Mandatory domestic violence charges too infrequent, women say
http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/ottawa/topstories/mandatory-domestic-violence-charges-too-infrequent-women-say-1.2847529
From the article:
When it comes to domestic violence, when and how police intervene can make the difference between life and death, and that's why all police forces in Ontario have a policy of mandatory charging...
But some women say Ottawa police aren't enforcing the policy, and that lack of enforcement is putting women at risk.
