It goes without saying that everyone should feel safe and secure in their own home. For all too many people, across all segments of our society, though, domestic violence threatens their safety and security. Domestic violence is particularly tragic when vulnerable victims, such as children, suffer at the hands of the people closest to them. But violence in the home is not just tragic - it is also a crime. The Assistant District Attorneys and Victim Witness Advocates of this office are specially trained to prosecute offenders and to address the needs of victims in a sensitive manner.
