	7	+The first step is to utilize and expand on a policy that is already widely used: mandatory arrest. Statistics show that officers are more frequently taking official action in cases of IPV. Pozzulo, Bennell, and Forth (2009) report that the recent institution of mandatory arrest policies in Canada and much of the U.S. has led to higher rates of arrest and criminal charges for abusers; arrest rates prior to the 1990’s fell between 7 and 15, whereas current estimates now range from 30 to 75. It is clear that the development of mandatory arrest policies leads to more frequent arrest of offenders by police.

	10	+2. Limiting qualified immunity would hurt the effectiveness of the counter plan. If we limit police qualified immunity and mandate that they arrest abusers, supposed abusers can then sue thus leaving police officers open to these suits for doing the morally correct thing. Also, this applies under their case because it is in an instance of IPV. This can deter police officers from doing their job correctly and potentially leave sexual abuse survivors open to more violence if they are scared to act.

	12	+Besides taking abusers out of the home so that the sexual abuse and violence cannot continue, it condemns abusers’ conduct and places police officers in solidarity with survivors. Lockwood and Prohaska 2

	14	+It would be helpful for police administrators to ensure that mandatory arrest laws are consistently followed to achieve uniformity in arrest rates regardless of arresting officer characteristics. This would also emphasize the significance of responding to and taking official action in cases of IPV, which could result in officers taking IPV incidents more seriously. To further this effect, stronger mandatory arrest laws should replace preferred and discretionary policies in states where arrest of abusers is encouraged rather than required. By requiring police to arrest abusers when evidence of physical violence is present, the message will be conveyed to abusers that society condemns their behavior and is willing to take official legal action to stop it. It is important to note that to be effective, mandatory arrests should only be carried out when there is probable cause that an assault occurred (Lee, Zhang, and Hoover, 2013).

	16	+Arrests also deter abusers thus decreasing IPV, this is proven empirically. Lockwood and Prohaska 3

	18	+Arrests have been shown to deter abusers in past studies. This deterrent effect was seen in the Minneapolis Domestic Violence Experiment (Çelik, 2013; Sherman and Berk, 1984). Replication of the Minneapolis Domestic Violence Experiment has failed to confirm that arrest was the best option for preventing subsequent violence (Lee, Zhang, and Hoover, 2013); however, since the implementation of arrest laws, households in states where arrest is mandated have been less likely to suffer from domestic violence (Çelik, 2013; Dugan, 2003). Mandatory arrest laws also relieve the victim of responsibility for pressing charges, instead requiring police officers to identify and charge the abuser (Carney and Buttell, 2004).
