When to intervene
It cannot be over emphasized that domestic violence is a crime that can result in serious physical injury and even death. If you are a neighbour or otherwise know that violence is occurring, call the police immediately. Calling the police does not always mean the abuser will be put in jail. It is simply the most effective way to protect the victim and her children from immediate harm.
