3F Principle

911

Calling 911 probably won't result in an arrest

Calls destroy lives of 30,000 to 50,000 people per year in Colorado

Descent into hell often begins by dialing 911

Don't call if you are a man being attacked by a woman

Health effects

Is it help? Or is it a deadly trap?

Less than 30% of domestic violence calls result in arrest

Lifeline to be used only in a real emergency

Mutually assured destruction (MAD) of the relationship

Only about 10% of calls result in conviction

Present laws deter citizens from calling for help

The nightmare
