NOTES FOR THE USER
In order to improve readability and with regard to linguistic simplifi cation, this publication is addressed mainly to women and children from page 7 on. Experience has shown, in the overwhelming majority of cases of domestic violence, they are the victims. Only very occasionally has a police protection order been made against a female partner. Naturally it can be made against an aggressive female partner, and in this case the regulations apply to her behaviour just as much as they would to a male partner. Important addresses of advice centres for men can be found in the appendix page 16 following. 4 | POLICE ORDERS FOR THE PROTECTION OF VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN KARLSRUHE "OVERCOMING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" PROJECT TEAM | 5
