Om f\u00f6rfattaren\u00a0(2014)<\/h3>\n

Barry Goldstein has practiced law in New York since 1978. He served on the Board of Directors of My Sisters’ Place, one of the leading domestic violence agencies in the country for 14 years, including four years as Chairperson. As a result, many domestic violence agencies have referred clients to Mr. Goldstein because he is one of the few lawyers with expertise in domestic violence and because of his willingness to take cases on a pro bono or reduced fee basis. Mr. Goldstein has also worked with the Community Change Project of the Volunteer Counseling Service in Rockland County, New York since January of 1999 teaching domestic violence classes for men who have been convicted of domestic violence crimes.<\/p>\n\t

Why I Wrote This Book: Barry Goldstein, The Quincy Solution<\/a><\/h2>\n\n

Oct 22, 2014<\/p>\n

I have seen too many tragic stories where abusers kill women, children and sometimes police officers out of their sense of entitlement to control their partners. In custody courts children are routinely taken from safe protective mothers who are the primary attachment\u00a0figures and forced to live with dangerous abusers. These stories are far more painful because most domestic violence crimes can be prevented.<\/p>\n\n

From the late-1970s until the mid-1990s, leaders in Quincy, Massachusetts developed a group of best practices that dramatically reduced domestic violence crime. District Attorney Bill Delahunt noticed that virtually every inmate at a nearby high security prison had a childhood history that included domestic violence and often sexual abuse. He believed that by preventing domestic violence he could reduce all crimes and this is exactly what he accomplished. A county that averaged 5 to 6 domestic violence homicides annually enjoyed several years with no murders. Communities like Nashville and San Diego enjoyed similar results from these best practices.<\/p>\n

In the course of interviewing leaders from Quincy, someone gave me a link to medical research based on the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Studies. ACE demonstrates that children exposed to domestic violence, child abuse and other traumas will suffer more illnesses and injuries and their life expectancy is reduced. The essence of domestic violence is that the abusers seek to coerce and scare their partners to do what he wants. Living with the fear creates enormous stress in abused women and children and this leads to many health and societal problems including cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, AIDS, auto-immune diseases, depression, PTSD, suicide, substance abuse, auto accidents and crime.<\/p>\n

Our society has always tolerated what we now call domestic violence and child abuse. The present level of disease and social problems is based on this tolerance so that when we take effective actions to prevent domestic violence public health will improve and costs will be reduced. The United States spends $750 billion annually on health costs related to domestic violence. The additional costs of crime and the failure of victims, children and abusers to reach their economic potential means that this unintended abuser subsidy costs over one trillion dollars annually. I believe the best practices in the Quincy Solution will quickly save $500 billion. These savings will provide a huge incentive for public officials to implement the Quincy Solution and make women and children safe in their homes.<\/p>\n

The effective practices in Quincy included strict enforcement of criminal laws, orders of protection, probation rules, practices that make it easier for victims to leave their abuser and a coordinated community response. I have updated this work to include new research, technology like GPS and the custody courts. Bill Delahunt noticed that victims stopped cooperating when their abusers sought custody. This did not derail the success in Quincy because at the time it was a rare tactic. Today it is a standard tactic for the most dangerous abusers to seek custody as a strategy to regain control over their victims, but the custody courts are so anxious to keep even dangerous fathers in children’s lives that they fail to recognize or respond effectively to abuse reports.<\/p>\n

The custody courts must be part of the Quincy Solution because the ability of abusers to manipulate the court to regain control over their victims undermines the work to prevent domestic violence. We seek to accomplish this with the Safe Child Act which says that the health and safety of children must be the first priority in all custody and visitation decisions. Many people are surprised this is not already the law and we have received a good response from legislators because the remedy seems so obvious.<\/p>\n

The custody courts are particularly bad in responding to reports made by mothers about possible child sexual abuse. Although deliberate false allegations occur less than 2% of the time, the custody courts give custody to alleged sexual abusers in 85% of the cases. This means many children are sentenced to live with their rapists. The courts routinely use flawed practices and have trouble believing that a father who is successful in other parts of his life could commit such a heinous act.<\/p>\n

This routine failed response led to a horrific miscarriage of justice in the Elsa Newman case. In the midst of a disputed custody case in which there was strong evidence the father was sexually abusing the children, the boys’ godmother went to the father’s home, found him in bed with one of the boys and naked from the waist down. In the struggle for her gun a shot went off and hit him in the leg. The father immediately decided to use this crime to try to silence and discredit the mother, Elsa Newman.<\/p>\n

Dr. Eli Newberger was a professor of pediatrics at Harvard and one of the leading experts in child sexual abuse. He found that the investigation of sexual abuse allegations in the Newman case was particularly flawed and these mistakes led to the report being disbelieved. The prosecutors had no evidence linking Elsa to the crime. They attempted to convince Margery Landry who committed the crime to testify that Elsa was involved. She refused to do so because Elsa had no involvement but the jury was not told this. The prosecutor was allowed to suggest that Elsa had deliberately made false sexual abuse allegations based on the failure of the custody court to use proper practices. This and prejudicial publicity led to the conviction of an innocent woman. She has been jailed for over a decade. Subsequent research including from the US Justice Department supports her innocence but thus far Maryland has been unwilling to correct this injustice.<\/p>\n

I had to write this book because we have the ability to dramatically reduce domestic violence crime. This will improve the lives of battered women and their children. It will make our children healthier, happier and the country $500 billion richer.<\/p>\n

Google-\u00f6vers\u00e4ttning av Barry Goldsteins artikel ovan:<\/h2>\n

Jag har sett f\u00f6r m\u00e5nga tragiska historier d\u00e4r \u00f6vergrepp d\u00f6dar kvinnor, barn och ibland poliser p\u00e5 grund av deras attityd av att ha r\u00e4tt att kontrollera sina partners. I v\u00e5rdnadsdomstolar tas barn rutinm\u00e4ssigt fr\u00e5n de trygga skyddande m\u00f6drar som \u00e4r den fr\u00e4msta anknytningen\u00a0och tvingas leva med farliga \u00f6vergrepp. Dessa ber\u00e4ttelser \u00e4r mycket sm\u00e4rtsammare eftersom det mesta av v\u00e5ldsut\u00f6vningen i hemmet (Domestic Violence=DV) kan f\u00f6rhindras.<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e5n slutet av 1970-talet till mitten av 1990-talet utvecklade ledare i Quincy, Massachusetts en grupp b\u00e4sta metoder som dramatiskt minskade v\u00e5ld i hemmet.<\/strong> Distriktsadvokat Bill Delahunt m\u00e4rkte att praktiskt taget alla f\u00e5ngar i ett n\u00e4rliggande h\u00f6gs\u00e4kerhetsf\u00e4ngelse hade en barndomshistoria som inkluderade v\u00e5ld i hemmet och ofta sexuella \u00f6vergrepp<\/strong>. Han trodde att han genom att f\u00f6rhindra v\u00e5ld i hemmet kunde minska alla brott och det var precis vad han \u00e5stadkom<\/strong>. Ett l\u00e4n som tidigare haft i genomsnitt 5 till 6 \u00a0kvinnomord i samband med DV \u00e5rligen, har minskat dessa till noll. Samh\u00e4llen som Nashville och San Diego fick liknande resultat fr\u00e5n dessa b\u00e4sta metoder.<\/p>\n

Under intervjun med ledare fr\u00e5n Quincy gav n\u00e5gon mig en l\u00e4nk till medicinsk forskning baserad p\u00e5 studierna ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences).<\/strong> ACE visar att barn som uts\u00e4tts f\u00f6r v\u00e5ld i hemmet, barnmisshandel och andra traumatiska upplevelser \u00e4r statistiskt \u00f6verrepresenterade i fr\u00e5ga om utsatthet f\u00f6r sjukdomar och skador och deras f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntade livsl\u00e4ngd minskar. Grundproblemet i DV i \u00e4r att f\u00f6r\u00f6varna f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker tvinga och skr\u00e4mma sina partners att underordna sig deras kontroll och vilja. Att leva med r\u00e4dslan skapar enorm stress hos misshandlade kvinnor och barn och detta leder till m\u00e5nga h\u00e4lso- och samh\u00e4llsproblem, inklusive cancer, hj\u00e4rtsjukdomar, stroke, diabetes, AIDS, autoimmuna sjukdomar, depression, PTSD, sj\u00e4lvmord, missbruk, bilolyckor och brottslighet.<\/p>\n

V\u00e5rt samh\u00e4lle har alltid tolererat det vi nu kallar v\u00e5ld i hemmet och barnmisshandel. Den nuvarande niv\u00e5n p\u00e5 sjukdomar och sociala problem bygger p\u00e5 denna tolerans s\u00e5 att n\u00e4r vi vidtar effektiva \u00e5tg\u00e4rder f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rhindra v\u00e5ld i hemmet kommer folkh\u00e4lsan att f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttras och kostnaderna kommer att minskas. USA spenderar 750 miljarder dollar \u00e5rligen p\u00e5 h\u00e4lsokostnader relaterade till v\u00e5ld i hemmet.<\/strong> De extra kostnaderna f\u00f6r brott och misslyckandet f\u00f6r offer, barn och \u00f6vergreppare att n\u00e5 sin ekonomiska potential inneb\u00e4r att denna oavsiktliga missbrukarsubvention kostar \u00f6ver en biljon dollar \u00e5rligen. Jag tror att de b\u00e4sta metoderna i Quincy-l\u00f6sningen snabbt kommer att spara 500 miljarder dollar. Dessa besparingar kommer att ge ett stort incitament f\u00f6r offentliga tj\u00e4nstem\u00e4n att genomf\u00f6ra Quincy-l\u00f6sningen och g\u00f6ra kvinnor och barn s\u00e4kra i sina hem.<\/p>\n

De effektiva metoderna i Quincy omfattade strikt till\u00e4mpning av strafflagar, skydds\u00e5tg\u00e4rder, pr\u00f6vningsregler, metoder som g\u00f6r det l\u00e4ttare f\u00f6r offren att l\u00e4mna sin missbrukare och ett samordnat samh\u00e4llssvar. Jag har uppdaterat detta arbete f\u00f6r att inkludera ny forskning, teknik som GPS och v\u00e5rdnadsdomstolarna. Bill Delahunt m\u00e4rkte att offren slutade samarbeta n\u00e4r deras missbrukare s\u00f6kte v\u00e5rdnad. Detta sp\u00e5rade inte framg\u00e5ngen i Quincy eftersom det vid den tiden var en s\u00e4llsynt taktik. Idag \u00e4r det en standardtaktik f\u00f6r de farligaste f\u00f6r\u00f6varna att s\u00f6ka v\u00e5rdnad som en strategi f\u00f6r att \u00e5terf\u00e5 kontrollen \u00f6ver sina offer, men v\u00e5rdnadsdomstolarna \u00e4r s\u00e5 angel\u00e4gna om att h\u00e5lla till och med farliga f\u00e4der i barns liv att de misslyckas med att erk\u00e4nna eller svara effektivt p\u00e5 rapporter om missbruk .<\/p>\n

Familjeomstolarna m\u00e5ste vara en del av Quincy-l\u00f6sningen eftersom f\u00f6r\u00f6vares f\u00f6rm\u00e5ga att manipulera domstolen f\u00f6r att \u00e5terf\u00e5 kontrollen \u00f6ver sina offer undergr\u00e4ver arbetet f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rhindra v\u00e5ld i hemmet. Vi str\u00e4var efter att uppn\u00e5 detta med Safe Child Act som s\u00e4ger att barns h\u00e4lsa och s\u00e4kerhet m\u00e5ste vara den f\u00f6rsta prioriteten i alla v\u00e5rdnads- och bes\u00f6ksbeslut. M\u00e5nga \u00e4r f\u00f6rv\u00e5nade \u00f6ver att detta inte redan \u00e4r lagen och vi har f\u00e5tt ett bra svar fr\u00e5n lagstiftare eftersom botemedlet verkar s\u00e5 uppenbart.<\/p>\n

Familjedomstolarna svarar s\u00e4rskilt d\u00e5ligt p\u00e5 rapporter fr\u00e5n m\u00f6drar om eventuella sexuella \u00f6vergrepp mot barn. Trots att antalet avsiktligt falska anklagelser ber\u00e4knats f\u00f6rekomma i mindre \u00e4n 2% av fallen, ger familjedomstolarna v\u00e5rdnaden till de misst\u00e4nkta f\u00f6r\u00f6varna av p\u00e5st\u00e5dda sexuella \u00f6vergrepp i 85% av fallen. Detta inneb\u00e4r att m\u00e5nga barn d\u00f6ms att leva med sina v\u00e5ldt\u00e4ktsm\u00e4n. Domstolarna anv\u00e4nder rutinm\u00e4ssigt felaktig praxis och har sv\u00e5rt att erk\u00e4nna faktum att en f\u00e4der som har framg\u00e5ng i andra delar av sina liv skulle kunna beg\u00e5 s\u00e5 avskyv\u00e4rd handlingar.<\/p>\n

Detta rutinm\u00e4ssiga misslyckade svar ledde till ett fruktansv\u00e4rt missf\u00f6rh\u00e5llande av r\u00e4ttvisa i Elsa Newman-fallet. Mitt i ett omtvistat v\u00e5rdnadsm\u00e5l d\u00e4r det fanns starka bevis f\u00f6r att fadern utsatte barnen f\u00f6r sexuella \u00f6vergrepp, gick pojkens gudmor till faderns hem, d\u00e4r hon \u00a0fann honom i s\u00e4ngen med en av pojkarna och naken fr\u00e5n midjan och ned\u00e5t. I kampen om hennes pistol avlossades ett skott som tog honom i benet. Fadern best\u00e4mde sig omedelbart f\u00f6r att anv\u00e4nda detta brott f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rs\u00f6ka tysta och miskreditera modern Elsa Newman.<\/p>\n

Dr Eli Newberger var professor i barnl\u00e4kare vid Harvard och en av de ledande experterna p\u00e5 sexuella \u00f6vergrepp mot barn. Han fann att utredningen av anklagelser om sexuellt \u00f6vergrepp i Newman-fallet var s\u00e4rskilt bristf\u00e4llig och dessa misstag ledde till att rapporten inte blev betrodd. \u00c5klagarna hade inga bevis som kopplade Elsa till brottet. De f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte \u00f6vertyga Margery Landry som begick brottet att vittna om att Elsa var inblandad. Hon v\u00e4grade att g\u00f6ra det f\u00f6r att Elsa inte hade n\u00e5gon inblandning, men juryn fick inte veta detta. \u00c5klagaren till\u00e4ts \u00e5tala Elsa f\u00f6r att medvetet ha riktat falska anklagelser om sexuella \u00f6vergrepp baserat p\u00e5 att v\u00e5rdnadsdomstolen inte skulle ha handlagt \u00a0fallet enligt korrekt praxis. Detta och f\u00f6rdomsfull publicitet ledde till att en oskyldig kvinnas blev d\u00f6md. Hon har d\u00e4refter suttit f\u00e4ngslad i \u00f6ver ett decennium. Efterf\u00f6ljande forskning, inklusive st\u00f6d fr\u00e5n USA:s justitieministerium, som p\u00e5visat hennes oskuld, har Maryland hitintills inte st\u00e4llt sig villig r\u00e4tta till denna or\u00e4ttvisa.<\/p>\n

Jag var tvungen att skriva den h\u00e4r boken eftersom vi har f\u00f6rm\u00e5gan att dramatiskt minska v\u00e5ld i hemmet. Detta kommer att f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra mishandlade kvinnors och deras barns liv. Det kommer att g\u00f6ra v\u00e5ra barn friskare, lyckligare och landet 500 miljarder dollar rikare.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
