For any of the states that want to make abuse a "family matter" that doesn't involve the authorities

8. Any states where white male Republicans hold the most power and rule with their iron fists.

Could potentially move in this direction as we have seen in this country as of late with the Thugs moving us backwards.

Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, has his own version of the Violence

Against Women Act that was reauthorized in 2005. His bill contains "a huge reduction in authorized financing, and elimination of the Justice Department office devoted to administering the law and coordinating the nation’s response to domestic violence and sexual assaults." Grassley’s funding cuts are above and beyond the $135 million reduction in funding from 2005 levels already contained in the bill the Judiciary Committee Republicans unanimously rejected…

The Violence Against Women Act was reauthorized in 2005 by unanimous consent in the Senate and with 415 votes in favor in the House, and signed by George W. Bush.

It’s up for reauthorization again now, and of course, this time, Republicans have a problem with it. The bill—which is actually cosponsored by Idaho Republican Sen. Mike Crapo—received no Republican votes in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

So I'd say any state run by white, old, nasty, hypocrite male Republicans, could potentially move in the "Domestic Violence is a Family Matter" direction.......which of course is always backwards and causes pain, suffering and sometimes death for those who they are attacking......mainly women as of late.
