With domestic-related murders growing nationwide, this program looks at the efforts of one city to reverse these trends. In Nashville, TN, the police have formed a special unit to focus on domestic violence. This program speaks with victims and the police, and we see firsthand the results achieved from serving warrants on abusers and getting them into the criminal justice system without involving the victims. A counseling program that aims to help abusers learn to stop the violence and the effects of domestic violence on children are also examined. (28 minutes)
