Domestic Violence Unit is recruiting Spanish-speaking counselors, officers

The Domestic Violence Unit of the Metro Nashville Police Department is recruiting Spanish-speaking counselors and police officers in an effort to reach the Hispanic population. At a Vanderbilt University domestic violence forum, Dr. Yoli Redero, visiting assistant clinical professor of law, noted the decreased likelihood of Hispanic women to report domestic violence, and the decreased likelihood that those who do report domestic violence will pursue the incarceration of their husband.
