In conclusion, Mrs. Barrett suffered from many years of abuse from her husband. She finally snapped and shot Mr. Barrett, killing him. She did this because in self- defense and beyond reasonable doubt that he would have killed her.

One of the policies that needs to be discussed is arrest for domestic violence. This policy is regarding the pro- and mandatory arrest policies (Hoymand, et. al., 2009). This current policy is very important in families, even though there might be a few issues if kids are involved, it still would be best if the police were involved if the situation got to point of the danger of one’s life. Pro-arrest policies allow police officers to arrest when answering to call if there are indication of domestic violence such as broken glass, scrapes on a person, or knocked over furniture (Hoymand, et. al., 2009). Mandatory arrest policies take place when police officers make an arrest even though the officer did not witness the victim being assaulted by the perpetrator (Hoymand,
