Under the proposed bill, offenders would be ordered to register after their second domestic violence conviction. Domestic violence is all too common, and such a registry is unfortunately needed. Mississippi Today reported approximately 100 Mississippians died in 2024 in domestic violence related incidents, and domestic violence calls remain the number one most dangerous call for law enforcement to respond. A domestic violence registry won’t solve the problem, but it will give residents vital knowledge to keep themselves and their loved ones safe from those with a track record of misdeeds. That is why the domestic violence registry is unfortunately needed.
