Li Yusheng, an attorney at Fidelity Law Offices, stated that in the past, judges would consider the severity of the violation and the likelihood of recurring violence to determine whether detention was warranted. In recent cases, even after a protection order was issued, there was still a window of opportunity before police could respond if the offender violated it, and this window of opportunity still cannot completely prevent the danger. Influenced by these cases, judges in future cases involving violations of protection orders should be more cautious in assessing the potential danger posed by domestic violence offenders to determine whether detention is necessary.
