Albany Set to Require Arrest In Domestic Violence Cases
State legislative leaders announced agreement today on a bill that would require police officers to arrest anyone suspected of seriously beating a spouse, a change the bill's sponsors said would sharply reduce police discretion in such cases and remedy spotty enforcement of domestic violence laws.

Pataki Proposes Tough Measure to Crack Down on Domestic Violence
Gov. George E. Pataki pressed ahead today with his effort to stiffen New York's laws against domestic violence, proposing lifetime orders of protection, tougher bail requirements for accused batterers and increased penalties for several offenses. The Governor said his legislation would strengthen protections for victims by insuring that judges, prosecutors and the police have more tools to fight domestic violence, which elected officials of both major parties have increasingly championed. Mr. Pataki pushed through laws in his first term that made defying an order of protection a felony and that require Family Court judges to consider domestic violence in child
