November 2018
We added the crimes of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and aggravated stalking to our Florida Crimes page in English. Spanish soon to come.
We added information to two questions in our Florida Restraining Orders section about possible jail time and fines for violating an injunction for protection against stalking/cyberstalking and an injunction against repeat, dating, and sexual violence. All changes made in English and Spanish.
We updated our Alabama Crimes page and added seven new crimes, including domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation, interference with custody, and more.
We revised and reorganized the information on our Hawaii Workplace Protections page and added additional information about the definitions of sexual assault and of family and household members to What is considered to be "domestic or sexual violence" under the law?
