Almost 600 arrested in statewide sting on domestic violence offenders
Operation Amarok, a police operation targeting domestic and family violence in New South Wales, has resulted in nearly 600 arrests and over 1,000 charges being laid.
Despite the active police response, there are concerns that apprehended violence orders are falling short, as many people are not complying with them.
While increasing police powers may be a simplistic response, advocates emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach that includes timely justice responses, monitoring of AVOs, and a responsive service system to effectively address domestic and family violence.
