Similar to sexual assault, domestic assault has a one-size-fits-all prosecution policy which is mainly aimed toward deterrence. As a result, charges are laid in almost every case following a complaint.

In the course of their investigation, police will often elicit facts of past incidents to lay further charges against the accused without the complainant realizing the true purpose of the questioning. Once charged, the accused is placed on bail conditions that may prohibit communication with the complainant or continued cohabitation. Such bail conditions often cause serious disruption of lives of the accused and the complainant.
