Should laws be enforced despite a victim's wishes?

This is a big issue for me. I think we need tougher sentencing. But DV goes both ways.

It's really a tough deal. Maybe someone with a legal background can weigh in on the options to toughen it up.

I know most of my charitable donations/time go to a women's home for DV survivors. It's amazing what these victims go through.
