Domestic violence is a serious offense in Michigan as well as across the United States. There are severe legal penalties for those who are convicted of domestic violence. These include fines and jail sentences. An indictment for domestic violence can haunt someone for life. It can ruin their reputation, their career, or even their future. The National Coalition of Domestic Violence reported that Michigan is home to 36.1% of all women and 25.8% of men who will be subject to intimate partner abuse. Michigan law enforcement has taken measures to combat domestic violence.
