With the recent tragedies that have occurred on campuses as a result of domestic violence, now is a good time for schools to evaluate or re-evaluate their institution’s readiness and response capabilities to threats and incidents of domestic violence.

Not to mention the fact that an individual living in an environment of domestic threats and domestic violence suffers immeasurable emotional and psychological trauma.
