You are the mayor of a medium-sized city, which has an ordinance that requires arrest in domestic violence cases that \”show evidence of physical injury.\” Unfortunately, the ordinance does not define physical injury. Most officers interpret this to mean any sign of physical injury, such as a black eye or bruised arm, but some officers choose to interpret it to mean only serious injuries such as fractures. As a result, some cases are ignored, and you have heard rumors that some victims are considering a civil lawsuit against the police department. Answer the following questions:

1.) What can be done to remedy this problem?

2.) What additional efforts should you make with the police and to the public?
