Reasons women don’t leave a violence and the offender. Domestic violence is a misde- meanor unless a weapon is used. The crime’s maximum sentence is one year in jail, and this is usually lessened if the offender enters a treatment program. Harsher penal ties need to be in place. The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic Violence (OCADV) is an umbrella organization for shelters and crisis hotlines throughout the state. The council consists of social and legal services to respond to do mestic violence. Because only 10 percent of women’s requests for help can be served, a push for more shel ters, more prosecution and increased public awareness are OCADV’s goals. In the meantime, there are hotlines. The YWCA Women’s Re source Center has emergency shel ter and counseling available and may be reached at (503) 294-7444; Clackamas Women’s Services, at (503) 654-2288. Offenders may call to get help too. A batterer’s re education program is offered by the Men’sResourceCenterat(503)235-3433. .
