Laws in NH and VT

Criminal Laws: In every state there are laws determining what types of actions or behaviors are a crime. To report a crime, contact the police department in the city or town where the crime occurred (or where you think the crime most likely occurred). If you are the victim of the crime, you have certain legal rights


Restraining Orders
Asking the court for a Restraining Order is not the same as reporting a crime to the police. For more information, see Restraining Orders - General.

Internet SafetyThere are many ways for an abuser to track your computer or internet use. In many cases, it may be safer to use a computer that your abuser has never had access to, such as a computer in a public library, community technology center, or at the home of a trusted friend. To learn more about protecting yourself while using the internet, visit the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence Internet Safety Page.
