As opposed to the court doing it for them? Many victims of violence won't press charges. They are afraid to.

Regardless of whether the victims are afraid to or not we should not make it harder for victims to get restraining orders.
I mean, a restraining order is the first tool a victim has against an abuser, we shouldn't take that away.
