Abstract
The legislature intends that the official response to domestic abuse stresses enforcing the laws to protect the victim. Therefore, after July 1, 1995, the preferred response in a domestic abuse case is to arrest the primary aggressor, according to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 36, Chapter 3, Part 6.
