The laws governing domestic violence began with the best intentions of protecting family members from mistreatment. But things got complicated. Police, encouraged by the public to intervene, began making arrests with every call. Sometimes one spouse would call the police to make the other spouse look bad in custody hearings. Sometimes the violence was not violent at all – the law covers less clear-cut actions, such as intimidation, financial deprivation, sleep deprivation, unwanted touching and other behaviors.
