Victims find help on campus By Lee Jeffries Of The Print It’s the most frequently committed crime in the United States. One occurs every 12 seconds. Yet it’s perhaps the least understood crime. This crime is domestic violence. Domestic violence affects everyone regardless of race, income level, sex ana age. un*- of the myths of domestic violence is that it is only com mon among the poor. This is untrue, anyone can be a poten tial abuser. A recent study showed that college students tolerate cjomestic violence more than any other group.

One of the more haunting facts of domestic violence is that abused children are more likely to become abusers themselves. Victims of domestic violence usually don’t run away for many reasons: lack of money, confused state of mind, the abuser won’t let them leave, and also fear of retaliation. Often the police are reluctant to make an arrest at a domestic violence call because the victim usually doesn’t want to press charges against a loved one. But this is overshadowed by the fact that more police of ficers are killed answering domestic violence calls than any other call. There is an organization trying to do something about it. It’s called the Domestic Violen ce Intervention Center. It’s located here on campus. It used to be known as project B.E.T.T.E.R., and it was only for women. Now the center. provides services for everyone, services like: con fidential counseling, infor mation and referral, com munity education, support groups, shelter and safe homes.
