Quality assurance process
The Ministry of Justice does not provide regular and consistent data – as the state attorneys working there are constantly rotating – they have neither capacity nor enough employees to consistently deal with the topic. Nor are protection orders a priority for the Ministry of Justice (“Verfahrensautomatik” is in the making). The district courts do collect data related to the topic however they cannot be used for statistics as these statistics are simply wrong.
