Mass. SJC and Restraining Orders

JDD writes "This article from the Boston Globe deals with a woman attending a town concert and seeing a man she has filed a restraining order against also in attendance. In addition to it being an interesting read, I found the blatant use of gender in this paragraph to be disturbing: 'The zone of protection around the victim, in this case, 100 yards, is designed to create a barrier between the victim and the batterer and prevent any contact, Wolfman said. ''The victim knows she's safe,'' she said. ''The batterer knows he has to stay away. The police know they can arrest.'''"You can e-mail the author of this article at kburge@globe.com.Source: The Boston Globe [newspaper]
