Investigators say as many as 20 people were involved in or stood and watched the gang rape of a 15-year old girl outside a California high school homecoming dance Saturday night. As many as 10 people were involved in a dimly lighted back alley at the school, while another 10 people watched without calling 911 to report it. According to Gagan, “ as people announced over time that this was going on, more people came to see, some actually participated” (qtd. in “Police: As many as 20 present at gang rape outside school dance”).

The officers pulled him out the car and beat him brutally while a resident caught it all on tape. Four LAPD officers were indicted with charges, however, after a year of trial, a white jury acquitted the officers. That decision sparked violence in all of Los Angles. Chaos surrounded the city, infuriated mobs roamed the streets, and several citizens were injured, dead, and arrested.
Society argues that criminals should be punished with lengthy jail terms for the security of society. However, the outcome of this objective would allow the offender to return back into society so that he/she can become a productive citizen.

At a time when as a nation we are taking positive steps to address domestic violence through the family violence amendments in the Family Law Act and through engaging all in the community to address violence against women through the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children, the NSW Government is making a shameful retreat in the battle against domestic violence. Now Australia is in the process of abolishing the victim’s compensation scheme and replacing it with a scheme that will reduce compensation to a fraction of current levels, while ignoring the realities of domestic violence.
