Protection from violence: restraining order for victims is a bad idea

had not been Ill-advised, his Parliamentary Initiative, said Michael beaver (FDP, Bachenbülach): "After all, 110 members of this Council found the concerns are well worth examining." This was, of course, only in the first debate last may.

Today, the Situation was quite different, it was clear from the beginning: beaver initiative wouldn't get a single vote. Not even the initiators themselves. And that is very unusual.

looking for new victims contact with the offender

beaver, himself a policeman by profession, had demanded to give the police the opportunity to be able to domestic violence, not only the offender but also the victim of a contact ban may be imposed. It always come back that the victim aushebelten the protective measures, had argued the beaver.

The Problem: The violence protection experts from the police rejected the proposal chosen, as safety Director, Mario Fehr (SP). There were no cases in which the victims, the offenders contact. Rather, the danger is that such a rule discourages the victim to call the police.

minimum duration of 14 days is not softened

fared no better a second parliamentary Initiative by Benedikt Hoffmann (SVP, Zurich). They, too, had been supported with a total of 111 votes provisionally. And also yesterday, it was unanimously rejected. Hoffmann had demanded more flexibility regarding the duration of force protection measures. Today, the police can, if they move due to domestic violence, a removal order, a contact or a rayon ban for 14 days, Express; in the future, the measures could have been shorter.

this proposal, the experts of the police and councillor Fehr refused to be decided, and the Parliament of the Canton joined the. "The police would have in an already delicate Moment within a very short time to decide whether to have a removal order of five or ten or fourteen days," said Joerg Kündig (FDP, Gossau). This was not, however, make sense.

The discussions on the protection against violence act is not complete yet. Pending another move, a Motion is also by Michael beaver. It requires an extension of the law on Stalking cases. Already now it is foreseeable that the discussions are likely to be violent.
