Valley Voices | Domestic Violence Bill Reaches Legislature

Colorado Public Radio

On today's Valley Voices, we highlight a recent episode of Purplish from the Colorado Capital News Alliance on domestic violence.

A bill advancing through Colorado's statehouse would require law enforcement officers to ask a set of 11 questions — 11 very specific questions, meant to measure someone’s risk of dying at the hands of their abuser. Backers say the change is especially urgent now, because even though homicides in Colorado have gone down in recent years, domestic violence killings have gone up.
