To get back to your original 'victims' -domestic violence (sorry I strayed off topic a bit) -
As a Dhss visiting officer specialising in 'newly separated women' for many years, I can only say that in the horrendously numerous cases of domestic violence I encountered, the majority of cases resulted in no help, support or compensation for the victim.
The offenders had need of counselling too (alcoholism, anger management)
and more often than not had no assets to seize.
