With certainty, over the progression in maturity that policing and law enforcement have seen.... Without a doubt, survivors' experiences have probably seen a lack of reception from policing, but it's my experience now that it has matured so much in the last decade. Our shift to looking at risk and mitigating risk versus dealing with what we see being presented at the doorstep has changed insofar as now we are equally frustrated with our inability to stop the cycle of violence.
Now I think survivors experience a general frustration with the lack of effectiveness of the tools we have. In their minds, without a doubt, they interpret that—and I'm not speaking as a survivor—as our not taking it seriously or not managing it well.
For example, this proposed legislation, although not a panacea, is another arrow in the quiver.
