Do you think there should be a nationwide domestic violence registry?
February 122010
Similar to the sex offender registry (accessible online)? Often times women get into abusive relationships with men who have a history of violence. Women are often shocked when they learn their abuser has a criminal past. The sad thing is that charges are usually dropped or dismissed but that doesn’t mean the person isn’t violent.
What do you think?
I totally agree with you, and it’s in the works:

Sadly, there are many registries of women who have died at the hands of an abuser:
