Question: Can an abused person press criminal charges against the offending partner?
Answer: Yes. Domestic violence is a crime. If you are abused, immediately call the police or prosecuting attorney’s office. Get hospital treatment and keep records of injuries, names of witnesses, police officers and medical attendants. Get copies of medical reports. A temporary restraining order may be requested to keep your partner away from your home and work (ARS §13-3601 and §13-3602).
