Written Assignment: Laws on Domestic Abuse

In a 3- to 5-page paper, identify one federal and one state law (in your state) that were created in response to the problems of domestic abuse.

All resources should be beyond the text material. All outside resources used should have been published within the past 5 years.

You may consult the Library, the internet, the textbook, other course material, and any other outside resources in supporting your task, using proper citations and references in APA style. Discuss how you evaluated the credibility of the resources used.
