Orange County Task Force Releases Domestic Violence Study

Dr. Jorge Galindo is a licensed marriage, family, and child therapist. He has managed a private practice in Irvine, California, alongside his wife since 2000. As a licensed therapist, Dr. Jorge Galindo maintains a number of certifications designed to enhance his professional offerings, including certification as a domestic violence provider in Orange County.

In early 2022, an Orange County task force released findings from a decade-long study of domestic violence. One of the most critical determinations made by the task force involved a call on county officials to address the various barriers and challenges that victims face when looking for support. Without intervention in this area, fatalities resulting from domestic violence are unlikely to change.

The study found that nearly half of the 113 domestic violence deaths in the county involved a person with a recorded history of violence. Despite this fact, only 9 percent of the cases included a restraining order. The lack of restraining orders against individuals known for violence is just one of several systemic issues uncovered during the study.
