 The CPS : Domestic Violence
Today, far from being considered a mitigating factor, violence in the domestic context is seen by society as an aggravating factor because it amounts to a fundamental breach of trust - everyone is entitled to feel safe in his or her personal relationships.
CPS regards domestic violence as particularly serious as it often involves a continuing threat to a victim's safety and, in the worst cases, the victim's life and the lives of others (including children) may be at risk.
“Domestic violence” is a general term to describe a range of behaviour often used by one person to control and dominate another with whom they have, or have had, a close or family relationship and in which the abuser operates from a position of perceived power.

 Domestic Policy
It has been accompanied by rising rates of domestic violence and a relative decline of male earnings that has made men more dispensable in the minds of poor women seeking to escape abusive relationships—something with unintentionally positive consequences from a feminist perspective.
It is curious also to note that welfare reform has long been justified by the widely propagated and dear-to-Republicans’ belief that the expansion of liberal welfare policies and rising benefit levels during and after the 1960s provided the chief cause of the rise of female-headed families and the out-of-wedlock births.
Countering those forces would require a level of public and social investment that is anathema to conventional neo-liberal policy wisdom and particularly ruled out by Bush’s commitment to slashing taxes for and funneling billions of dollars to his super-opulent friends and corporate paymasters.

 Domestic Policy No Match for Trade Stance of Central American Countries - Southwest Economy, March/April 2005 - FRB ...
The relation between the trade index and the four selected domestic market openness measures is similar, except that the line for the four variables starts at a lower (more market-oriented policy) value than that for the eight variables.
A striking detail is the tie between GDP per capita and this trade–market policy connection and what it suggests about the relation between economic development and openness.
Moreover, while all four of the poorer countries have less domestic market openness than trade openness, the two richest of those four (El Salvador and Guatemala) have domestic openness levels closer to their trade openness ratings than the two poorest (Honduras and Nicaragua).

On Dec. 4, Chatterbox identified Margaret LaMontagne as director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Bush White House.
In the earlier item, Chatterbox identified Spellings as "director of the White House Domestic Policy Council." Chatterbox did this because Bruce Reed, the person who held Spellings' title ("assistant to the president for domestic policy") in the Clinton White House, was also director of the Domestic Policy Council.
Spellings' "formal title is 'assistant to the president for domestic policy,' which makes her director of the Domestic Policy Council," Besanceney explained.

 Domestic Policy
For the last 13 years, Miringoff and his fellow researchers at Fordham’s Institute for Innovation in Social Policy have been tracking what they call the social health of the United States.
It is disappointing that Miringoff can’t muster any data from the last two to three years—a gap that limits his study’s political and policy impact.
Still, Miringoff and the Fordham Institute deserve major credit for making a serious effort to produce and publicize what is in essence (declarations of ideological nonpartisanship notwithstanding) a left alternative to the hegemonic Index of Leading Economic Indicators and to Bennett’s reactionary cultural measures.
