Domestic Violence Victims A Nuisance To Cities, Filomena Gehart Jun 2016

Domestic Violence Victims A Nuisance To Cities, Filomena Gehart

Pepperdine Law Review

Nuisance ordinances generally impose fines on a property owner or landlord when the police are called to respond to incidents of crime a certain number of times at the same residence.

However, many of these nuisance ordinances do not have an exception for incidents of domestic violence and, consequently, victims are scared to call 911 or request police assistance. This comment surveys the development of nuisance laws and …
