Starting this week new changes set to go into effect for Connecticut’s domestic violence laws.
“This law really empowers victims to come forward if they’ve never been physically harmed,” Christine Cocchiola, an intimate partner violence advocate and doctoral candidate focusing on coercive control at NYU said.
First introduced by former Senator Alex Kasser and now with the governor’s signature, the first of its kind revision to Connecticut’s domestic violence laws are set to take effect starting July 1.
Dan Cargill, director of Law Enforcement Services for Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence says beginning on Thursday any offender who violates a restraining or protective order will face an additional family violence crime charge.
