Comprehension Check: Scenario 5 of 5
Adri (they/them) has a partner, Sev (he/him), who was recently arrested for domestic violence.
Sev has assaulted Adri on several occasions, but Adri has returned to Sev each time. They believe Sev when he says he wants to do better.
Today you were pulled into a last-second multi-disciplinary meeting. The district attorney, probation officer, and police officer involved in the arrest of Sev are sharing information, and trying to ask you questions about the case. You don’t technically have an ROI, because the meeting was impromptu, but they are assuming things about Adri’s behavior that you know are not true, and knowing the facts would help Adri. They’re also commenting that they’d like to “close the case as quickly as possible,” since “she’s just going to go back and do the same thing all over again.” What is your response?
