ISSUES OF FAITH: A growing problem: The church and domestic violence

THE CHURCH IS too often implicated in and guilty of putting domestic violence on the backs of those abused (often but not always women) and asking them to submit to their partner’s rule, as a way of masking an ongoing and growing problem in the church.

IPVI, domestic violence intervention program in Poughkeepsie faces dispute

However, in many of these cases the subject will not have been convicted of any crime before the program s intervening steps begin. That has Dutchess County agencies eager to implement IPVI, as it s known, facing opposition from the county Public Defender s Office. The public defender has a mandate to protect the constitutional rights of our clients. Foremost among those rights is the presumption of innocence of the accused. The IPVI program’s request for our involvement undermines our mandated duties, said Thomas Angell, Dutchess County s public defender.    Angell s office said it had provided Family Services with suggestions on how the two offices could work together, but those recommendations were not accepted.
