no-drop policy

English to Greek Law/Patents Law (general)
The frequent classification of battering as a misdemeanor, even when the conduct is very serious, may suggest to victims that the behavior is being trivialized" and that it is not worth the risks of prosecution for such minor consequences. Long delays, lack of witness protection, and prosecutors seeming indifference can discourage victim cooperation. The process of prosecution may be so difficult for victims, that some experts maintain that a ***no-drop policy *****may deter victims from reporting crimes. By reporting abuse, victims may sense that they have lost control of the legal process . Cahn argues that jurisdictions with no-drop policies must have victim protection programs .

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

πολιτική απαγόρευσης ανάκλησης της μήνυσης

Ή "πολιτική μη ανάκλησης της μήνυσης", απόδοση που θεωρώ λιγότερο σαφή.

Βλ. στο βιβλίο Understanding Violence Against Women (1996)
Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (CBASSE):

"A major issue in prosecution is whether or not a victim should be allowed to drop the charges. [...] Foremost among recommended policies is a ''no-drop" policy, promoted as making it impossible for a defendant to pressure a victim to drop charges, thereby possibly protecting the victim from coercive violence"
