In January, Professor Elaine Chiu was featured in an episode of The Low of the Land podcast describing the evolution and limitations of restraining orders as tools for protecting people from domestic violence. She discussed how public accessibility to databases concerning restraining orders would transform the way we approach intimate partner violence prevention. Acknowledging the delicate balance between public access and privacy, Professor Chiu’s focus is on empowering potential future victims with knowledge. Today’s digital age demands government support for more informed decision-making as an effective preemptive strategy.
