By Janet Langjahr

ADVERTISEMENTS

With 2009, a new era begins in Illinois orders of protection.

Although not inexpensive, where used, this system should “buy” a great deal of peace of mind - and actual safety - for victims of domestic violence … and ultimate savings to the government by deterring violations by abusers.
