"From the article:
"And according to columnist Glenn Sacks, the evidence standard for restraining orders is so low that they are often issued without any allegation of violence."
"...Baskerville believes the legislation is being manipulated in U.S. courts. "It politicizes crime so that crimes are not defined by due process, by criminality, or by one's acts," he avers. "They come to be defined by what group one belongs to, or the relationship between the parties."
"Baskerville says the Violence Against Women Act, while designed to protect women from abuse, has actually been used to destroy families and undermine fathers' rights. Like Sacks, he wants to see major changes in the legislation so that men as well as women are protected."
