Candace Harrinarine, the associate director of Victim Services at FAU, commented on the significance of the new legislation. Between 2022 and 2024, 2023 had the most cases of dating violence, with a total number of 21. Domestic violence is categorized by living with, being married to, having children with, or being blood-related to the abuser. Second-year health science major Tiffani Davis says that expanding protections for dating violence victims brings awareness to college relationships that are often overlooked. Statistics from a 2011 College Dating Violence and Abuse Poll show that 57% of college students who report dating violence say the abuse happened in college.
