Project to stamp out domestic violence expands (4)

Fang Fuquan, 70, said through the mediation he realized beating his disabled wife is wrong. Police and committee members visited the couple after receiving reports that Fang often hit his wife and sometimes refused to give her food and medicine.

"They have done a lot to teach us to be more tolerant and learn to understand each other," he said.

Since 2009, Lu's officers have been required to keep records of visits to homes with domestic violence, thanks to a training program organized by the women's federation.

The records include the time, place, a brief summary of the case, and details of injuries and evidence, he said, adding that the documents also contain the fingerprints and signatures of all parties involved.

"It's simple, but it not only gives the perpetrator a warning but can also be used as evidence in court," Lu said.
