This is the first of two videos on the topic of Domestic Violence Registries. To hear the potential negative consequences of these policies, please head to Part 2 at https://youtu.be/9iUIlyXgE_c.In this episode of The Heart Beat hosts Cameron and Caroline discuss a groundbreaking new law in Tennessee that establishes a domestic violence registry, making it the first state to implement such a measure. The law aims to enhance community safety by creating a database of individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses, which includes essential details like names and conviction dates but excludes sensitive information like addresses. The discussion highlights the law's origins, driven by a mother's tragic loss, and its potential impact on preventing intimate partner violence (IPV) by raising awareness and accountability within communities.If you or someone you know is in need of support please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or by texting START to 88788.
