Spouse abuse law, writing homework help

Morgan is a chronic alcoholic and repeatedly abuses his wife Sally. Though the police have been called several times, Sally always refuses to press charges against her husband. Imagine that you are a police officer called in by neighbors who are concerned by Morgan beating up Sally yet again. You arrive to find Sally badly bruised and bleeding, cowering in a corner. Morgan is drunk and hurling abuses at her. When you ask Sally if Morgan has been beating her, she shakes her head. Analyze the situation and write a two-page paper on the role you can play in this situation. Can you ensure Sally’s safety even if she refuses to press charges?
