In a family violence case The Tel Aviv Family Court stated in 1998 that it had adopted a model for identifying and dealing with different degrees of danger that family violence posed. The model, developed by the Social Services department, recommends that the perpetrator be ordered to keep away from the settlement/town in which the family at risk lives when the danger is rated as high. Where the model identifies the family violence as posing a medium-risk an order can be made just to keep the perpetrator from entering/approaching the home. In both cases treatment is recommended and the perpetrator is supposed to be banned from holding a weapon.
