Stay-at-home orders have given abusers more hours in the day & more ammunition for abuse, but the pandemic hasn't caused the violence. Instead, it aggravates cycles of abuse and the existing failings in the United States’ justice system. From DawnTrook:
Jay Inslee signed an emergency order with the aim to protect victims of domestic violence. But the state Senate opted not to support the order after the 30-day period when the governor would need Senate’s approval to maintain the orders.
This was a strategy in the abusive relationship I was in—so much so, during the last couple months we were together, I kept telling him I would “do better” and not act out in a way that’s triggering. I almost checked myself into a psychiatric hospital because of frequent meltdowns and self-doubt. The last time I talked to the district attorney assigned to the case, he ended up telling me he wouldn’t talk to me again, that I was making too much trouble for him. This all-too-common language continues the pattern of diverting blame from the perpetrator., if a victim does press charges, this action can often cause more harm than good, as it may enrage their partner. Justice for the victim rarely comes in a form that would create safety.
A criminal protective order is just a piece of paper; criminal protective orders and restraining orders usually include removal of the criminal’s gun rights. A legal document does not stop a man—or anyone—who may be angry that their partner betrayed them by calling the police and pressing charges. It does not stop a person from killing a woman and her child.
