This document describes a scenario where two rookie police officers respond to a domestic violence call. When they arrive, they find a woman with injuries who answers the door. Her boyfriend had fled the scene. The officers try to get the woman to file a report, but she refuses, saying it will only make things worse. A few days later, the same officers respond to another call at the house and find the woman with a broken arm, and she decides to file charges this time. The chief of police then asks one of the officers to write a paper analyzing this case and discussing domestic violence laws in the state to help develop new policies for the police department.
