There are still holes in the laws.
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
