Discussions about the role of the judicial system in dealing with violence focus on cases of violent crime. While the criminal courts are an important component of any overall violence reduction strategy, the response is largely reactive rather than preventive. Family law cases, on the other hand, provide opportunities for the provision of prevention and early intervention services to families at risk. Such services are critical to successfully address the epidemic of violence.
关于司法系统在应对暴力方面的作用的讨论主要集中在暴力犯罪案件上。虽然刑事法庭是任何整体减少暴力战略的重要组成部分，但这种应对措施很大程度上是被动反应而非预防性的。另一方面，家庭法案件为向处于危险中的家庭提供预防和早期干预服务提供了机会。此类服务对于成功应对暴力泛滥问题至关重要。
