回复3楼:国外老婆不申请离婚和保护，照样不会发什么禁制令。
作者说的很清楚了，女的坚定离，应该增强保护。但遇到这种事动不动夫妻和好了，那警察也无能为力。

If you are arrested for domestic violence, the state is the prosecuting party. That means a prosecutor decides whether to move forward with your criminal case. Therefore, only they can dismiss a domestic violence charge.
德克萨斯州,press charge的是州检察官,而不是受害者.受害者改变证词等等会给检察官在法庭上给施害者定罪造成困难,但如果证据确凿,受害者改证词也没有用.

“My partner’s wishes are the only factor in the decision to prosecute.” In truth, your partner’s wishes are a very small part of the decision to prosecute. Just as only law enforcement officials have the power to make an arrest, only the Crown prosecutor has the power to decide whether charges will be laid—and the decision is solely based on the strength of the evidence.
这种被录下来打人的证据,在加拿大肯定会被检察官告的,即使受害者不提告
美国不同的州法律也不同,也不是每个州都是你说的受害者不提高警察就拿施暴者没办法

加拿大不是这样
Unfortunately, that’s not true. In Canada, domestic assault cases are pursued and prosecuted on the doctrine of “society’s interest.” This means that society itself relies on promoting acceptable behaviour and deterring criminal behaviour regardless of how it was committed and who was involved. As a result, domestic violence cases can be (and typically are) prosecuted even if the complainant doesn’t want to pursue them.
