Is there a difference between an injunction involving domestic violence and an injunction involving repeat violence?
Yes. Domestic Violence Injunction: Where an individual is the victim of domestic violence OR has reasonable cause to believe he/she is in imminent danger of becoming a victim of domestic violence. Domestic Violence includes: assault, aggravated assault, battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any other criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death to one family or household member by another family or household member. Repeat Violence Injunction: Where an individual is the victim of TWO instances of violence or stalking. Violence involves non-family members (usually neighbors or co-workers).
