Answer: Domestic violence is a crime.

According to the Phoenix Police Department:

When police respond to a domestic violence 911 call, the police officers may determine that charges are appropriate and issue a charge at the scene or send the case to a detective for more investigation.  After investigation, the detective may submit the case to the prosecuting agency for review for criminal charges; misdemeanor crimes are sent to the City of Phoenix Prosecutor's Office and felonies are sent to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.) A prosecuting attorney will then review the case and decide whether criminal charges should be filed.
